Fall Shipping
To be sure your bare root trees arrive in a strong and healthy condition, we ship them in a dormant or "sleeping" state. This means your trees have experienced 2-3 hard frosts and are already prepared to withstand the cold winter conditions. They can even be planted up until the ground is frozen solid! Also note, snow on the ground does not mean your soil is frozen. In order to freeze, your day time low temperature has to stay below 32°F for generally 4-6 weeks. If possible, plant your trees within 5 days upon arrival.
Spring Shipping
Your trees can be planted from the time the frost first leaves the ground through late spring. A Planting Guide containing the instructions is included with every order. It is best to plant your trees within 5 days of their arrival. If it is not possible to plant within this time frame, it is recommended that your trees be heeled in.
Nursery Trees
We’re sorry, but nursery trees cannot be shipped to AK, AZ, HI, U.S. territories, or countries other than the United States. This is due to the agricultural laws within these locations.
Membership Trees
Trees you receive for becoming a member
Please note that, due to lengthy inspection times and other restrictions, we are unable to ship membership tree packages to HI, U.S. territories, APOs, FPOs and countries other than the United States.
