Giant Tomato Tree from Gardeners' Choice

[Blessing and Miracle]

Received mine today, but not impressed at all. I think they need a better shipping method. Half of my leaves had fallen off and those remaining are brownish and wilted. For some reason, I expected them to look how they were pictured. I'm gonna have to hurry and stick them into pots.

Hoping they grow!

Give the poor things a drink and they will look better in the morning. It isamazing how much better they will look in 24 hours. My bioys always laugh when I plant something because they know it doesn't have much of a chance. But they do look better today.

Good! I'm going to try to plant them by tomorrow.

I just received my Tomato & Strawberry hanging basket.. The tomato plants do not look bad, I just wasn't ready to plant today. I'm going to put them into pots until they get a little stronger.

As for the strawberry plant, there isn't any directions with it, so I'm not sure what I should do with them. They are in a plastic bag, with a couple of leaves, but they are tangled.... Does anyone how I should plant them?

I just placed a test order of the tomatoes and strawberries and will report back.

I placed a rather large order earlier this month for several different plants...tomatoes, the tomato-potato graft, zuchinni, onions and the hanging strawberry baskets....I received my order yesterday and was very disappointed in my items. All of the plants were wrapped in plastic to where they could not even get air. They were limp, yellowed, and nearly dead. This is the worst shape I have ever had plants come in.

I had spent about $100 and do not even know if these will survive. The "hanging strawberry baskets" were just dried roots to be planted. It will be years before they bear fruit if they even live. I was trying to get a jump start on my gardening. So much for that idea.

Anyone else have issues with this company and their plants? I sent them an email about the shape of my plants. Guess I will see if they plan to make good on their products.

I totally agree with you. I will definitely not be ordering from this company again.

The tomato plants are getting stronger, I didn't plant them outside at first because they were not strong enough to make, plus it was a very cool May, I don't think they would have survived. My plan is to plant them outside this weekend. I am weathering them this week. My Strawberry plants took about 2 days and then they started growing and getting bigger. I have a couple of flowers on the plants. I'll take pictures and upload them later today.

Anna ~ Sorry to hear about your plants, I hope they rebound... I remember reading they have a guarantee on the plants if they do not survive. I'd look into it if you don't think they will survive.

Good Luck!

i sent the tomato plant and strawberry plant to my mother in law and she said she got confussed on the strawberry plant also

Mine started off really small but about what I expected for the price. I planted them outside about 10 days ago and have been watching them. So far, so good. I don't think that DD planted all of the strawberries deep enough in the pots, so I am crossing my fingers on those. But the ones I planted in the ground actually seem to be doing okay.

I planted my trees about 3 weeks ago, maybe a bit longer. I put them in BIG pots outside and they have grown quite a bit. They are definitely stronger and have a few more leaves. They're doing much better than my basil! I already killed one of those plants
