Pleasantly Surprised!
I was pleasantly surprised with the size of the tree I received. It had shoots when I received it and started growing right away. I had the tree inside for a few months using a grow light and it had several shoots and lots of leaves. Unfortunately, I planted the tree outside a bit too early and frost got to the existing leaves. However, the tree is starting to grow and has several new shoots so I am hopeful the tree will make a full recovery. I do wish this tree had more red. I have one in my backyard and its primarily red with yellow and green. This tree seems to be primarily yellow. All in all, I am happy with this tree so far.

Going to be beautiful when it grows up. A little skimpy right now.

We LOVE it! The variation of the leaf color is truly awesome. I cannot wait to see how fast it takes off. Thank you!
