Mopar, it is unfortunate that your life is so wretched. I suppose writing such hostile posts offers your empty soul some sort of twisted satisfaction. You should try spreading happiness, not your misery, around and perhaps you’ll feel better–heard of karma? Also, didn’t your mama ever teach you any manners? If you don’t have something nice to say, button up your lips/bite your tongue/keep it to yourself. Lastly, it also may be that your neighborhood (BedStuy) is affecting your outlook. It must be hard to have to constantly worry about crime. Maybe you should try to move to a different area if you can afford it. Best of luck to you!
KTG: I was not speaking out of my hat. I am a Master Gardener, Master Pruner, Master Composter, founder and manager of a community garden, and a docent at a public garden. Most nurseries (including Home Depots I have used) DO guarantee their plants. The price of $11 per shrub is not different from retail on sale (as in July). A small bush that has not been traumatized by being dug up will overtake these in a season. I have transplanted many shrubs in my day. It takes knowledge and strength to do it in a way that does not damage the roots. There are many sources of free and inexpensive high quality plant material, which I should one day describe at length in a post. Here’s just one tip for shrubs like the ones being offered: Rockefeller Center changes its displays regularly…
Here’s another good one: If you check your lot line, you may realize that the city owns a nice portion of your yard. You can “donate” a tree to the city by making a tax deductible contribution to the non-profit that plants street trees (Trees NY? – name escapes at the moment).
Giving plants away always rewards you in spades 🙂 They come back in divisions of perennials, overgrown shrubs, bulbs, compost, vegetables, bouquets. Not to mention the joy of seeing your plants thrive in a neighbor’s yard. I apologize for seeming harsh. I should have simply said welcome to the gardening community. More than $45 in rewards awaits you!
They look like weeds to me. Plus it’s odd to be selling them instead of giving them away. Unless, of course, you dug them out of someone else’s garden.
Ouch, Manhattanite!
Magnanimous? Ksquared is too kind.
It seams like a pretty good price to me. If they didn’t go to someone else, I would have taken all of them. Have you ever prices plants, or do you like being obnoxious? Have you ever gone anywhere they have plants? They tend to live in garden centers just fine. Dug up or not.
I have transplanted all year long and it works fine. Do you guys know anything? GUYS…stop being Obnoxious!
Thanks for your helpful comments. Manhattanite, it seems that you may have mistaken my post–we were selling 4 bushes for $45 ($11.25/bush), which seems quite reasonable to me. Where do you find guaranteed plants? Great idea about the community garden–the world would be such a wonderful place if everyone could be as magnanimous and privileged as you!
Friends claimed the dogwoods (shown in the photo), which seem to have survived the transplant fine. We realized that time was limited for them out of the ground, thus the “as soon as possible” request in my original post.
second that emotion: july is a terrible time to transplant shrubs. they are unlikely to survive if you leave them dug up like that for long.
green guerillas might be able to find them a good home:

Seconding Manhattanite. It’s certainly risky to transplant in the heat of summer. Why did they come out in the first place?
Your price is ridiculous for a dug up, unguaranteed shrub in the middle of summer! Donate it to a community garden!
