I’m so excited!

I was really upset when my order came in; two plants looked fabulous, but this one looked dead. I shot off an email with a photo of my limp tree, and was promptly answered telling me to give it a week. Sure enough, my little tree has popped back to life and looks fabulous! I would recommend this guy!

all raves

The plant was receive very well packaged, was in great shape and looked just like the one in the picture. Don't be fooled by the size of the pot; my plant was a full 19" tall from the level of the dirt, much larger then i expected at this price. This is just the first of many plants I plan on buying from Planet Desert!
