    ArborDay Trees - Any Experience?

    100% of the evergreen conifers I've ever bought from Arbor Day die, because they ship them at the wrong time, just before winter. 1/3 of the deciduous tree from them die. And I'm talking death before they ever grow any. Some are dead or about dead when they arrive. And I'm good with...
