Packaged super super carefully with 4 boxes to cover the full length, pretty fast shipping, got it within 3 days. Does not come with pot but the root ball is very carefully wrapped and safe. The leaves are still so green and healthy. There was some fallen leaves but not a noticeable amount. It is most definitely 4ft, this is a great purchase for the value and price. Definitely won't find a more established clerodendrum smithianum anywhere else--I've looked and others are babies.

Great customer service and large size plants worth the price

This plant was taken out of the pot and put in a bag with soaking wet soil, wrapped in paper with leaves bent and squished, then put in a box with no other protection! I’m hoping for what I spent on this plant that it doesn’t die, but it will loose all its leaves and have to start over!
