Available sizes

* The size indicated is indicative. It is an approximate height calculated by averaging the height of several specimens. As living beings, each plant has its own shape and growth rate and therefore the measurement cannot be taken as exact.

* Some plants that have flowers and/or fruits may not have them at the time of purchase. Since flowering, fruit production and even foliage production is seasonal, it may be the case that the time of purchase does not coincide with these periods of flowering or fruiting, which does not imply that the plant has a defect or deficiency.
