If any of you have ever bought nursery stock mail order, and are anything like me, you've probably been disappointed when your tiny plant arrived. I have almost always felt a little ripped off because of that. Anyway, I bought a rose of sharon from ebay, which sounded like it might be something that I could actually use. The shrub that arrived was a beautifully branched over 5' tall after planting, 3/4" stem. I thought that it was such a good deal, that I have ordered another one. He has 3 left and if anyone needs one I recomend these.
