Please Note

Live plants naturally vary in branching, shape, and seasonal appearance. Deciduous trees may arrive without leaves during their dormant season. This is a normal part of their growth cycle and does not mean the plant is unhealthy.

Allow your tree time to acclimate after delivery before making major changes to its growing conditions.
