🌱 Bilimbi Tree: Essential Steps for Successful Growth and Care
I would never buy another tree from Everglades farm. They sent the crappiest tree and they cut the top off to fit it in a smaller box. When I complained, they said that they measure the tree from the bottom of the pot so if you order a 3 foot tree and a 3 gallon pot you really getting a 2 foot tree that could be less than a year old. Order your plant from other Florida nurseries that are run by individuals or families do not buy from Everglades farm.
Dead plants, and they are not helping me with this order I email
Them and they have not reply to me
Plant was dry up when it came to my house
I have bought two of these. The first one arrived in poor condition and just could not get it to bounce back so I ordered a second one which arrived in good condition. However, it is struggling too.
The plant in the pictures looks vigorous, healthy and full of life. What I got, was a stick with a couple branches at the top. Planted in a very muddy cheap soil, it never dries back! The plant has severe visible root rot damage. Not worth what was paid, at all.
