This was by far the largest planting project we've ever done: 14 of these moonglows for what we hope to be an 80 foot privacy hedge. All were delivered as promised: vibrant and 4-5 feet tall. We started planting them immediately upon arrival and finished a few days later. Within days after that we noted new growth! Now, a few are even higher than 5 feet! The spring sale discount and free shipping saved us a ton of $$, too. I almost felt like we were stealing! Only minor complaint was dead twigs near the base on all of them. But, as the trees grow, that should not be a problem.
