Plant arrived heallthy. Just a bit dissappointed with packing. I ve gotten used to Logee s careful packing. This one's top was bent/broken due to the lacking support stem that usually came with the packed plant. Plant is now repotted, still looks thriving...just sorry to have to cut the damaged top growth and associated loss of leaves.
My strawberry tree arrived today in its 4 inch pot. The box it came in was damaged. My heart sank but quickly recovered when i unpacked the plants.
The careful packing and wrapping protected the contents. I was happy to see lush green and vibrant looking plants. The Strawberry Tree was about a foot tall, the soil was moist, branches and leaves intact Thank you for the care in plackaging.. Instructions that came with the plants were clear. I have ordered similar plants from other stores for similar prices, Logee's care was superior both in packaging and plant size. Thank you.
This is a very interesting tree. Doesn't grow quite as fast as I expected but pretty quickly. The leaves lay down at dusk and stand back up in the morning. The flowers do look like strawberry flowers, the fruit looks like cherries, but the flavor is extremely unique. Creamy and juicy, a sweet nutty flavoring. Very very tasty! Is a little finicky and will drop leaves quickly if over or under watered so always check the soil! I could see having a few of these trees, its that good.
I love that Logee's carries so many tropical plants - like this Strawberry Tree! I have many a memory of sitting in one as a child picking the fruit, moving from branch to branch looking for ripe fruit. They grew pretty large & sturdy in Asia I am excited that I can grow it here, even though it has to go in a pot & won't grow as large as it does back home!! Thank you Logee's!!
I did not expect to see flowers when i opened the box, but low and behold I see flowerbuds!! Although they are falling off from shipping, I can't wait for him to start growing and flowering for me. Very beautiful plant.
