Hi Ned. The seller added this info so it looks like it is really three seedlings in one tiny 2 1/2" pot.


>>CORRECTION ON SIZE OF POT!!!!!
Sorry, I made a mistake when typing in pot size, the pot size is 2 1/4 inches, not 4 1/4 inches. My finger accidentally hit the four instead of the two when listing. The plants will be very small when they arrive, only 3-5" including pot, but will quickly grow.
Once again I am very sorry for this mistake.

On Mar-12-09 at 12:20:41 PDT, seller added the following information:

I would like to add that these trees are not grafted, you will just receive three trees in one pot. <<

I noticed that I could not see my post after I finnished, but I could see that it was there when I tried to edit it. I figure Lazz would fix the problem. Thanks Lazz.

Actually, I posted the link because I was amazed that anyone would actually pay for three little seedlings in a 2 1/2" pot (or in a 4" pot for that matter)! I was also surprised to see that the seller has a 100% approval rating! Maybe that says something about Ebay's rating system.

That is the big problem with E-Bay. On many products, one never really knows for sure what they are actually purchasing. This seller should say that they are 3 separate trees crammed into one tiny container, and that they are SEEDLINGS. Looking at the picture that the seller has posted on his site, you would think it was a cocktail tree. This is why I never buy anything off E-Bay. - Millet (1,406-)

There was a seller a few years ago on Ebay that was constantly selling orange, lemon, lime etc... tress. Turned out what he was selling was trifoliata and calling them different things. You really need to watch what your bidding on. There are also some excellent sellers on Ebay. The thing you really want to do is make sure you are bidding on the product in the photo, not a "like" item.

I have only "purchased" one item off E-Bay, and that was a Citrus book. Actually, I did not purchase it, Lazz bought it and gave it to me. Nice guy that Lazz. - Millet (1,406-)

I was one of the victoms and then after i complained he sent me 2 trees that ended up being Palmello's
Both are doing well.

but it took a long while and to be honest he buys from a nursery .
I believed the seller as i bought alot from him and that was the first bad buy i did but once i told him he made it right.

It took this group to let me know i had no clue I wonder how many people are eating those sour oranges LMAO . OOPS Tammy
