Soft Touch Holly Review
The two Soft Touch Holly Shrubs were is great condition when received and are doing very well. This was my second order from Fast Growing Trees and I have been very pleased with both orders.
Better than most nurseries
My plants arrived in good shape. I’m hoping I have found a reliable mail order nursery. Nurseries I have ordered from in the past just send too small and under developed root systems to survive mail service up to 8 days. Sure they will send replacements but what good is that if they sent the same sick plants. I am very pleased with Fast Growing Trees
Boxwood alternative
For those in a panic about Boxwood Blight a good, if not better, alternative.
Nice little shrubs
Arrived in good condition. Packaged well.
Very pleased with them.
