The Dragon Slayer Yucca receives mixed feedback. Customers praised the plants as "beautiful" and "healthy," with some noting they arrived "exactly as promised." However, shipping issues were significant - several customers reported damaged plants arriving sideways or upside down with exposed roots and minimal foliage. Despite handling concerns, some found the plants resilient enough to potentially thrive.

Sadly Disappointed

I ordered 2 plants and the arrived quickly, however they obviously were not handled with care. One was sideways in its pot and the other was completely upside down with the roots exposed. Each one looked almost dead and only had a couple of leaves on it.
I have ordered from Proven Winners in the past and always received quality plants in excellent condition. Based on my past experiences, I planted them anyway in hopes they'll pull through. It's too early to tell at this stage but I would consider using a different carrier.

Healthy plants even after abuse

Abused by the delivery company, I believe the three plants are healthy and given time to settle, will thrive.

We are sorry to hear about the rough handling during delivery, but we are thrilled to hear that the plants are still healthy.
