a total misrepresentation
Reviewed By: Amberleigh (Golden, CO)
I received my dwarf fig and dwarf lime trees yesterday and I cannot begin to tell you how incredibly DISAPPOINTED I am. Although I did not expect the trees to arrive looking like the picture in the catalog (full of fruit, big, bushy, and potted- a total misrepresentation of what you actually receive) I certainly did not expect the scrawny, pathetic twigs that arrived on my doorstep. On top of that, the leaves were yellowed, browned, and spotted and many of the leaves had been cut seemingly with scissors. I had been contemplating buying more of the fruit trees but after this I won’t waste my money.

not so bad
Reviewed By: Aj (reading, pa)
I purchased this product last year. When it arrives it does look pretty pathetic. Do not let this fool you. This year I have limes growing on a very nice looking tree. I have about a dozen limes growing on a 2 foot tree right now. It looks great. Don't let the first year deceive you.
