Dear customers who already got a tree year or more ago - is it REALLY DWARF? Like on the picture? I look for DWARF variety!!!! HELP!!!

I haven't purchased this particular one, but controlling the height of any papaya tree is simple. Once it gets to the height you want, literally cut the top off at that point and place an upside down, empty coffee can, bucket, small trashcan etc... this will effectively top the tree at that height and branches will grow out from the existing trunk, typically allowing more fruit to grow as a result. I live in Hawaii, we have these trees all over the place.

Yes it is :) mine came at about 17inches and is now 36" and hardening it's branches rather than making new ones. But it is most definitely a dwarf, barely waist height, pot included, and the loved leaves are georgeous to look at from above. I think I have only had it for 5 months, but the upward thrust stage has stopped.

Mine never did live... the trunk was approx 12" tall had no leaves I kept it for 3+ months then threw it out, sorry

I got my 2 trees about 8 months ago, they are potted & are both about 2 feet tall. Won't really know how big they're going to get until this growing season. It's cold now & they're inside.

when I got it,it was small but grew fast,last year I planted mine in the ground to soon.It was only 2 ft high,when frost hit I thought it was dead, but when this spring hit, it came back to life.so I would suggest to keep it in a pot till it grows at lest 4 ft tall or more that's all I can help with.sorry I'm hoping mine will shoot up this year if not I will buy another one.

Yep - just be sure you buy the "optional" attachments they suggest - then you will have the options yoiu need in terms if the variety size of tree....it's my 3rd attempt in purchasing such a style of item and it rocks!

Hi Sehei, when I purchased two trees they were sold separately. I would NOT recommend this product if you intend to place it outdoors. This was a gift to a friend and in less than one years time both items were completely unusable. Both trees lights failed in that time and one of the trees metal "trunks" were completely deteriorated.

Hi...you are going to love it. I have a 6ft tree and it get's a little lost...A 4ft tree is perfect. Don't get me wrong, I love the way it goes around the top of the tree. It's a wonderful conversation piece. Don't be surprised if some of your friends and family order it for their trees. That is what happened with me. A friend had it on her 6 ft. and I had to have it. It is sooooo cute!!!!

Hi Katherine, mine trees came about 18 - 24". Some had small fruit on. They had a lot of leaves, and some branching. I had 18 plants, 3 died since. Others are fine, fruit growing, new leaves and little new branching. I have them since August. I ordered from Hirt's, NOT from 9GreenBox. If you want pics, please give me your email.

No that's not the actually plant you will get. I got a little twig with some green on it. It had came in a plastic planter. The thing had turned brown from sitting on my shelf in the sun

What I received last December was about 12" (16" with the pot) and almost didn't fit in the box: the stem was curled slightly to ship. It had grown another 2" in three different directions by end of January. I suspect that at just 4-5", the plant isn't going to be sun-hardened yet, and may be a lot more fragile.

Ours died. It looks okay when it comes out, but it takes a while to show. I honestly wouldn't ship a bonsai tree.

Hi! I can tell you it is not certified organic, but I'm an organic grower and I understand our concern; you can check with your licensing/ federal groups and 1) if you sell less than I believe $500/ yr u need not be certified and 2) it is not always possible to find organically grown trees etc, after a period of time your practices will,determine if the fruit is organic. Please check to determine the length of time. As I'm sure you know avocados are not prolific for a number of years; it may be sufficient to overcome the growers lack of organic. I do want to tell you that both the haas and the Fuentes I received were beautiful; better than local nursery trees. Both trees have young fruit on them now. The haas is excellent it has not even really dropped leaves of any significance. The Fuentes ont the other hand does have fruit but has dropped a significant number of leaves to the point that I'm actually concerned and am going to contact the grower. If you find that I am correct and that afire a point with a young tree & ur organic growing habits you can be certified I would highly recommend these trees. Truly wonderful. I'd love to know how you do. If you have further questions I'm more than happy to provide u with any information I can. Farm on and organic is the only way to love the earth. Best to you, Lynda

Yes, I imagine if the Bonsai would have lived, it would have been a very attractive addition to our home. I am an avid gardener and my house holds hundreds of thriving plants. This tree died soon after arriving (1 month). I think it was the shock of shipping during the winter. :-(

I am in N. Florida, so the trees didn't have a bad winter here. Both are in pots, and stayed outdoors. Both are growing and doing very well. No fruit yet, and I don't expect any for a few years.

Mine did not, I want to say they probably do not all come in the same exact pot-but regardless it's a 'transportation/seeding-pot' only. It is much smaller than the pot you should keep the tree in for the long run. My brother has maybe a 2-gal pot and I have a 1.5 gal, so they are fairly big and leave plenty of room for the tree to grow. It's a great tree, healthy, and grows strong and fast!

I would recommend contacting the company. They are very responsive. I talked to them for advice when we first purchased the trees - and they have a 3 year warranty. We kept our trees in the basement for the winter (turned way too cold right after we purchased them) and then planted them this spring. They are already blooming. We had purchased Fuyu trees from another source and they didn't leaf out until the autumn, and one died. So far we are pleased. And we don't like the regular persimmons but love the Fuyu variety. Good luck!

Charles it is a tediously slow growing plant. I ordered 2 plants. One came in march, and we had it indoors till it got warmer in Arizona. I ordered a 2nd one because the first was taking so long to sprout a new leaf. That one was healthier looking when it arrived. We took both out in May.. when it got to be hot outdoors. They have been growing beautifully since. Adding miricle grow helped. Good luck!
