Thomcord Seedless Grape Vine One Gallon Plant Review

Thomcord Seedless Grape Vine One Gallon Plant

Note: This review is for the 5 gal size...I ended up buying three of these 5 gal grapes to crawl up my new column folly. They arrived very well packed, in healthy condition, and if anything, taller than described. I later had reason to call the nursery direct and found them to be very helpful and willing to walk out to find me a specific plant out in their lot. Having a lot of nurseries in the local area, and with grapes grown all around, I initially felt silly buying a vine online but this was the only place I could find the plants I wanted at the size I wanted - and it turned out to be the right answer! I highly recommend this product and Clifton's nursery.

Thomcord is a seedless grape developed from two of America's favorites--Concord, of peanut butter and jelly sandwich fame, and Thompson Seedless, a summertime classic--both are proud parents of a grape variety that you just got to try. Enjoy blue-black skin with whitish bloom and bold flesh color of the Concord, plus a pleasing Concord like flavor that's lightened by the sweet, mild taste of its Thompson parent. The fruit on the Thomcord is slightly firmer than Concord. Fruit ripens late July through mid August. Cold hardy to USDA zone 7 and probably zone 6. Shipped as a potted one gallon plant in its original soil and container.

Prickly Pear Cactus 15 Seeds-Opuntia ficus Review

Prickly Pear Cactus 15 Seeds-Opuntia ficus

(More customer reviews)
This seller is a liar. I said in a review that the shipping was to expensive for the terrible quality of the seeds. Four broken dead seeds you could get for free from outside, which they did. Not a real packaged guaranteed seed company...and this is what they said "i saw the bad feedback. the extra shipping charge is for the tracking info. when i sell on amazon, i have to have it or i dont get paid.please consider removing the bad feedback when you get a chance, it would really mean alot to me " if that's the case how does anyone with free shipping ever get paid? How do sellers who don't provide tracking information get paid? They didn't even end the email with their name and/or a closing message. How rude and unprofessional! Don't buy from them...their product is a rip off and bad quality and they are incompetent!! And... Who cares if that would mean alot to them? A better product and professional customer service would mean alot to me, and I didn't get that so why should they? I wish I could leave negative stars!

CACTUS: Cactus, the common name for a family of desert plants. The plural is cacti or cactuses. Most species bear sharp, needlelike spines, which protect the plants from foraging desert animals. Cacti are famed for their ability to resist drought, which they owe to the fact that moisture from inside the plant evaporates very slowly through the plant's skin.
Cacti grow in hundreds of different shapes. The fibrous, juicy stems may be globular, cylindrical, branched, trailing and vinelike, ribbed, grooved, or knob-bearing. Only two species have true leaves. The rest of the 2,000 species are leafless.
The Prickly Pear cactus can grow up to 15 feet high. With fleshy stems in the form of paddles, the cactus is covered in prickles that are actually leaves reduced to minimum size in order to retain water. The fruit, which is very sweet, succulent, and good to eat, originates from spectacular, large flowers that appear at the beginning of summer. Grow in well drained rocky/sandy soil. Water thoroughly, then let dry for several weeks, outside in the ground or in large containers, before watering again. While the Prickly Pear is hardy in zones 8 to 10, farther north it can be container grown for many years and brought indoors for the winter. It makes an excellent house plant in a sunny window. The cactus' large pads are used in Mexico as "nopales" or "nopalitos tiernos" for the young pads, or "tunas" for the large yellow-red fruits. Nopales make a very good salad. Cut the young tender pads "nopalitos tiernos" into strips, being sure first to cut away the spines. Mix with chopped onions, chopped chives or green onions, chopped chiles such as jalapenos or serranos, chopped garlic, oregano, and a little salt. Toss with a couple dashes of lime juice, a little olive oil and red wine vinegar, and chill before serving.
