I would give a 10! The shipping took a little bit of time. The plant was in excellent condition and bigger than I thought it would be. Incredible company. Beautiful plant in beautiful shape

My legend of the small arrived very healthy and in good condition from the shipping. It has some growing to do, but it is doing well now. I am anxious to see their fall colors.

Plants came very well packaged and in excellent condition. Had them for a while now and they’re doing fine. I can’t wait until I see their fall color.
