My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Abies golden spreader

7 years ago

Had this shipped a couple weeks ago during a hot period. Within couple days started dropping needles and now dropped them all. Will it come back in spring?

    talk with your seller.. and suggest that NOBODY mails conifers in the heat of august ...though i suppose your location might matter ....


    and that you would like a replacement ...


    there is a chance those buds will open net spring.. but you have lost the ability to store energy in the roots this fall ...


    darn well could have been dead before they sent it.. but being a yellow plant.. its really hard to tell ... until.. wait ior it.. until all the needles fall off ..


    finally.. i might suggest that things happen in tree time.. in conifers.. and frankly.. there is no 'couple weeks' in tree time ... so i figure it was heavily compromised before it went in the box ....
