Not sure if this was supposed to come with the basket in the picture, but it didn't. It says "in Pot", and it is in a pot as you can see in the pic...so I won't complain. I'll just buy something bigger to put it in. Overall, I'm happy with this purchase. The box was beat up and partially opened when it arrived, but the tree was still in good shape. Once I bent the palm leaves, it  looked just like the picture. Would definitely recommend.
