Ground spikes are what set this pair apart: an 8-inch stake screws under each 27.5-inch ball tree so it plants straight into soil along a walkway, with no pot required. Layered green foliage carries scattered purple blossoms, and the branches sit at staggered depths so the crown looks full from every side. PE construction resists fading in direct sun and stays smell-free, so the same pair can move to a covered porch in winter. Total weight is 9 pounds for the set, light enough to reposition while planning a bed. Skip the stakes and drop the trees into planters instead when you want them on a step or by a gate. Assembly is a screw-together job, and the package includes both trees, both spikes, and instructions.
