Very healthy seedling

It had been very hard finding the red variety of sugar apple and Everglades farm had it. It arrived very well packaged,the leaves were a bit sad but around this time of year it's normal. It's in my greenhouse at the moment and doing great. I'm loving my tree and looking forward to the fruit.🙃

Red Sugar Apple Arrived Healthy and Well

The plant arrived healthy with a lot of green leaves. Unfortunately, even after week 3, a couple of leaves are still falling. However, a couple of leaves are also sprouting. I'll keep an eye on it and will leave it alone for a few more weeks before switching to a bigger pot.

Trees seem ok but great customer service

Got 2 trees, they arrived in well packaged but they shredded leaves little bit. One tree was a foot shorter than advertised so I contacted the customer service, they promptly credited me some money WITHOUT HASSLES. So I am very impressed and pleased that they take care of business.
The trees seem to be ok at the moment. I kept them in garage in southern CA for about a week and just transplanted them in bigger planters, under patio with indirect sunlight for now. Will see how they recover. I have bought trees from them before, consistently well packaging and healthy trees.

Can I grow this tree in a container?

Most fruit trees can be grown in a container.  Follow the recommendations below... 

  1. Start small with a tree in a 3 or 7 gallon container 
  2. Every 6-10 months transplant the tree to a higher capacity container 
  3. The ideal container size to grow fruit trees is 10-15 gallons, so you can move it indoors during the winter months, if necessary 
  4. Make sure your container has draining  holes on the bottom of the container, so that any excess water can drain
How to plant this tree on the ground...

Follow the simple instructions below to plant your tree on the ground... 

  1. Choose a sunny area for planting with about 15 feet radius of clear space 
  2. Dig a hole on the ground... twice the height of the container, if possible 
  3. Do not mix any potting soil, manure, fertilizer or anything with the soil when you plant
  4. Take the tree out of the container by laying in the side and slipping the container off, if may be necessary to push and tap the bottom of the plastic container 
  5. It is usually necessary to put some of the removed dirt back into the hole
  6. Bury the root ball so the soil level is the same as it was in the container 
  7. Leave a mound around the tree for form a basin, fill with water, washing the soil into any empty pockets around the root ball
  8. Now is the time to fertilize. Be extra careful because trees are very susceptible to burning with excessive fertilizing
  9. Recommended fertilizer: 8-3-9 (or similar), with manganese, iron and zinc. Scatter one level tablespoon per foot of tree height (do not apply fertilizer if the tree is flowering or during cold spells of temperature below 60 degrees)
  10. You can spread mulch around the base of the tree, but leave the trunk area uncovered so the tree can breath. Mulch helps to retain humidity
