Received my Haas Avocado tree from 2000 miles across the country. Packaged well, Bigger than expected. Healthy, minimal travel shock after its trip. Actually already has lots of new growth in it first week here in Florida. We were extremely hesitant to purchase tree online and have it shipped the distance, glad we did. This tree was much better in appearance the what we found here locally in the big box stores. Definitely not disappointed with this tree.
