Our Story

From our nursery to your yard

We're a bare-root nursery, so trees travel while they're dormant. Here's what happens after you order.

  1. 1

    Order online

    Order any time of year. Your plants are set aside for you as soon as you check out.

  2. 2

    We wait for dormancy

    Trees ship only while they're dormant and the ground can be worked, usually November and April. Seeds and scions ship through fall and winter as orders come in.

  3. 3

    Dug, checked and packed

    We dig your plants, check every one, trim tall grafted trees to fit the box, and pack the roots in sawdust or shredded paper, reusing packing materials when we can.

  4. 4

    Shipped or picked up?

    Shipped to you

    Flat-rate shipping: $19.99, or $29.99 with grafted trees or larger seedlings, and $14.99 for scions only. Free on orders of $200 or more.

    or

    Picked up at the farm

    Choose local pickup at checkout. We'll email when it's ready to set a time, usually a Saturday. Please come by appointment only.

  5. 5

    Unpack and plant

    Open the box right away and check that everything arrived in good shape. Plant as soon as you can. Need a few days? Keep the roots moist. Longer? Heel the plants in for a week or two.

  6. 6

    Backed by our guarantees

    Plants that arrive damaged or dried out are replaced or refunded if you send photos within 3 days. No new growth by the end of the first spring? Email us.
