Great Tree
Reviewed By: Chad (Liberty, KY)
When my wife and I bought one of these a few years ago, I lived it, and it seemed to do really well. Then when I had to move the tree to make room for us to build a house, I transplanted it, and it continued to flourish.

Scarlet Maple
Reviewed By: Anita (Plant City, Florida)
I have had my two trees for about a year now. The review I wrote saying I was disappointed was removed. So this is a follow up from that. Its at the end of April and after 2 weeks leaving the water hose constantly running on the trees they have finally sprouted leaves again. They were full of leaves last year but when winter hit the leaves all fell off. I won't be ordering any more because they require way too much watering.
