Perfectly wrapped and shipped, they are wonderful, and a fraction of the cost of the ones I could buy here. I pretty much knew which plants I wanted, having grown viburnums before, but Gary led me to some new cultivars, and his communication was the best I have ever enjoyed. He actually called to ask if I still wanted the plants I had ordered last year, and asked if I wanted delayed shipping. I had been dreaming of them all winter. Having had this experience, I will never again buy a viburnum in a garden center. Why do that when I can get beautiful plant material, outstanding customer service, perfect yet economical shipping and access to a complete expert and professional? On April 30th, 2014, DonnaMack added the following: Happy with my initial purchase of five viburnums, I emailed Gary Ladham about the possible purchase of two carlesi, asn asked whether he had a compactum, a full size, a suggestion? I am happy to say that days later Sue Ladham emailed me about the shipment of two plants. Expertly packaged, they were in bloom in the box, and no a flower was out of place. I would like to mention as I did in my original review how beautifully branched these plants are. One thing I truly respect, beyond the care put into the plants and the time spent with me as a relatively small customer, is the fact that one is invoiced after delivery. It is clear that the customer\\\'s satisfaction is paramount. I am so pleased with my two carlesis that I have decided to install them in a far more prominent location than I had planned. They are too beautiful to be missed. On November 16th, 2014, DonnaMack added the following: I would just like to add how beautifully my viburnums performed this season. I was delighted, in particular, with the sensational fall color on my two compact viburnums, and the many berries on my viburnum dentatum,\'Chicago Lustre\'. Because of difficult conditions in the spring, it leafed out late, but went on to become one of my most spectacular plants. I find myself looking around my yard for more locations, so that I can take advantage of the stellar quality of the viburnums produced by Gary and Sue Ladham. On June 18th, 2015, DonnaMack added the following: My seven viburnums acquired from Gary and Sue Ladman performed like champs and were gorgeous during and after bloom. The plants are so beautifully shaped. I am enjoying watching them form their autumn berries. I must find room for more!
