Ah yes, I now remember the liquid copper fungicide threads from a few years back. They were good reads and might have helped me form my belief that eventually we will find something to coat open wood in trees with. Also, a proper pruning cut is really not going to be much trouble on most trees if we let nature take its course. I worry about the large open wounds that stay open for a half a decade or in some cases that will not be encapsulated any time soon. My neighbor pruned off a whole half of a fifty foot tall silver maple. I don't know if it will ever seal off the two foot across wound. Just watching him treat the wood in his deck so it does not rot and split next to the splitting / rotting / rain grabbing hole in the maple gets me thinking. Also, the SAME silly tree has encapsulated an old rusty metal fence post with seemingly no ill effects, so I get thinking about treatments. I would contend Shigo and CODIT are seem focused on small wounds and are not forward thinking scientifically. Not necessarily wrong, but that open maple seems to have a near 100% chance of rotting from its base under that terrible wound.

Feedback can be decieving, some people just don't know what to expect. I have also adopted a policy. When I sell something I post the seller feedback just before I send the item out. If I purchase something I WILL NOT post feedback until I have mine. I have actually had sellers tell me they will post my feedback after they receive theirs. Since I think buyer feedback is pretty much useless anyway I send them a nice little form e-mail that states how I feel about it. Its like they are holding back the buyers feedback so if the buyer isn't happy and leaves negative or even neutral feedback they can retaliate, which is wrong. Thanks for the tip on toolhaus.org, I'll have to check that out. My box showed up, and everything is nice, exactly as stated, I am pleased. Actually there is a another box coming tomorrow with elfin and mo pepper please another bonus plant and some more seedling pups. he sent Neo princess lea, and a pup of a seedling as a bonus. I have to load the pics to photobucket and resize them. I'll post them later. One of the pups of cheers is getting ready to bloom, I'll bring home pollen from Alexes house on Monday if I can find any I want to use. I looked today, and the seller that burned me on the white feather hostas put in the disclaimer. I decided I'm going to put mine in my e-bay store with the title WHITE FEATHER HOSTA Buyer Beware at $50.00, and it will come up in any searches. I'll post photos of the green plants, won't tell anyone who sold them to me, but that most of what is out there is Tissue Cultured junk from Holland that is unstable and unreliable. There is one seller that actually grows the plant, and his photos are probably are what the plant really looks like. It'll cost me 6 cents a month to keep it in the store with a gallery photo. People have been paying $20.00 and more for a 1 eye division. I saw one sell for $36.00. I feel sorry for them.

I am holding 3 checks from these scams. I just played along to see how far they would go. I was selling a carpet stretcher for $100 and they sent me a bank check for $3,000. They said the extra was for shipping (shipping cost would have been around $75). Of course I was supposed to send the extra of $2,900 back to them by western union so they could pay for the shipping:-) After playing this game 3 times I quit. I figured that with with my email address they might be able to do all kinds of things. Anyway, the advice was right. If they offer to send you more money than you are asking for....it's a scam.

Dave1812, are you the owner of Samsung because you are critical of everybody and defend the products right away? Let me tell you that I will never buy anything from Samsung ever again. We bought a WA456 and the matching dryer less than 3 years ago. I've had 2 service calls on the washer, the first one being the badly designed drain pump bracket breaking and having water all over my floor. The washer was under warranty so they replaced it with the same bad design. They have since changed that part for the pump to bolt up to the frame of the washer but I'm out of luck since they didn't have a recall on it and my washer is no longer under warranty. The 2nd service call was for a wire off the motor, another very common problem with these washers. And now I have a washer that just takes up space because it will power on but will not start when I press the start button. I can't find much info on that issue other than my main control board could be bad. 3 issues in less than 3 years from a brand new washer is unacceptable to me. I spent almost $1700 for this set and at times it doesn't work and I'm hauling laundry to the laundromat. Now I have to pay for an extended warranty to Samsung for them to come out and fix their piece of crap again. Absolutely ridiculous!!!
