As soon as I saw this Dragon Prince, I just had to have it! I love the fact it is bouncy and soft to the touch, unlike most conifers that poke you. I want to make a Japanese garden on the east side of our house and I picked this shrub for its compact size, density of foliage and naturally mounded shape. It arrived in a timely manner well packaged with a bit of frost burn on some of the tips I’m guessing. No biggy. Just got a little shear. Thanks for letting me get my hands on these!

Plant came damaged. You extended warranty. I won’t do this again

Plants were in pots and arrived in great shape. The box they were shipped in kept the plants safe during shipment. I love these plants. Will definitely buy from them again

I ordered 2 plants 2.5 QT size. Plants arrived healthy and are doing very well. Exactly as described. I would have given 5 stars if both plants arrived being approximately the same size. One was much smaller.

What a unique shrub. Saw it on a gardening clip on Youtube and really wanted one. Very pleased to find one online. Perfect shape, planted it and it doing well in the sunny spot in my front yard.
