Unbelievably impressed
I ordered more than I needed because I assumed that for the price and that they were Boeing shipped that I would have some imperfect plants. They were all perfect. Well
Packaged. Still moist soil when they arrived. And the price … amazing. I couldn’t be happier.

Very healthy, good sized plant
I received my 2.5 qt sky pencil hollys, packed well, amply moist. Listing said they would be 12-24 inches tall and I was excited to see mine were just a tad over 24 inches tall. One concern about the listing- It states the Sky Pencil Holly is good in zones 5-9, when received the tag says 6-9. I typically chose plants one zone colder than my own (6) to ensure a confident growing/thriving success. I don't know who is responsible for this difference of information, but it should be corrected.

arrived intact
We ordered two for our deck pots. I was anxious about ordering sight unseen. The two plants were nicely packaged and arrived safely. I think advertising the plant “average” height at 18” says little about what one receives. Our plants are 14 and 13 inches tall- so we were not the lucky ones to get the 21/22” tall plants. I dont think anything taller would ship in the box used.

Came in looking good
Overall the two plants are looking healthy good. I recommend buying was at a good price 13 each. Wished I have bought more. Shipping was fast. I have no regrets at the moment.

Plants came healthy
Personally, I enjoy buying the plants at the HD nursery, unfortunately there wasn’t any available. Took a chance online and am very pleased w/the delivery and how well the plants look from the package. Both plants had a plastic cover for the base and to help contain the soil. Soil was still moist, and the sky pencils look great.

6 out 8 died over the winter
purchased online. Delivered by UPS on a hot day last July and left on driveway in full sun. Planted that evening. Plants did very well last summer through winter, green leaves. Spring arrived and 6 out of the 8 died, brown leaves falling off. The return policy, fertilizer must be purchased at same time for a warranty. was never suggested at check out. Go local, same pricing in season and better warranty on plants. 3 other Sky Pencil Japanese Holly ( from local nursery ) are doing very well
