Excellent!
Jun 14, 2022 | By A. Gardner
My first fruit cocktail tree showed up and grew well but only one graft had taken. Contacted Burgess and they replaced it with a new tree. The second tree was fabulous. Right out of the box, all 5 grafts were already growing. Great root system. And larger than the first tree. I have bought several plants and trees from Burgess and overall, I am extremely pleased with their product and especially their service.
Will order again. Great root structure.

Normally I would wait to review my order but I ordered one of these and when it finally arrived, only 1 graft was viable. The tree itself was hardy for its size and had well established roots. I was impressed overall and hoped the other grafts would take. They did not. I suspect the damage to the tree came from a delay by Fedex. It wouldn't be the first time.
When I contacted Burgess customer service, they replaced the tree and it was shipped within 24 hours of the reorder. For this reason alone, I am giving them 5 stars. Even if Fedex kills this one too. Burgess has great deals on some very healthy plants. Their trees aren't huge. You get what you pay for. If you are a patient person or on a budget, Burgess will pay off for you big time if you properly care for the plant(s). If you can't delay gratification, use a different company and expect to pay a lot more. I do both. I buy big trees and small from various companies. Burgess usually surprises me.
Heavy producer

We had a Dwarf Fruit Cocktail Tree at our last address & though we didn't get a variety of fruit, in one particular year we picked 30 lbs. of the best plums with minimal care.
Hoping to get similar results this year.
So far so good

I got two of these in early April and watered them several times a week and they are fully leafed out on most if not all grafts. I am optimistic.
Give these trees a chance
May 22, 2022 | By Michelle Sitzes
When I received the tree, it was dormant. Guys, they aren't dead though. I planted it. And faithfully watered it. And around a month later when it started really warming up it came to life. There's leaves all over it. And it's forming branches. I bought these trees at my last home and the same scenario and it grew really fast.I wish I could submit a picture. My only regret is that I didn't order 2
I have branches!
May 15, 2022 | By April Koontz
Roots were a little dry upon arrival. I soaked the roots for about 24 hours and planted. Watered 2x a day for about a week then every rainless day. Tree is looking good! Almost all grafting nubs have sprouted. Looking forward to seeing what it produces.
Tree received.

I received my fruit cocktail tree, stem with grafted buds. It is dormant. I immediatley put in water and will update when the tree puts out leaves.
Two Years and No Bloom
May 7, 2022 | By LORI E TAYLOR
I planted my 'Twig' two years ago and even though it is thriving; it's grown considerably and looks great leaf-wise, there still hasn't been the first bloom on it. I wonder, how long does it take to bloom and bear the first fruit for the first time?
Be prepared to wait for years...

Our first tree did not bud or thrive and we returned it for a replacement, which was handled well by Burgess and I have no complaint about their customer service.
The second tree took root and grew, but it's been about 4 years in zone 8 and we're only now seeing a few flowers on the peach side... nothing but leaves on the other branches. I understand this type of grafted tree can be a problem to maintain, and read that one fruit will dominate and steal nutrients from the other areas, so it may be a nice concept, but in reality, I'd say expect low performance out of a high maintenance plant. You won't likely get 5 different types of fruit, which may explain why there is a drawing of the tree posted in the catalog and not a picture of a tree in full production mode. Prune it regularly to give any fruit that does show up plenty of room to develop. Water deeply 1x/week, but keep ground moist in hottest days of Summer. fertilize 3x/yr
Less Than I Expected
Apr 28, 2022 | By Laura Seymer
I expected to get a small tree with six tiny branches. I got a dormant, bare root 2 1/2 ft stick with six barely visible buds grafted on. After two weeks I now have a leaf sprout from 2 buds. One bud appears dead. There is still hope for the other 3. But I wouldn't buy it again.
Fruity science
Apr 19, 2022 | By Brian Markey
I planted this bizarre tree recently. I ordered 2 of these and when they were delivered to me I was quick to plant.
When you order this tree expect a 'dormant stick' with roots. In order to survive the shipping process, the nursery puts these trees in a deep sleep. Up until now, 5 stars. If it never grows, I'll update accordingly.
Fruit Cocktail tree
Apr 16, 2022 | By pamela coon
i also recently received my fruit cocktail tree, and it's the same as the other review here. they grafted but cut them off. so far it has sprouted 2 of the 6 grafts. i soaked it in water for 4 hours first then planted right away in a protected sunny spot. it has lots of lower sucker looking sprouts near the bottom that will have to be removed, and none of the rest of the grafts are sprouting. i will keep babying it and see if more grafts become active. if not i will be asking for a replacement tree that is actively growing 6 out of 6 grafts like this company said it would.
Incredibly small grafts, not even twigs
Apr 5, 2022 | By Elizabeth
I received a very small tree today (I wasn't expecting something large) but the grafts of other fruit trees were nearly invisible. They simple cut off a growth bud and added a bud of (what I am assuming was) the other tree type. Nothing was labeled. It also arrived without anything to keep its roots even remotely moist, it was in a plastic bag with some blown up plastic cushions to keep it somewhat steady in its box. Some roots were damaged but it looks salvageable. I planted this immediately and am hoping for the best. It passed the scratch test and is still green and living though dormant.
