I just wished that sellers would have enough sense to wrap them with a bag with moss, or something to keep them moist during the trip, and be knowledgeable in what they sell. <br /><br />I do have lots of space to grow as many peonies as I want to. I also need to tread carefully through these vendors since they may have never shipped plants before.

Plus these still had quite a bit of dust/dirt on them when they arrived. I hope that helps keep some moisture in. Now that they've soaked for a while, the dirt should be rinsed off so I can check them out a little closer. I am curious to see which ones will grow. I hope something does!!!<br /><br />AdrianaAdrianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00562979165630642210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6218647513521394317.post-44030922370796616632013-10-15T07:01:12.963-04:002013-10-15T07:01:12.963-04:00Steve,

So I hope that'll help. :-)<br /><br />Keep me posted on your massive import. You must have lots of land to grow massive amounts of tree peonies on. Or maybe you're just figuring only a small percent will survive...<br /><br />AdrianaAdrianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00562979165630642210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6218647513521394317.post-80365135285029138722013-10-13T08:23:15.394-04:002013-10-13T08:23:15.394-04:00The ones with short roots look promising! The one...The ones with short roots look promising! The one with long root and short stem looks like the woody stem grafted onto the root stock was cut off too short. It does not look like there are viable eyes/buds on the stems. I would be interested to find out what happens with this root. The plants with long stems and short roots look like they have been grafted too. You can see the graft junction where the woody stem meshed with the root, usually a joint of two diagonal cuts. Though these are better in that there are more woody tree part with hopefully more viable more vialble tree budsf.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00565098681258639367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6218647513521394317.post-20781463888458213712013-10-12T11:53:33.879-04:002013-10-12T11:53:33.879-04:00If they are dry to the point where they are fragil...If they are dry to the point where they are fragile, I doubt there will be any life. <br /><br />I intend to do a massive import from China from a phytosanitary approved vendor with the minimal order on each species I want, hoping they don't require me to get like 1000 or something crazy on each species.
