Autumn Olive, Japanese Silverberry, Elaeagnus umbellata Plug Plant.

Arrived in good condition.

Very nice, healthy looking little plug plant. I ordered a few plug plants from this company, most of which arrived well within the delivery time frame, and well-packed. This one is bigger than the example in their picture, and quite healthy looking. It has a few leaves that look variegated, not sure whether it's meant to be, but looks healthy, and from what I can see through the bag, its root system looks well developed. As I've only just received them, have not potted them up yet, as will leave them a day to acclimatise first, just checked to make sure the soil in the bag is still damp enough. If there are any unexpected surprises when I pot them up, or it suddenly dies within a few days, I will try to update this review, but think neither likely. They arrive with detailed growing on instructions, and a nice letter from the supplier explaining about their business. The packing is minimalist, but perfectly adequate for such small plants, as they were sellotaped in securely. This one, being slightly taller than the others has got a bit bent at the tips, but am sure it will recover well, being so young yet. It is about 16 cm tall (with tips straightened out) from the top of the bag to the tips, and about 25 cm tall in total, with the bag. For the price, think these excellent little plug plants, and a cheap way to buy trees, if you're willing to grown them on yourself - the upside of buying plants/trees so young is that you have control over how they're grown and trained from early on. Overall, would recommend, and the seller, too, they seem like a very good family business.
