Awesome!
Bought a 3-gallon windmill palm tree that arrived 3 days after ordering. It was so full, the fronds were overflowing out one of the cut out 'handles' on the box. Packaging was secure and the tree measured 23 inches tall from the top of the dirt. We're in Grow Zone 7b, so being cold hardy was critical. This is our third purchase from My Perfect Plants. After disappointment from some other online nurseries, Perfect Plants gets all our business from now on.
