The plants arrived in excellent condition and well hydrated. I will move them into the sunshine today and prepare to transplant them to larger pots this weekend

Great little trees!

I ordered two sets of the banana bundle and both arrived well packaged and in great condition. I will say the double mahoi seems to be a bit more tender than the other two, both mine and the one my mother planted have been a bit dramatic, though they show signs of recovering. The other two have stayed healthy through the transition!
