It's not nurseryman bashing to want to know in advance what you're
paying for. I usually try to order just a couple not too expensive
items from a new place to see what I get, and judge from there if I
want to do further business with them. Also find the Hostafinder or
Green Pages very useful. If I see someone selling a plant well
below everyone else's price I assume it's a young tc, then it's up to me
if I want to "go cheap" and take a chance or pay the higher price.
