The Pindo Palms are great palms. I have bought this palm from a different place online and it did not come as nice as when i ordered it from here. The one i ordered from the other place which I will not mention came with broken leaves. I was very disappointed. The ones that i came from realpalmtrees came with the palm secured to the bottom and with its original container. SO i had no problems placing the palm in the location and the leaves were perfect. I couldn't have been more satisfied.
