I’ll reserve my final judgement until I am sure the plants survive. While the miniature arborvitae look OK, the Japanese maple looks like its leaves have suffered from too much sun or too little water. Moss was growing on the soil in its little pot. I’m disappointed because I paid as much for these plants as I would have for much larger plants elsewhere, and they just don’t appear to be very healthy.
