Love the palm feel they add to our home. The color is much more olive green (green mixed with a mustard color) than the sage/bluish green shown in the photo. Some of the tips are brown...from being dried out. We were able to use them in the size they arrived, 3-3.5 feet tall, in our floor vases and cut another bunch down to 2 feet for a table top vase display. They cut easily. Great service, shipping was so fast.
