Fast grow arborvitae trees
The trees I ordered came ahead of schedule. They looked bright green bright green and ready to be planted. I am excited to see what next spring brings
Nice Shrubs
Our shrubs arrived in great condition. Due to the very hot summer, I am watering them daily. All have survived and are thriving. As explained, they are growing their roots this year, so their height hasn’t increased much, but they are getting more stable and gaining new growth. I would purchase again.
All trees doing well
The trees arrived in a crazy spring heat wave. It was almost 100 degrees when I planted them, and they had a rough time for a week. The first month they looked a little discolored and droopy, but they made a full recovery and look great now in August. All 20 trees look strong. Now I'll see if they survive the winter.
Can’t wait to see these trees grow
A neighbor recommended this website and when I saw this arborvitae I had to purchase a few. It took a few days to deliver but they looked great out of the box. Planted them as directed and looking forward to see how fast they grow.
