Apricot Echo Orange Tea Olive - Live Plant - (2.5 QT)

This is one of the best trees I have received this year. It sat inside the box, in the foyer all night, because I didn't know it was here. And it still came out of the box a beautiful specimen. I am really excited about this tree. It is easy 3x bigger than two other tea olives I ordered, It is leafy, green and healthy.It is late I am the season for planting here, but I really needed to get this tree started by a walkway. I will have to really babysit it for a while. Fortunately there is rain in the forecast all week.

I was very hesitant to order a plant online because you never know of the health it will arrive in. To my surprise, I received a beautiful, healthy specimen of my fragrant sweet olive tree. It came well packed and very moist soil. I already have flowers blooming a WEEK LATER😧 and they are oh soooo fragrant. It's very hard to find the orange blooms at the local nurseries around me. I would definitely buy from this nursery again and I do recommend them. VERY HAPPY WITH MY PURCHASE:)

Pleasantly surprised on size of Tea Olive. Beautiful, strong, and healthy.This is a hard to find color for some reason. But it was my bday, and this is one of items I really wanted, so I treated myself. I'm glad I did!Was packed really well and shipping time was reasonable.It's sprouting, and gonna be the envy of my neighborhood. Not A Tea Olive to be found, let alone in "Apricot"!~ I like gardening—it’s a place where I find myself when I need to lose myself. ~Alice Sebold

The plant was a twig with leaves. I buy a lot of my plants online so I'm used to seeing that. I acclimated the plant before moving it to it's forever home and once in the ground it started right off putting on new growth. I mulched the root area and then had to protect it once due to sudden temp drop. It looked fine for about 4-5 days after. Then I noticed it stopped putting on new growth and started dying. No sign of why. After I was sure it was a goner, I pulled it up - no noticeable root damage, no slugs/bugs. The leaves hadn't been eaten either prior to it dying. Sad that I won't be replacing it due to the cost of the twig. I'll find one to start in the wild.

The shrub arrived in good condition and healthy. Planted immediately and after a few weeks adapting to the new environment, it started to grow. The first flowers appeared a couple of months after planting. I'm really happy with this purchase!

The plant arrived in the house, and the dried leaf almost died. I put the plants in a pot and gave them some water, but since then, the plants have kept drying up, and the leaves are breaking into pieces that make one side of the plant where almost all the leaves are gone.

A very healthy looking plant arrived quickly in a carefully packaged box. I am told this variety (along with the cream-flowering variety ‘Fodingzhu’) bloom as much smaller, younger plants than the more standard varieties. So far this seems to be true, but I will come back and update my review when the time comes. Planted in zone 8a with morning through early afternoon sun.

I ordered this apricot olive tree on May 2021, it arrived in good condition. It’s small but establish well and get flowering that year. Unfortunately, it didn’t survive the cold of winter. Even though I covered it with freeze protection bag. All leaves fall during winter and never came back, eventually it died. This is very surprised to me because I’m in zone 9.
