United StatesHoping it Recovers
My crape Myrtle arrived with curled leaves and dried out. I placed it in a big pot and watered immediately. After 2 weeks it is still fighting to recoup from what must have been a hot shipping experience. I just hope it survives.

The trees arrived in perfect condition. I believe I will love these new crepe myrtles. So far they are doing well. I lost 4 crepe myrtles from hurricane Ida and these will replace them. I believe these will be more beautiful. Thank you for the healthy trees you’re growing.

United StatesTry avoiding orders during summer
Plants came in really quickly, gave 4 stars because the box wasn’t long enough and bent the top of one of the trees. Two top small branches were damaged but the tree overall looks good and some flowering is showing. Had ordered a Japanese maple as well. Next time I order from this online nursery or any other will try to order during early spring because the leaves on the trees were drying or but that’s because of how hot it’s been. If the tress grow healthy will definitely order from here again.
