The trees arrived in great shape, as described in terms of height. I transplanted them successfully, and was struggling with how much to water, so finally bought a soil moisture tester which has eliminated my concerns. Very thrilled with the prospect of my natural privacy screen. I wish I had found Simply Trees years ago!
