Would be a 5-star review, except for the false advertising and the too-high price
First, the good news: These are healthy plants, well-packaged, and arrived in great shape. Clearly they were grown and mailed by a company that is knowledgeable and careful.The bad: (a) As others have said, these are not "6"-12" plants. They are 4" plants in a 4" high pot. The trees are so small they don't even have any branches. The photo in the listing shown a multi-branched olive tree in a one-gallon pot. Yes, the words in the listing say it's a tiny pot and the "tree" is 6"-12" tall, and that is almost true, but most people don't count the "root height" when they visualize how tall a plant is. So, the seller really needs to correct that. (b) The price ($23) is pretty ridiculous for such a tiny plant. $26 will buy an Arbequina olive tree that's 100 times as large, at Portland Nursery.I've learned, at my site (SW WA) that olives really suffer from cold snaps and wet ground until they have much larger diameter (older) trunks. I've spent ten years trying to get one Arbequina olive tree up to producing/"safe from wet and freezes" size, and I'm finally there. I've learned it may be smarter to keep the trees in pots while they're young: You can easily move them indoors during cold snaps and really wet weather, while you wait for their trunks to get thick enough for setting outside. No clue how many years that will be, but maybe ?5? years or more? This is not an old person's game. But our older tree does produce very nice olives which I slit and brine for 6 months, and then they're great.

Buggy
It's alive, but really struggling.This came with spider mites on the plant and gnats in the soil. Ive been fighting to keep it alive and am battling the infestation that spread the other plants that were near this one since.

Misleading product description- overpaid for smaller product
Item description was misleading and product shipped did match the size I paid for. Paid $23 for what was described as a 4" ~16 oz pot and 12" tree. Seedling arrived that was at most 8" tall and was in a 2-4 oz seed starter cell not a 4" diameter 16oz .

Great deal
Plants were heathy and are growing very well. Securely packaged and roots were still wet when they arrived.

Tiny stem and long wait for product.
I waited for this product for almost 2 months and finally received it but was very small. See picture. The shipping lable was pretty close to my residence so not sure why it took so long. A bit tiny for the price. I ended up getting a large olive tree at Lowe's for less than what I spent for this. Sorry.

Teeny Tiny
Nice Big Box and plenty of newspaper filler to accompany this 3 inch tiny little stick of a plant. How disappointing for $23.
