I don't think the big fans make the northern grown ones look sick. I think healthy doesn't depend on size and healthy is what we all want most. I love the great big fans and strive to get mine to grow as big as nature will allow. But, just because some are big doesn't mean the smaller ones are bad. I judge a fan more by the roots and the condition of the leaves, even if the leaves are cut short it's easy to tell if they are healthy. So, don't fret over your northern plants not being as big. I'll love them all as long as they are healthy.
I got in another order today. I was in the middle of fertilizing my field of pots and didn't think to take pictures. I do have a question?? This package came about 600 miles but took 4 days. It was shipped priority mail. For some reason, I thought priority mail was around 2 days?? How long is it taking your packages???
