"Very very nice plant!! I ordered a Sago Palm from Ecolage and it showed up very well packed with those white peanuts. Those... I could have done without, but I guess they do save the plant. Mine showed up in mint condition - a very nice sago palm. These are usually pawned off with lousy small sizes at real expensive prices. The one I received is a very nice sized one in real good condition. Thanks!!!!... will be ordering from these folks again!" Santa Margarita, California
