## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A conversation starter on my front porch!
*by C***N on April 20, 2019*

This arrived carefully packaged. I was surprised at the size - larger than I expected. I planted per instructions and it has lots of leaves and looks great. Some leaves are dark green and some are more lime green and coral bark. I live in Houston so have it on my front porch so that it only gets partial sun. Enjoy watching it grow.

### ⭐ Damage product, disapproved purchase
*by H***E on March 6, 2020*

I did not approve of this purchase when I first bought it asked for it to be canceled so that didn’t happen so when I got it the tree was damage it was cracked the top part of the tree was broken off.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Not 3-year plant, only 6" tall from dirt up
*by S***U on March 20, 2020*

It's too small to be 3-year old plant, only 6" tall from the soil up, and it has a tape wrapped around the graft part. The trunk is a bit thicker than toothpick.Update: I changed the rating from one star to three star because it looks like a good specie. Over the winter the bark shows pretty red color better than other same trees I have.
