What customers say
Customer enthusiasm centers on the exceptional quality and health of the starter plants received from Logee's. Reviewers consistently praise the meticulous packaging ensuring delicate specimens arrive vibrant and ready for transplant. The novelty of the Bunchosia armeniaca, promising a unique flavor, excites collectors. While initial satisfaction with the specimen quality is high, long term success varies due to the inherent challenge of growing this tropical species outside its native climate. Patience is key, as fruiting requires several years. Despite potential growth struggles related to humidity or temperature, most buyers feel the premium price is justified by the high quality and reliability of the specialized, well rooted stock provided by Logee's.
