That just means it hasn't been read yet with PMs (not the same as email, which means it hasn't even been sent yet) :)

interesting mate, when you say cheap what are we looking at here, could you compare them to northside for prices? i know its not the done thing but im just trying to get an idea. i will always be loyal to tess, she has looked after me when i have been down there :D

Ive been to that nursery, they had a lot of smaller stock, Which were cheaper than same sizes at Tess's. The owners Have a lot of Tray landscapes using smaller trees. IMHO their single trees dont match up to Tess's.

Even though I cant contribute to names of nurseries in QLD, as a result of this thread I had a look at Tess's website a couple of weeks ago and saw some merchandise which I couldnt get in Sydney.

Whilst obviously never meeting her, I can attest to her customer focus and care - she was a pleasure to converse and deal with and arranged prompt delivery of the 16 large items that I purchased.

Wouldnt hesitate to go back again

Regards
Steve

What's IMHO mean? Is it a new Japanese term perhaps? :lol:

Mate my sister lives two minutes from this nursery and 10 mins from Tess's, every time I go down I visit Tess but I would only go back to the other one to look at there pots. They don't have a bad range of pots, But its pokie and feels somewhat confused.
