All trees are shipped dormant, with roots protected, out of our walk in coolers. All perennials are shipped actively growing in pots out of our greenhouses.
During the transition from winter to spring we time our shipments based on USDA Zone and your local weather. This gives us a general guideline for the best time to ship. These dates are not set in stone. We can ship earlier or later provided you let us know. If you want us to ship earlier, we recommend you provide protection for your plants by keeping them potted indoors until the time is right to plant outside.
