Re: [nafex] Southmeadow status



Dear Yorrba,

I had something of a similar problem with them this past year.  I still have several holes waiting for my trees.  I called them early one morning
around the middle of May and talked to a nice lady who said that my trees had been shipped two weeks ago and that she would reschedule my shipment
for this fall, since their shipping season was over.  We both assumed that the trees got lost by UPS.  Now you have me worried.  I hope I get my
trees this fall.

Regards,
Steve Dulaney
