Michael D.

Both trees for 5-6 ft are very skinny. But I am optimistic they will fill out and planted them both in very tall planters for now. Seem to be doing well.

Gretchen R.

Overall, I’m very happy with the trees. They were a bit smaller than anticipated, but were healthy and are thriving.

Constantinos L.

Everything was perfect , Thank you!

I had no idea what to expect (ordered 8 trees) when I only received one box. To my shock, all 8 were in there and packaged with such care that I’m sure it could have taken a tumble and survived. Trees are happily planted now soaking up the sun

Caterina G.

Thank you!

Jesus

Burney Y.

Doing great here in Texas

Bernt B.

If I had known the cypress I ordered is been shipped from Florida to my Nevada home while sitting for one week in a dark box in the transit I would never ordered this mini tree for almost $200. To add insult to injury the transplant appears to be dying off anyway, needles are turning brownish now. Will be requesting a full refund.

Brian H.

A little shorter than I was hoping, but very healthy and vibrant. Arrived in perfect shape and doing well so far.

Maria S.

Arrived promptly and packaged well. I potted them and have them on my lanai! So far they are doing well!

My Dwarf Italian Cypress showed up & looked so fresh & green. They were wrapped very securely and were in perfect condition & not wilted or browned at all. They were slightly bent at the top, but have straightened up and look fantastic. I am so happy I chose Eureka Farms. I will definitely purchase from them again. Unlike other online plant companies, they get the job done!

Jagan K.

My little dwarf cypress came perfectly packed. Cannot wait for them to grow tall in the next few years

Bernardo R.

Second time ordering. First time ordered a dwarf italian cypress to see how it looks before I made a large purchase. True to the exact size they claim. Well packaged and healthy tree. They contacted me to make sure I get the similar trees when ordering the second time, which shows they care for their good customer service. And best of all they have better prices compared to their competitors.

Gerardo R.

The plants arrived in great condition. They were packaged well and arrived quickly.

Gary L.

Ordered a dwarf cypress from another company and while looking strong a good now is smaller than this on me that was delivered. Delivered in good shape. Time will tell. I plan to order more.

john s.

They were well package and delivery was quick. I guess they are in good shape, I'll know later. My problem is with description. I assuuuuumed height was the tree, not the tree AND pot. If I had known the tree was that small, I would have bought up a size or two.

Svetlana S.

My little baby is doing good so far. I'll plant it outside in about March( worrying it may freeze). Wish it happy and healthy .

John G.

The height of the Italian Cypress was true to the description! I would buy again.

Tami A.

Love the trees, they came in perfect condition, healthy and beautiful. Can’t wait to plant them.

Val G.

Chuck C.

First time ordering plants.. Well done!

Mary H.

The order came and the plants were in good condition and we planted them right away

Intan R.

Looks great! I just want to make sure it's growing straight up right, so I put a tall pole next to this beauty to help the tree grow straight. I also marked the height of the tree on the pole to see how much growth in a year.

George S.

Beautiful well packaged for shipping journey. Very pleased with plants.

Robert R.

Extremely with the shipment packaging, the care and follow-thru at Eureka Farms, and, especially, with the vitality of the evergreen. in only a few weeks the hearty evergreen planted outdoors in a container has grown several inches in height.

Kathleen D.

Arrived in perfect condition, planted them and so far so good!

Andrey K.

Cecylia F.

Louis O.

These lil Dwarf Cypress are a beautiful addition to my small backyard. The customer service at Eureka Farms is owsome, l reside in Vegas they are in Florida when they arrived it was as if I picked them up locally in great shape. Would recommend these Cypress and Eureka Farms to anyone. Vegas Lou.

Heather S.

I used three different providers to furnish my new home with plants and trees, and Eureka knocked it out of the park

George M.

The tree is perfect. It was perfectly packaged.

Edgar S.

The 3 young saplings were 13 inches tall on the average not counting the pots. They are absolutely flawless, perfectly healthy. They look very happy by my sunny window. In a few weeks they will be travelling abroad with me, a special gift for a family member. I will be buying again from Eureka!

Michael C.

Arrived in great shape. Fast shipping. No complaints so far.

John

Great product! Plants arrived healthy and in great shape.

Melvin D.

Since I just received these small trees, it is going to take some time to see them establish themselves before I could render a solid review. But, I was please with the Dwarf Italian Cypress trees that I received. I may actually be purchasing more in the future if these do well.

Maggie K.

Trees came FAST and in great condition. They are small though so it’ll be awhile before I really get to enjoy their majestic beauty!

David P.

The trees arrived safe, sound and in a timely manner. They were planted right away and have been doing great ever since. Choosing to order through Eureka Farms was a great choice and I will certainly do it again!

Linda S.

My trees arrived in great condition, we ordered the small trees and got them in the ground the day after delivery. It’s been about two weeks and they are doing fantastic, already seeing new growth. Great experience

Rosanna W.

I am very happy to have found these dwarf Italian Cypress trees. I ordered two 3 feet to 4 feet trees (as their description) instead of the taller size to save cost as they are not cheep. It was disappointing when they arrived right at 3 feet and not any taller. They came well packed though one had dry mulch on the top of the dirt and the other did not. I don't know why this would be and which is better. I have planted them in the ground and take care of them daily.

Lisa F.

I was very pleased with my purchase. I will be making future purchases:)

Stone M.

After numerous communications with Mayret, a plant specialist at Eureka Farm, I made the first purchase with the nursery. The decision was based on the results of Mayret's great efforts to explain and educate me about Italian Cypress I was interested in. Mayret has been consistently and patiently answering all of my questions and making sure this tree is suitable for the region I live in and particularly in my application. Three trees ordered were delivered on time. They are well grown, healthy, perfectly packed and exactly as described on Eureka website. My superior experience of the first purchase proved that Eureka Farm is a reliable and high quality grower. From customer service, delivery and well-grown trees, it will be my first resource for my next landscape needs. Thanks so much for Mayret and Eureka Farm.

Jazmine R.

These trees arrived in perfect condition. They are healthy and absolutely beautiful! Will definitely be purchasing more soon.

David W.

Minor problem on the 1st delivery. I wish I would have ordered all 4 at the same time would have saved me at least $30.00 dollars. 5ft. Blue Spruce Cedars sold here locally were $300.00 a piece and would have cost me $1200.00 plus tax for 4 trees.

Rene L.

Blown away by receiving four pack of dwarf italian cypress trees (to complement my pizza oven and kitchen garden) in pristine condition. Sales service and prompt delivery was first rate. Impressive.

Brian B.

Cypress arrived in excellent shape. They were perfectly matched as per my request. Your products and service are impeccable. This is the first time I have attempted to purchase plants for delivery. I had my concerns since they were coming from Florida all the way to Portland, Oregon. I obviously did not need to worry. I will surely engage Eureka Farms in the future. Selection, availability, service and customer service will bring me back for sure. Thank You! Brian Battalia

Rebecca S.

These trees came well packed. They are beautiful standing tall in my backyard. I ordered eight at first. They were so nice. I got more great Quality. Arrived in good time

David W.

If had just gotten all 4 Mediterranean Dwarf Cypress at the same time would have save me about $25 dollars. Price a regular Blue Spruce Tree here locally $300.00 a piece would have cost me $1200.00 plus tax.

Lori N.

The plants arrived looking very healthy!

Mark

Packaging and delivery was as described. I’ll follow back up with you in 10 years to let you know how they are doing.

Danielle E.
