Customer Notice for Live Plants

Live plants may experience normal shipping stress such as leaf loss, yellowing, wilting, or minor branch damage.

Please consider local weather before purchasing. Extreme heat, freezing temperatures, severe weather, shipping delays, or unattended packages may increase plant stress.

• Photos of the shipping box

Dormant, stressed, defoliated, wilted, or transit-shocked plants are not automatically considered dead.
