I placed an order with Jung Seed on 3/25, during their 15% off and free shipping/100.00 sale, for:
Giant Flowered Pussy Willow Shrub
Jostaberry
Borealis Canadian Haskap
Leikora Sea Berry Or Sea Buckthorn
Male Sea Berry Or Sea Buckthorn
Gooseberry Offer - 4 plants (Hinnomaki Red, Invicta, Pixwell, Tixia)
Hakuro Nishiki Willow
Boreal Beast Honeyberry
Boreal Beauty Canadian Haskap
Boreal Blizzard Canadian Haskap
Honey Bee Canadian Haskap
Everything arrived, except Trixia Gooseberry (backorder) in pretty decent shape. They were all well packaged and had moist roots or soil. I’m really impressed with the size of the Hinnomaki Gooseberry! I wouldn’t be surprised if I got a few fruits off of it this year! The Giant Pussy Willow is also HUGE! So big in fact, I can take cuttings from it now. Overall, I am really pleased with what I got and the shipping time at this point. I would order from them again! And now for the photos:
The Giant Willow, Seaberries, Jostaberry, Hinnomaki Red Gooseberry are all bundled together. The Invicta and Pixwell Gooseberries are in the green containers.
That’s good to see. I was thinking about placing an order with them last month. Didn’t know anything about them though and they had sort of high prices. Which ones are the gooseberries in the picts?
I’m about 25 miles from one of their retail stores. This will only be my fourth season living here, but I’ve generally been impressed with the bare root stock they bring in every spring. Everything I’ve gotten bare root has done really well for me. I’ve had a few issues but that was completely my fault. I’m not sure how the mail order works, but they’re good about their warranty too.
My back ordered Tixia Gooseberry arrived today. I wasn’t all that impressed with the size, but it was about the size that a lot of other nurseries send, so, typical. It was in decent shape and packaged well. It didn’t take too long to get it either, considering that it was on back order. I feel comfortable ordering from them again.
At least it came with soil, which should help it survive. That’s what I got from several vendors, some worse than that. Rolling River gave me a nice potted one, but it was on the expensive side. I found a local nursery that had only three varieties in 5 gal. pots. They were almost full grown for $25. Needless to say I was on a shopping spree.
I have a credit with Jung and I went to their site this morning to see if what I have been waiting for to become available was available yet. Well, I got this screen (it says " jungseed.com expired on 10/28/2021 and is pending renewal or deletion."). Does anyone live near Jung? I’m wondering if this was just an oversight or are they closed or what?
I hope they’re not going out of business. And I doubt if they are.
But, they seldom telegraph such if they are. Some big giant company may have bought them up—that might be. Again, hopefully not.
@Blueberry Maybe your system has been hacked too. I ran my antivirus software and upgraded (a little) to block hackers that redirect you to fake sites. I am able to go to their site just fine now. Thanks, everyone for your help solving the issue!
@jaypeedee What antivirus software are you running?
I have looked at their site before but never ordered. You have given me some confidence in them.
