Very healthy green plant, 12" tall, very secure cardboard shipping container, 5-STARS... !!!
The Plant inside it's very sturdy Shipping Container was left at my Side Door, which is shaded by my Side Car Garage, so very thoughtful of the Delivery Person to put it in a Cool, Dry, and Safe location. Thank you much!!!I live in a Manufactured Home Park with Very Strict CCR's, limiting plant/tree height/size and must be Container Grown, so this DWARF Mulberry Tree is exactly what I was looking for, not to grow too tall (the Regular Mulberry Tree can grow to over 50' tall, and a 20" diameter trunk... way too big for me), but still able to produce Mulberry Fruit, which I LOVE.Plant arrived, on Time, as Promised, in a Very Secure Cardboard Container, and my "Baby" arrived Green, 12" Tall, and Very Healthy. I am VERY Pleased and Happy with it's Delivery.Per instructions, I watered it, then put the entire plant and container into an Empty but Cleaned, RAMEN Cup, that I put on top of my Refrigerator, where it's Comfortably Warm, Dry, Shaded, and a nice place for it to get Acclimated to my Zone 10b Climate. I will keep it hydrated with a few drips of water, as needed, for now.I suspect the Nursery grows this under Shade Cloth, to limit Direct Sunlight, especially right now, when our SUN is at a PEAK Sunspot Cycle, with Massive Gamma Rays Emissions. Even people risk SKIN CANCER, under such conditions, so this Poor Baby needs to be kept in a Shady Place, for now, once it does get placed outside. But, that's not now.The Plant is VERY Healthy, so the Nursery really knows how to Sprout and Grow DWARF Mulberry Seedlings.I highly Recommend this Nursery, and give them a 5-STAR Rating.If you need a DWARF Mulberry Tree, I suggest you consider getting this one.Oh, it also comes with a 30-Day Warranty too.What more could you ask for?I say, "GO FOR IT... !!! "

Edited: Initially underwhelmed, now VERY happy. 3 stars to 5 stars.
UPDATED 5 Star Review:Well, I have to correct myself. I definitely think the initial 3 star review was accurate at the time, and please read it below. However, this Pakistan variety is definitely different than the dwarf mulberry plants I got. They took a good amount of time to establish a viable root system from the very tiny cuttings, but once the root system gets established, these plants really take off! They are already 3.5 and 4.0 feet tall, measured from the ground level! The largest sapling has one leaf that is 8" across and 9" long, not including the stem of the heart-shaped leaf. I have mild winters but they are now in 5 gal. buckets as pots so I can garage them over the winter to protect them from deer, goats and any hard freezes; I will plant them in permanent homes in the Spring. I am quite sure this plant will grow into a monster tree in 2 decades, so I will have to think carefully about where to plant it and how to prune it to keep it low (branches no more than 8-10 feet off the ground) so the berries can be more easily harvested. As I prune, I am definitely going to be cloning the cuttings to produce more of these fruit trees.I would definitely recommend using a plant rooting hormone powder or liquid when first transplanting in addition to weekly mild fertilizing with Miracle Gro or similar liquid fertilizer to maximize growth and plant strength.INITIAL 3 Star Review:Pros: They arrived alive. Cons: Minuscule cuttings, overpriced, very little roots in teeny-tiny plugs which were stuck in a larger (but still tiny) 1" pot. These aren't cuttings, they are snippings. I am assuming that the Pakistan variety will be different from my other mulberries and make the purchase worth the high price due to something significantly better about the fruit. It will be years before the two leaves coming out of the soil plug (there's not even a main branch) grow into anything capable of producing fruit. Unless you are specifically looking to experiment with what is advertised as a different strain producing longer fruits, just go with the "dwarf" mulberries being sold, as you get a far better start in a 4" pot for a third of the cost.

Alive, but not for long
I watered and planted it right away. Leaves fell off and is showing no signs of life. Instructions that came with it stated that it should be transplanted and grown in a larger pot. I wouldn't have purchased if I knew it wasn't ready to be planted outdoors.

Healthy, happy mulberry tree
Arrived in a securely packaged box. It looks so healthy and happy! I unwrapped it, placed it outside on my patio, watered it and gave it fruit tree fertilizer. I'm surprised at how tall it is and leafy! Looks lovely!

Happy with the purchase
The plant arrived in very healthy condition. It was well packed and did not suffer any stress from shipping. Giving 4 stars because its size is smaller than I have expected,but not a real concern.

Very pleased with the baby tree
The plant arrived on time and very well packaged. The Amazon delivery person was considerately going to place it in a shady spot but my handy four legged doorbell let me know someone was there and I received it directly from him. I was so excited to get it that I opened the package immediately. The first thing I noticed was the instruction to water immediately. Carefully removing it from the plastic bag, I gently watered it and noticed that there might be two seedlings in the pot.The plant(s) are in excellent condition with multiple leaves each. One is approximately 6” tall while the other is approximately 8” tall.The company has supplied a website link for continuing care and some videos which will be quite helpful.Overall, I will definitely look for any other plants that I may want on this company’s website.
