Southern Living Fire Chief Arborvitae Live Shrub in 2-Gallon Grower Pot

I have been trying to order these bushes all summer and they were out of stock on and off until recently. They were just delivered today and they look great. I ordered the $12 smaller size, they were well packed and moist when they arrived.

I was astounded at the size and fullness of the shrub I received! It's huge, which is a great plus as the colder weather is coming, so this guy can hold his own against the upcoming winter. The bush is gorgeous and full, and already showing the flaming color on its tops. I'm super pleased!

Three fire chief arborvitae shrubs shape like little fire balls. Arrived at my doorstep packaged well, and secured. All three are healthy with bright red tops , all I had to do was water them, sit them in the sun where they will be living, wait a few hours before planting them in containers. They are all planted in their container home and I believe they will do well. Looking forward to seeing them throughout the winter and into spring.

Such beautiful specimens ( I had purchased two, and they are exactly what I have wanted for the garden for quite awhile). Before purchasing, it is best to learn about the plant. One tip that I would like to share: plants in their temporary planters are easily unsheathed by simply and carefully snipping the thick top edge of the container in two places approximately two inches apart, and then repeat on the opposite side. Now, peel the container between the two cuts on either side of the planter pot, as if peeling a banana. The next step, especially for plants with densely entwined root balls: Place the root ball in an unused ziplock bag; give it a drink of water; carefully zip shut to prevent dehydration; and give the roots a chance to decompress before attempting to disentangle the roots, using a small twig or tweezers or gentle handling.

Exceeded expectations. Was initially hesitant to buy online but plants arrived healthy and great value for money.

I purchased one Fire Chief shrub from my local nursery for $42 plus text. I turned around and place an order for two Fire Chief shrubs from Walmart and received 2 bigger ones for a cheaper price.

The package was sturdy and intact. The shrubs were in great condition. The foliage and color of the plant was healthy. Really recommend Southern Living!

Packaged perfectly and well hydrated! Plants were very healthy. Great job, Walmart!

Packaged well arrived quickly and in good condition

I received the two plants as expected. Even though they took a while to get here, I was excited to receive them in good order. I did a very thorough job of planting them but within 1 week one of them turned completely black and lifeless. The other one is now starting to turn black also. It's a real disappointment.
