Thought I had been shipped a dead plant. Still not sure if it is going to grow.
Arrived on schedule in good shape. Gave it a good drink, will plant in ground later.
Plant came damaged since it was packed with the fertilizer, and idk if it’s going to survive, it dropped most of its leafs and branches, hoping it will make it, if it doesn’t then it’s $60 down the drain, just wished it was packed better
Great healthy plant, fast shipping, came in very protective packaging. Thank you!
Two years ago I bought 2 ciruela trees- 3 feet tall. Since I live in Texas and some winters get chilly I planted them in my greenhouse. Now they are big and healthy even though a year ago they got a little damaged from the cold because my heater went off. This year they surprised me with fruits, what a joy. Now I don’t have to buy expensive ciruelas online like I used to. Thank you!
