10 of my plants have turn completely brown but the rest of them look fine except some of the branches have some brown . Will you replace them ? I can send you photos so you can see some of the plants are dark green but you can see the brown plants in the row of plants

These 2 cryptomerias are so neat looking and beautiful in my containers. They look very healthy and are a good size. Now, if i can just keep them alive here in Texas, zone 8b, because the heat has been so awful. Thank you so much. LOVE THEM!

Plants were packed with great care and arrived in perfect condition. They were similar in size and shape – so placement was very easy (no needing to match shapes or sizes). I couldn’t have chosen better myself!

Dragon Prince received looked like a squashed alien head, nothing like the balance form shown on online product page. Would definitely not buy such a poorly formed plant if I did in a local nursery. Thought an online company would have a more discerning eyes when picking and sending out plants. Lesson learned. Use a local nursery

These Dragon Prince cryptomeria are so gorgeous. I am so glad I finally decided to get them. Thank you for packing these so well for their long travel (to me) and for the great care of the plants. Plants arrived fast and in great shape. Special thanks to Horttube (Jim Putnam) for putting this on my radar.

No issues, arrived fast & very healthy, full bushes that the deer will not eat. And my deer eat everything!
