Good experience from beginning to end arrived safely wrapped and in good condition. It was while trying to leave a good review that the judge me site, I accidentally pressed the next button and it would not let me go back to finish my review. But my small beach trees, anround 1ft tall, arrived perfect and I can’t believe I already have leaves appearing, which virtually came out the next day ofter planting. .
After reading mixed reviews i was a little worried about ordering from this company, but they were the perfect small size as i was planting them in between established trees so would have been difficult to dig a large hole for a large plant.
Great price, safe quick delivery.... will definately use again
