When Best to Ship Trees?

Generally, most trees, fast growing trees, slow-growing trees, and especially evergreen trees, are best shipped from October through early Spring. Best after they become dormant in the Fall, and outside of this time period, they can be iffy...

Take delivery early! Temporarily plant the trees in pots (or clumped together in a single pot) and hold them in the garage or other protected area until 'your' conditions are ready to plant. This way, the trees arrive dormant and are held in dormancy pending your climate warming up. Then they are better acclaimated and immediately available!

Think about it... plan on it. Any questions, do ask us...
