Tree came in over a foot tall with multiple branches. List many of the older leaves during shipping but the younger ones look great if a little sun-deprived, not unexpected considering it just came out of a box. Overall great plant but needs a more careful acclimation to get ready for the hot summer heat.
When I first received this plant, it had lost all leaves during shipping. But just one year later, it shot up to over 6 feet tall and now has a trunk width of 0.75 inches - while growing almost entirely indoors! The more sunlight, heat, and humidity you give, the faster this plant grows (though it also does well in drier air). For me, a combination of regular pruning and ZERO fertilizer was necessary to "slow down" the plant and get it to flower.
When it arrived all but the top 3 leaves had fallen off in shipping. They are very delicate leaves. I planted it and in the last couple months it has taken off. It regrew new leaves within a couple weeks. I just had to top it because it's about 2.5 feet tall and skinny. I topped it to try to encourage more branch growth. No flowers but I wouldn't expect anything till at least next summer.
The Plant is now about 38 in. tall and is healthy
