This listing is for one tree that ranges in size between 6 and 8 inches.
The tree you will receive will be between these ranges of size as there will be slight differences from the photos in the listing as no two plants are the same. They will be guaranteed vibrant and healthy and ready for transplanting. We do not ship with the pot as the pot allows for too much soil moisture evaporation. It will be securely adhered to the package wall for the safest shipping method possible.

We warrantee and represent that the Plants are as described in the above listing. Every plant is different. There will be variations in size but always within the parameters that are established in the body of the listing. The quality will always be represented to the fullest.
Plants are alive and can be affected in all sorts of ways during shipping. The shipping process will undoubtedly be the most stressful situation that the plant will go through. We do everything possible to make sure the quality of the plants do not suffer during a stressful shipment. Once they are received they need immediate care. Their roots need air, and their soil watered. Do not subject the plant to direct light, allow a 12 to 24 hours adjustment period. Transplant shock is a real thing. Be aware of it and take steps to alleviate it.
