Yay, Nancy!!!! So happy for you!

That’s very exciting!! I was tempted to grab a few others that just came back in stock, but reason prevailed. I decided to not get caught up in the adrenaline.

Make you post pictures when you get it.

Nancy, congratulations on your new acquisition.

By the way, my plumeria is growing big, beautiful leaves like crazy. Can't wait to see it bloom. Is there a time of year that they bloom?

Happy you got your order in on time, Nancy! :)

Four Winds receives numerous phone calls and emails daily from customers and potential customers, that ask the same questions repeatedly and many are asking when a certain variety and size of tree will be back in stock. I have no doubt that the receptionist, whom politely answers the phone and emails daily and helps place the orders etc., only knows what is currently in stock by going to the website. She has no idea when a out of stock variety will be on the availability list again or when it will become available in stock in the future, or what is even at the growing grounds @FW. She will give a customer any answer to satisfy their questions (regarding stock) and get off the phone. I have been duped before by her answers, regarding stock just as you. It is frustrating! I have sent an email directly to upper management and usually get an honest and quick reply pertaining to those questions. Normally someone in management needs to contact the 2 separate growing grounds to see what is or will be available.

Thank you Jinnylea. Makes sense that they are inundated with calls about availability, and that they can't be accurate about future plans. But how you are able to email upper management there? Are you asking the same kind of question that you would guess come from general customers? You have some Four Winds magic! :-)

PacNorWreck. I'd be very upset in your shoes. Keeping fingers crossed they sold you one before the supply ran out.

Vlad- if kept outside and in sunshine April- Sept, they can really bloom anytime from about April till October. Some people even still have inflos when getting ready to put them down for dormancy in the late fall.

Lol, Nancy! No FW magic! ;)

Hee-hee Jinnylea. FW has earned my trust again with the last two they sent. Previous two never made it. But I feel so badly about people like PacNorWreck. I really would have missed the ST if Kelley had not sent out an alert. Maybe those who are on waiting lists can exchange texts the next time a desired plant comes online!

Jenny, as you already know it's a real good sign that you had an inflo. Hopefully you'll get a bloom this year :-) You might think of a bigger pot for your plumeria too but that's prob already in your plans.

About this time of year being the worst....it always seems to be but perhaps Four Winds is being more choosy. I got a beautiful Gold Nugget in early February, and know someone else who was just delivered a lovely ST. This year anyway I'd not have any qualms about buying in March from FW- at least some trees ;-)

Hopefully the weather will cooperate in the next 30 days so that my order can actually ship :/

Lucky, I gambled and had them go ahead and ship mine last week (from 2/2 order). It survived just fine all the way to Atlanta via FedEx ground. They weren’t going to ship within the thirty day hold, so I took my chances, and I’m glad I did. Looks like the weather may improve enough in the next week or two. Fingers crossed for you :)

It does look good in about a week, as long as the package takes a southern route. I'm glad yours arrived safely!
