Not sure if it will make it.

Upon receipt, the tree was watered and carefully placed in the greenhouse kept at a steady 76°F with 10 hours of 40% light. It has lost leaves and the edges of remaining leaves are looking damaged. I wanted to give it time to acclimate from travel and am afraid to put it in a new pot due to additional shock.

Came broken

The box did not have a right side up sticker on it, and so u p s delivered it upside down, which then made it so that all of the branches and stem was broken. I submitted pictures and an email to have a replacement tree Sent and was refused. I have ordered multiple things from this company. So I am very disappointed that they let me down on this one.Considering how much business I have given them.
