I understand the need to remove all of the soil before they ship, but why the roots as well? If they wash the soil away, dip the roots in a fungicide/insectice mix and then wrap the roots in some moisture retentive media that should do it. How do they expect the plant to survive when they remove all of the roots? Good luck with yours, Shawn.
