Everglades Farm - Caution for Buyers

I purchased trees from Everglades Farm two weeks ago, but I'm still waiting to see if they will survive. Unfortunately, my order arrived a week late, and the trees had been sitting in a sealed box at the Opa-locka distribution center, which caused all the leaves to fall off by the time they reached me. I'm waiting patiently, but I'm not very optimistic. Be cautious when shopping online, especially if you're relying on timely shipping.

Ciruela

The tree arrived in good condition and was well packaged. I made a mistake of prematurely bringing it outside in considerable heat and it withered. That is on me. I ordered another one from you guys with the hope that I will know better this time.
