   A couple of weeks ago, I ordered a "Lemonade Tree" (a cross between a   
   Lemon tree and a Mandarin Tree)   
      
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemonade_fruit   
      
   and it was delivered today (a Sunday, I guess the Christmas rush has   
   started!!) and it was in a cardboard box about 8" x 8" x 4ft.   
      
   Now, to keep the tree alive until Christmas, I'll have to take it out of   
   the box so it can get some Sun and Water .... before I have to re-seal   
   it into the box. Hopefully!!
