So far so good. Planted and it looks happy.
When the plant was shipped the leaves were yellow and I was concerned. But I think the box just got too hot during shipment because it's green and healthy. 2 weeks later I got i green leaves, new growth and recently started to flower. Everglades farms is officially my go to for tropical plants.

My daughter in law, who is Thai, loves the tree. She planted it and is waiting to see it to grow beautiful and productive.
