Absolutely love this tree! It is stunning in person. It looks very real! Packaged simply, but well protected. It also arrived ahead of schedule which was a welcome surprise. I feel like it does need to be put into a more substantial pot than it comes in. But, the size of its connected pot makes it very easy to set it right inside your preferred plant holder. Such a compliment to my dining room corner, Im thrilled with it! I only wish it would have come one foot taller, because I definitely would love another one a little taller.
