Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for bringing this to our attention. Our product is dormant, packaged bare root plants intended to be without foliage (leaves) while in the store so it is not abnormal for them to not show growth at the time of purchase. Dormant plants such as these offer the opportunity to jumpstart spring planting because they can be planted in the ground earlier than potted plants. Depending on the climate and weather experienced after planting, this plant could take up to 6 weeks to break dormancy and show signs of growth. However, we apologize that you were unhappy having received a plant with a trunk that was drying out. At DeGroot, we strive to provide high quality plants that have high success rates for the home gardener at fair and reasonable prices. We encourage you to save your receipt and contact us at (269) 468-6714 or [email protected] so we may assist you. Thank you, DeGroot Inc.
