    Not happy.

    The tree arrived in poor condition. I followed all planting and care instructions. The tree has sadly passed away. I have sent two emails to this company in regard to this matter and I have received no response whatsoever. All I’m asking for is for the tree to be replaced at no charge, but I can’t even get anyone to answer my email.

    I am very disappointed in not only the tree being non-viable, but in the fact that there is apparently no customer service to be had. I do not recommend purchasing from this company.
