fun delivery
I just wanted to post the tracking on this gift I sent which was delivered late i guess as it is probably sitting on my friends doorstep at this moment or at least I hope it still is. She is working today but was home yesterday when the 2 day delivery was supposed to have taken place (see below)

I know this is not a review of the product but i just had to share

Beats Roses, Hands Down
One of my girls bought me one of these for my birthday. She said it was a symbol of her love. I gotta say, it's cute, and it lives a lot longer than flowers and is lots easier to take care of than a new puppy. It's a great little tree, one I enjoy everyday. Beats roses, hands down.

It died
Within a week of purchasing the tree, it died. I had put it oustside in a shady area where it could get partial sun, and I watered it every other day. However within a week, all the leaves were brown and fell off.

Good Deal on a Ficus
I wanted a bonsai tree--I've been out of the hobby for a decade. I ordered this ficus because they are being sold locally for $40. It arrived well packed and in excellent condition. It's still doing well, months later.

Incredible Item
My first tree I have purchased online and was VERY HAPPY. Tree arrived very well packaged and was bigger than advertised and in incredible shape. I'm now a lifetime Brussel's customer!
