From our nursery to your doorstep
Ordering live plants online should feel exciting, not stressful. We only ship healthy, well-rooted trees and plants, packed to arrive ready to thrive.

We always
- Ship plants with healthy, developed roots, so they establish faster at your home
- Put plant health first, not minimizing shipping costs

- Ship large items more efficiently
How we measure your trees
When you order a 5–6 ft. tree, you get a tree that's 5–6 ft. tall above the soil, not "including the container." You'll know what to expect when it arrives, and what it will look like in the ground.
