Shipping policy
Greenwood Nursery is proud to be one of the few mail-order plant nurseries that ships year-round. We grow and ship a wide variety of plants across all seasons, including container-grown plants, bare-root ground covers, and bare-root trees and shrubs.
Our container-grown plants ship reliably throughout the year and arrive ready for immediate planting. Bare-root ground covers are carefully packaged to retain moisture in transit so they settle in quickly once planted.
For our bare-root trees and shrubs, their appearance upon arrival will naturally vary depending on the season:
- During the dormant season (typically late fall through early spring): Plants travel fully dormant without active foliage or flowers. Dormant bare-root shipping is ideal because the plants experience minimal transit stress and establish root systems rapidly once planted in early spring.
- During the active growing season (late spring through summer): Bare-root trees and shrubs are actively growing and leafed out in transit. As a result, they may show temporary transit stress upon arrival, such as leaf wilt, foliage yellowing, or leaf drop. This is a completely normal, temporary reaction and does not mean the plant is dead or damaged. When planted in soil at the proper depth (at the root collar) and watered thoroughly, the plant will focus its energy on root establishment and quickly produce fresh new foliage.
Our website reflects live inventory in real time, so anything you can add to your cart is ready for us to safely pack and ship directly to your door.
Standard transit time is 2โ5 business days after your order ships, depending on your distance from McMinnville, TN. Southeast and Midwest customers typically receive orders in 2โ3 days. Northeast and Pacific Northwest customers should expect closer to 4โ5 days. Remember that we ship Monday through Wednesday only, so your ship date may be a few days after your order date depending on when you placed your order. You'll receive a tracking number as soon as your package leaves our facility.

Seasonal Planting Calendar
Timing your planting is the secret to guaranteed root establishment. Select your region below to find the ideal windows for your trees, shrubs, perennials, and groundcovers.
1. Northeast & Mid-Atlantic (Zones 4โ7)
- ๐ฑ Spring (Late March โ May): Prime planting season. Plant dormant bare-root trees, shrubs, and hardy groundcovers as soon as the soil thaws. Container plants can go in after your final spring frost.
- โ๏ธ Summer (June โ August): Focus on steady, deep watering. Container perennials and shrubs can still be planted, but require regular morning hydration to overcome heat.
- ๐ Fall (September โ November): The premier planting window. Warm soil and cool autumn rains stimulate deep root growth before the ground freezes, giving plants a massive head start for spring.
- โ๏ธ Winter (December โ February): Ground is frozen. Mulch new plantings heavily to prevent frost heaving.
2. Midwest (Zones 3โ6)
- ๐ฑ Spring (April โ May): Begin planting hardy bare-root stock and shade perennials once the ground is workable and muddy spring freeze-thaw cycles settle.
- โ๏ธ Summer (June โ August): High heat and humidity. Maintain 2โ3 inches of mulch around root zones to conserve moisture. Avoid bare-root planting; stick to containers with steady irrigation.
- ๐ Fall (September โ Late October): Outstanding for deciduous shade trees, fruit trees, flowering shrubs, and cold-hardy groundcovers. Aim to finish 4โ6 weeks before hard freezes.
- โ๏ธ Winter (November โ March): Ground freezes solid. Protect young evergreens from harsh winter drying winds with mulch rings or burlap barriers.
3. Central & Transition Plains (Zones 5โ7)
- ๐ฑ Spring (March โ May): Get bare-root hedging, groundcovers, and flowering perennials in the ground early to outrun sudden early-summer heat waves.
- โ๏ธ Summer (June โ August): High sun, wind, and dry stretches. Supplement newly planted stock with 1โ2 inches of water per week.
- ๐ Fall (September โ November): The best season for root growth. Mild temperatures and autumn rains create ideal, low-stress conditions for all trees and shrubs.
- โ๏ธ Winter (December โ February): Intermittent freezes. Plant hardy container-grown stock on mild, thaw days as long as the shovel easily penetrates the soil.
4. Southeast (Zones 7โ9)
- ๐ฑ Spring (February โ April): Plant early to take advantage of soft spring rains and moderate temperatures before extreme summer humidity sets in.
- โ๏ธ Summer (May โ August): Intense heat stresses young root growth. Keep planting minimal; focus on deep hydration and a 3-inch layer of protective mulch.
- ๐ Fall (September โ November): The gold standard season. Warm soil allows continuous root establishment well into late autumn without top-growth stress.
- โ๏ธ Winter (December โ February): Soil rarely freezes. Excellent for installing dormant bare-root stock, evergreen hedges, and groundcovers.
5. High-Elevation & Mountain West (Zones 3โ5)
- ๐ฑ Spring (May โ June): A short, compressed spring window. Wait until heavy snowpacks melt and soil drains before planting hardy trees, conifers, and rock-garden perennials.
- โ๏ธ Summer (July โ August): Intense UV and drying winds require consistent moisture monitoring.
- ๐ Fall (Late August โ October): Plant early. Winter arrives fast at high altitudesโaim to get all roots in the ground at least 6โ8 weeks before the ground freezes solid.
- โ๏ธ Winter (November โ April): Extended freeze and heavy snow cover. Wrap young deciduous tree trunks to guard against sunscald and rodent damage.
6. Southwest & Arid West (Zones 8โ11)
- ๐ฑ Spring (February โ April): A short, active window to install desert-adapted perennials and drought-hardy shrubs before triple-digit temperatures arrive.
- โ๏ธ Summer (May โ August): Avoid new plantings. Protect existing plants with shade cloth, deep drip hydration, and heavy organic mulch.
- ๐ Fall (October โ November): The primary growing season begins. Plant native trees, privacy hedges, and drought-tolerant groundcovers.
- โ๏ธ Winter (December โ January): Warm winter soils allow continuous root development. Perfect for bare-root stock and landscape installations.
7. Pacific Northwest (Zones 7โ9)
- ๐ฑ Spring (March โ May): Extended, gentle moisture allows broadleaf evergreens, shade groundcovers, and flowering shrubs to establish naturally.
- โ๏ธ Summer (July โ August): PNW summers are dry; keep newly planted stock watered regularly during dry intervals.
- ๐ Fall (September โ November): Prime planting season. Returning autumn rains eliminate watering chores and root stress completely.
- โ๏ธ Winter (December โ February): Gentle maritime climate. Plant hardy shrubs, trees, and groundcovers whenever soil is workable.
Planting Tip: For microclimate guidance tailored to your specific county, consult your local cooperative extension office. We coordinate shipping schedules so your order arrives exactly when your local soil is ready for planting.

