Shipping policy

Our fruit trees and berries are delivered to you bareroot during their winter dormancy from January through May depending on USDA zone. Trees are shipped with your invoice and helpful planting directions. There is no minimum quantity required but shipping rate for an individual tree is expensive since UPS/Fed Ex charge a dimensional weight and an additional handling fee to ship a tree

If you live in a region where the ground isn’t frozen, the trees should be planted at the earliest available ship date. Many folks confuse “garden planting” with bareroot planting. Bareroot trees must be planted while they are dormant and long before the last frost date for your area.

Please note: Snow or frost will not hurt a dormant tree. For most of USDA Zones 3-5 , this means planting in late March/early April while there is still sufficient moisture in the soil. Early planting can often make the difference in the first year between a vigorous tree and one that struggles for survival. It allows the tree to send out initial roots months before bud break. If your soil is too sloppy or frozen when the trees arrive, “heel” the trees in (cover the roots) with moist soil or sand in a shady place to protect the roots from freezing until your ground thaws/dries sufficiently. In areas where the ground is frozen solid during the winter, notify us when the order is placed and we will place your order in cold storage for mid March or early April shipping date. No cancellations can be allowed once in cold storage.

We ship our trees out January through May. Our trees are packaged in a new, cardboard box with the roots tucked in a sturdy plastic bag with moist shredded paper inside tightly bound with string. This will insure the trees roots will remain sufficiently moist upon arrival to your home. We also include the appropriate planting instructions for the trees, grapes or berries. Please advise immediately if your package arrives damaged.

Shipping Charges

NOTE: All orders are shipped using UPS. We only ship within the U.S. However, if you live out side of the U.S., you still may purchase from us if you select a shipping destination within the U.S.. This will give you an option to purchase our products as gifts for family and friends who live within the U.S.

These shipping charges are for trees and other items purchased at the same time. If you purchase other items separately without a tree purchase, you will only be charged for the actual UPS shipping cost.
