Shipping Information
Orders containing only hard goods generally ship right away
as the inventory allows. Those items ship year-round and generally within one
week.
When ordering plants during fall or spring shipping, we will
set your order for the next available shipping week appropriate for your
location. April and May are our busiest months, and sometimes shipping delays
happen. Plants may be processed later than scheduled or the shipping department may get behind. This is not the norm, but it does sometimes happen. Please bear with us if this happens.
Our bare-root (field-grown) trees and shrubs typically arrive at the facility for shipping in November, December, and January (for fall shipping) and in February, March, April, and May (for spring shipping).
An example of month-by-month shipping would be as follows, as plants are available:
January - zones 9 - 10
February - zones 8 - 10
March - zones 7 - 10
April - zones 6 - 10
May - zones 5 - 9
June - zones 3 - 8
July - zones 3 - 7
August - zones 4 - 7
September - zones 5 - 8
October - zones 5 (some areas) - 9
November - zones 6 (some areas) - 10
