I was absolutely amazed at how great a shape the plant was in as I have ordered trees online before from another company and was sorely disappointed. I was ecstatic and elated when I opened the box to see such a healthy plant and vibrant tree. Although there was a little browning on the center leaves, it was nothing significant. I don’t think that I could ask for anything better.
