United StatesWonderful. The instructions were lost when California Ag inspection opened the boxes. and we were concerned because some of the leaves had brown spots and holes. Customer service, both on the phone and email, was excellent. They requested we send them photos, and they reassured us that the spots were of no concern. We planted 20 plants in one day and three weeks later they are all doing well. Thank you.
United StatesWe bought 70 Skip Laurels from FastGrowingTrees. They arrived promptly and in good shape. The straps that secured the individual boxes (2 trees each) had come loose but that is more on FedEx. We are very pleased with the experience. It won’t be the last one with this company. I wanted to attach a couple of pics but I cannot figure out how to do it from the phone
United StatesHaven’t planted them yet, waiting for spring. Don’t anticipate any problems because they are a hardy plant and arrived in excellent shape.
United StatesI ordered 4 skip laurels and was so pleased with them I ordered 8 more. It’s amazing how they come shipped in a box with no damage.
United StatesEverything was good from start to finish.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: First, select a location with well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade – any area with about 4 to 6 hours of sunlight should suffice. When you’re ready to plant, dig a hole that’s about three times the width of your plant’s root ball, and place your plant.
2. Watering: Once established, your Skip Laurel is relatively drought-tolerant, but it’s important to have a regular watering schedule for the first few growing seasons. Water about once weekly or check the surrounding soil about 2 or 3 inches down.
