"We ordered two 3 gallon windmill palm trees (Trachycarpus fortunei) for shipment to Maine. We received an e-mail to track the shipping. They arrived in great shape, really nice, healthy plants. The pots were wrapped in heavy, clear plastic bags tied with jute ties and the boxes were filled with biodegradable corn starch peanuts. We're going to grow them in containers outdoors for the summer. We compared prices and plant sizes with a lot of other palm tree nurseries and this company provided much larger plants at a competitive price. Highly recommended." Southport, Maine
