Well packaged and tree came in great shape. Trying out the indoor plant and so far seems to managing well with that (not quite as happy as the trees I've put outdoors but it's not as lovely inside as out). Looking forward to seeing fruit although I suppose that might be a next year event.
Tree arrived in excellent shape
The plant was under duress at opening, indicating that improvements are needed here.
There were also some brown spots on 4 of the leaves. I sprayed it down with some baking soda and will be watching it.
Other than that, I hopeful.
Plant arrived ok but I can't say there wasn't concern. On arrival, the box was crushed at one end. The soft pot did get a little deformed but luckily the plant itself was undamaged. Although it was a healthy looking plant with all leaves and branches intact, I was disappointed at the size of the tree. It was nowhere close to the 2-3ft range as described. It was more like 18-20 inches being priced at 2-3ft. You can see the side by side difference between the mango and sweetsop tree. And both were supposed to be 2-3ft according to the description. Aside from that, I am happy that both plants I ordered were healthy plants. Just that unlike the sweetsop tree, the mango tree's height was very disappointing for the price.
So far my tree looks great. I live in the north so I am patiently awaiting a full grown tree
