Synopsis: I had no issue with Mossy oak. Their trees look like they have been taken care of and have a good chance of success.
Long story.
They have reasonable prices for what you're getting. Out of the five trees I bought (red and white oak, two live oaks, and a chestnut) the tallest is a twig live oak about 2.5 feet tall and the shortest is the two branch red oak roughly 10-12". My total with shipping was roughly $35. All the plants are somewhere between 1 and 3 years old.
The packing is well done and the trees were carefully placed. The trees spent about four days in the mail but the tape job done on the soil bag held and I received fully hydrated trees (the Hydrogel probably helped as well).
When ordering you are given the option to pick what day your trees are to be shipped. My order was shipped on the correct day before 10am.
The soil used for the trees is pretty standard potting mix, minus perlite, and both live oaks seemed to be getting close to pot bound (the planters seem to be tall, 1/2 quart size), but to no detriment.
All in all, if you want young nursery stock deciduous trees, Mossy Oak isn't a bad choice.
