Choosing Plants:
Remember these tips on plant selection:

• Bigger is not always better. Plants in smaller containers will rapidly catch up to their larger, more expensive counterparts.
  
• Select plants that have fleshy white roots. Make sure there are no circling roots or roots coming out of the bottom of the container.
  
• Be sure there is nothing growing on the surface of the soil, such as weeds or mold.
  
• Inspect the stems or trunk for any injuries.
  
• Take an overall look at the plant and make sure the leaves do not look discolored or drought stressed.
