We bought 6 trees from Perfect Plants and they came looking almost perfect. A few of the blooms were starting to fade but thats was ok due to time of the year. Very straight trunks and nicely shaped branches.

Bought one of these for a special spot in my landscape. It’s winter so it arrived without leafs as expected. I did the bark scratch test to prove it was alive, which it was. About 4ft tall with not much branching but I know it will grow in the spring months.

Penny, thank you for purchasing and reviewing the Limelight Hydrangea tree. Your tree will turn out big and beautiful. Hope you love it!
