When package was delivered the UPS person had me open it while he waited because it sounded as though there were broken pieces inside.  The pot was cracked and the small stones were everywhere.  I was planning on using a more appropriate pot since I new the one this tree comes with is extremely small and cheap.  However, I love the tree itself.  Very easy to adjust branches.  Not as full as it appears in picture, but I did not want too full for what I was using for.
