  1. Carl N. (Verified Customer) –

    We waited almost forever for this stick to come out of dormancy. It seemed strange. My wife wanted to give up, but I was patient and one day. a little green appeared on one of the leaf buds. Now the plant is two feet tall and has a healthy crop of leaves. Now, it’s going dormant. I am really pleased with this plant.
