great plant

My Carolina allspice arrived with a few other plants. It was the healthiest of the plants and has thrived. I planted it immediately and it has grown and leafed out beautifully. I would purchase this plant again.

I was amazed!

My Carolina Allspice arrived when promised in perfect shape. Roots moist, small leaves crisp and green. Found the perfect spot in the understory edges of my forested back yard, dug out a Rhodo volunteer I'd planted and the Allspice is happy! Thanks

Carolina Allspice

Our weather ha been a roller coaster since planting. The plant had broken dormancy and showed a few small leaves. The root ball wa a little on the small side. I got it in the ground right away and have given it a little fertilizer and have kept it moist. So it's a little early to know how it will take. I'll be watching it closely.
