| 2009-10-11 | Jenna | 8 | 6 | 6 | 10 | Yes | Everything was done well, except some sort of explanation would have been nice re: how to tell whether tree came from the same rootball. (Especially crucial, as the answer re: what to do next hinges of my understanding of this issue.) |

| 2009-08-14 | Jan | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Thank you, Diana, I was afraid that might be the answer for my existing system. I will certainly seek out local water suppliers about the storage issue! |

| 2009-08-07 | Shirley | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you. Diana. The articl;e on letting it get "bone dry" was on this venue. My tag on the plant said water every day. It is in a pot and outdoors. I will go water. |

| 2009-07-28 | connie | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | Unfortunately... the boss is female, but the same does apply to her. It was either going home with me or she said she could take it home and that she had plenty of room. No way Jose. Thanks for the humor and tips. |

| 2009-07-26 | Deborah | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Diana, Thank you so very very much. My windows face tall bushes and trees which pretty much brush up against the building, so it's possible the aphids hitchhiked into the house. I will definitely follow your advice and keep the plants misted, and will watch out for new bugs. You're the best. Gratefully, Deborah |
