We ship many plants year round, depending on field conditions and the weather. If you want shipment during the months of November to February, please request a ship date when you order. Unless an earlier ship date is confirmed, we will use the below shipping schedule chart as a guide for first ship dates to the respective Zones.
If you request a ship date in the Notes Section of your order, we will try to ship during your requested week; however, ship dates are approximate and subject to weather and field conditions. Shipments are made by UPS, USPS Priority Mail or common carrier as deemed appropriate.
We are committed to sending you the best plants available. All of our plant items are carefully identified, packaged and shipped. Many of our plants are shipped bare root and should be unpacked immediately, and either potted or planted. We ship bare root plants to the 48 contiguous United States, potted containers are not shipped to CA. Orders destined for AZ, CA, OR, or WA are treated with low toxicity pesticide per state regulations. See below for Canada, contact us for shipments to other destinations for minimums and terms.
Hardgood products are typically shipped within 3 to 14 days, often direct from the manufacturer. Shipping costs are calculated via the Shopping Cart based on the product and destination.
Plant orders placed by 12:00 pm on Friday, as a general rule of thumb, will be shipped the following Monday or Tuesday, subject to weather and backlog . Plant orders received in March, April and May may anticipate a one to two week delay due to volume. See Shipping Schedule below for orders placed during winter months. If you have a specific desired shipping date, please let us know and we will attempt to accommodate your request.
