Arbor Day Foundation/Plantings for Bees

Has anyone had experience ordering from http://www.arborday.org. If you could comment on the quality of what you received it would be appreciated. Their selection and prices seem very good and I like their mission. Thanks.

We've been wondering about this too.

One of our favorite trees for bees is the Red Buckeye. They love it. You don't seem them much around here--always the white. RB are also good for Hummingbirds. Good early season bloomer.

Stay away from the California Buckeye though, it's pollen is toxic to larvae.

I have ordered from them as we'll as my neighbor. Nice trees, came in good shape and all survived transplanting. The trees were smaller whips that might take a year or two longer to bloom than nursery stock, but for the $ I am not complaining!!!

BTW, I became a member and got a discount on my purchase that more than paid for the membership and will probably order more next year.

I agree. Good products especially for the cost.

Thanks for the review. I suspected that given their mission it would be pretty good, but it is nice to get some input from other beeks.
I definitely will be putting in an order and taking advantage of that 10 free trees offer, which lets you select flowering trees that are all good bee trees. Have a great holiday!

I just ordered 30+ trees from them... they only ship out during certain times of the year, which is good for the trees. I like the prices and the quality is excellent.

Sorry, I should have put this in the previous post... I just recieved my trees from them. They were ordered a few months ago.