How Your Plants Are Shipped & Care Instructions
To ensure a seamless transition to your garden, please follow the specific steps below based on the type of plant you ordered:
๐ฆ 1. Container-Grown Plants
Our container-grown plants are shipped with fully established root systems nestled in premium potting media.
- Unpack & Water Instantly: Carefully remove the protective packaging and check the soil moisture. Give the pot a thorough watering until moisture runs out the bottom drainage holes.
- Acclimation Period: Place your container plant in a sheltered, partially shaded location for 2 to 3 days to help it recover from transit before moving it to full sun.
- Planting Depth: Plant at the exact same depth it was sitting in its shipping container, gently loosening the outer roots if they are encircling the root ball.
- Moisture Control: Keep the soil consistently damp but never soggy for the first few weeks as the roots expand.
๐ฑ 2. Seedling & Liner Bare-Root Plants
Seedlings and liners are young, vibrant plants shipped without pots to make transit highly efficient.
- Immediate Attention: Unpack immediately upon arrival. If you cannot plant them right away, keep the roots moist and store them in a cool, shaded location out of the wind.
- Hydration First: Soak the roots in a bucket of water for 1 to 2 hours right before planting to wake them up.
- Planting: Spread the roots out naturally in the planting hole. Ensure the crown (where the roots meet the stem) sits right at the soil level. Water thoroughly to settle the soil around the roots.
๐พ 3. Groundcover Bare-Root Plants
Groundcover bare-root bundles (like Vinca minor or Sedum) are shipped dormant or semi-dormant, ready to take off once in the ground.
- Check Moisture: Open the bundle immediately. The packing material around the roots should be damp. If planting is delayed a day or two, lightly mist the roots to keep them from drying out.
- Soak Before Planting: Soak the root systems in water for about an hour before putting them in the ground.
- Spacing & Depth: Plant them at the same depth they were growing previously, firming the soil gently over the roots to eliminate any air pockets. Water heavily right after planting and keep the area consistently moist until established.
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

Shipping live plants
Live plants need more care in transit than a book or a pair of shoes. Our packing and shipping schedule is built to get them to you healthy.
- We ship MondayโWednesday only, so plants never sit in a warehouse over a weekend.
- Order by Tuesday at noon CT to ship the same week. Later orders ship the following MondayโWednesday.
- Transit time is 2โ5 business days to the contiguous 48 states.
- You'll get a tracking email as soon as your order leaves our greenhouse.
We no longer ship orders to Hawaii, APO/FPO addresses, Puerto Rico, or other addresses outside the continental United States.
Alaska orders: Most plant orders going to Alaska can be sent through Priority Mail. We will estimate shipping charges and additional charges may apply. Shipping FedEx and UPS to Alaska addresses is very costly, so if we can't ship via Priority Mail, we don't ship. If you have questions concerning an order going to Alaska, please contact us at info@greenwoodnursery.com.
