Purchased two of these in 1 gallon pots. They arrived TINY! They didn't really even have root balls, just looked like they cut a sprig off a full grown tree and stuck it in a pot. Pretty disappointed

I purchased 4 of these Fluffy® Western Arborvitae & 4 lived. After 12 months, they've more than doubled in size. Very tough plants that’s survived the winter in small pots.
