    Fantastic

    I am extremely impressed both with the health of the Oak saplings and the service extended to me by Eden of Wings and it's owner, Guy. Delivery to the Mid Atlantic was scheduled to avoid any unforeseen delays en-route over the busy Thanksgiving holiday weekend. The trees arrived quickly soon after in a carefully packed carton. The entire experience was like day and night compared to earlier regretful purchases from some larger nurseries. So, Eden of Wings is now at the top of my speed dial list. (Assuming that is still a thing !)
