tree-by-mail still ahead of its time ?
received promptly & very well packed... looked good upon arrival -- albeit younger, smaller, & scawnier than advertised/pictured... but suddenly turned brown and started losing leaves within the first 24 hours... dehydrated or frozen in transit ? soil seemed poor -- maybe too *much* drainage ? seemed hydrophobic and disinclined to wet... also, leaf and bark seemed uncharacteristic for a black olive, but that is probably just my ignorance showing... shipping right to our front door was great, but having to ship it back involved some hassle... Amazon was exceptionally good about processing the return
