Customer Reviews
The only reason I’m giving two stars is because it is still alive. It started losing leaves before it even arrived. It’s a small grafted twig. Hopefully I can keep it alive.
I received a 1 Gallon plant in a 3 Gallon container. Great variety but should be priced at 1 Gallon prices. The plant was soo small, it made the 1 Gallon mango plant I received from them look huge. Honestly disappointed because with Shipping this is a hundred dollar grafted plant!
