How We Ship Your Plants
Ordering live plants online should feel exciting, not stressful! We only ship healthy, well-rooted trees and plants!
Beware- not all plant nurseries are the same! Others can cut corners to save money:
- We never ship bareroot plants
- We never cut roots to fit into a small box
- We always ship plants with healthy, developed roots so they establish faster at your home
- We focus on plant health first- not minimizing shipping costs
A strong root system is the foundation for long-term success, and we believe your plant should arrive ready to thrive- not struggling to recover from shortcuts.
How we Select Your Plants
Once you place your order, our nursery team selects your plant and inspects it to make sure it meets our quality standards. Every plant we ship is chosen for:
- Strong health and vibrant foliage
- A well-developed root system
- Correct sizing based on your order
We take pride in sending plants that are ready to succeed when they arrive at your home. We try our best to exceed your expectations!
Once your plants are selected, we give them a drink of water before their journey. Then, we wrap each plant's roots up in a plastic bag, so that they do not dry out during shipping.
Carefully Packed & Protected
Live plants can’t be packed like ordinary boxes, so we do it differently.
Your plant is carefully secured inside a strong shipping box to protect it while traveling. Packaging may include:
- Support materials for stability
- Protection around the pot and roots
- Reinforced boxing for added protection
For larger trees, we use oversize boxes designed to safely accommodate the size and structure of your plant during shipping.
Sometimes, you will receive multiple plants inside a box. This is helpful because it can evenly distribute the weight throughout the box, which helps keeps the plants safe and secure throughout delivery.
Fast & Reliable with FedEx
Most Nationwide Plants orders ship with FedEx. Over the years, we’ve found FedEx to be the best carrier for live plants, especially larger items, because:
- They deliver quickest across the country
- They are the most gentle with live plants
- Faster transit means less plant stress
Once your order ships, we will email you tracking information so you can follow your delivery from our nursery to your doorstep.
We ship Monday through Friday. Most orders ship the next business day, unless you request a custom shipping date.
Multiple Nursery Locations
We ship from multiple locations across the country, including both the East Coast and West Coast. This allows us to:
- Deliver faster in more regions
- Reduce time in transit for your plants
- Ship large items more efficiently
How We Measure Your Trees
We measure tree height from the soil line, not including the pot.
That means when you order a 5-6 ft. tree, you’re getting a tree that is 5-6 ft. tall above the soil, not “including the container.” This gives you a good idea of what to expect when your trees arrive, and what they will look like when they are in the ground.
After Your Plants Arrive
It’s completely normal for a plant to look slightly different after shipping. Your plant has been traveling in a box, so you may notice:
- Minor leaf drop
- Soil that shifted slightly in the pot
- Temporary drooping from being in a darker environment
In most cases, your plant perks up quickly once it’s unboxed, watered (if needed), and placed in the proper environment.
Unboxing Your Plants
When your plants arrive, we recommend:
-
Open carefully (avoid cutting into foliage)
-
Remove all packing materials
-
Check soil moisture (If the soil feels dry, give it a thorough watering)
-
Let the plant recover (Give it a little fresh air after shipping)
If you ever have questions or concerns, we’re happy to help!
Our 30-Day Plant Promise
We stand behind every order we ship with our 30-Day Plant Promise.
If your plant dies within 30 days of delivery, we will replace it or refund it. We’ve found that if there are ever issues, they typically show up in the first 30 days- so this guarantee gives our customers real peace of mind.
If anything doesn’t look right, contact us and we’ll help you troubleshoot quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you ship bare-root plants?
No. We ship in soil with an established root system for the best success after delivery.
How fast will my order ship?
Most orders ship the next business day, unless you request a custom ship date.
Will my plant survive shipping?
Yes. Plants are resilient when packed correctly and shipped quickly. Our process is designed to protect your plant throughout transit.
What if my plant arrives droopy?
This is usually temporary from being in a dark box. Unbox promptly, check moisture, and allow time to adjust. If you’re concerned, reach out—we’re here to help.

Decorated Dwarf Alberta Spruce: A Living Holiday Tree Ready to Display
Bring instant holiday cheer to your home with the Decorated Dwarf Alberta Spruce. This compact living evergreen has the classic pyramid shape of a Christmas tree and arrives already dressed with miniature lights, colorful ornaments, and a festive tree topper.
Its small size makes it easy to enjoy on tabletops, porches, desks, entryways, and other spaces where a full-size Christmas tree may not fit. Best of all, this is a real evergreen that can keep growing long after the holidays are over.
Why You'll Love the Decorated Dwarf Alberta Spruce
Ready to Display: Miniature lights, colorful ornaments, and a tree topper give you a finished holiday look without extra decorating.
Classic Christmas Tree Shape: Dwarf Alberta Spruce naturally grows in a dense, neat pyramid that looks festive all on its own.
Living Evergreen: Enjoy real green foliage during the holidays instead of a decoration that gets packed away after the season.
Perfect for Small Spaces: Its compact size works well in apartments, offices, porches, entryways, and tabletop displays.
Easy Holiday Gift: The tree arrives decorated and ready to enjoy, making it a thoughtful gift for friends, family, coworkers, and hosts.
Enjoy It After the Holidays: In suitable climates, your Dwarf Alberta Spruce can continue growing outdoors after the decorations come off.
A Living Mini Christmas Tree
The Decorated Dwarf Alberta Spruce gives you the look of a traditional Christmas tree in a much smaller package.
Its dense evergreen needles and naturally symmetrical shape create a full holiday look without the need for heavy trimming or shaping.
Pre-Decorated for Instant Holiday Cheer
No need to spend time searching for tiny decorations. This holiday spruce arrives with miniature lights, colorful ornaments, and a festive tree topper.
Simply place it in your favorite spot and enjoy an easy seasonal display right away.
Where to Display Your Decorated Dwarf Alberta Spruce
Tabletops: Use it as a cheerful centerpiece or small-space Christmas tree.
Entryways: Welcome guests with a living evergreen near your front door or hallway.
Porches: Add classic Christmas style to a protected outdoor holiday display.
Offices and Desks: Bring festive greenery to a workspace without needing much room.
Apartments: Enjoy the look of a real Christmas tree even when floor space is limited.
Dwarf Alberta Spruce Light and Water Needs
Light: Keep your spruce in a bright location. If it is indoors for the holidays, choose a spot with plenty of natural light.
Watering: Check the soil regularly and water when the top begins to feel slightly dry. Keep the soil lightly moist, but never soggy.
Drainage: Make sure extra water can drain away so the roots do not sit in standing water.
How to Care for Your Living Holiday Spruce Indoors
Dwarf Alberta Spruce prefers cooler conditions, so keep it away from fireplaces, heating vents, radiators, and other strong heat sources.
Indoor heat can dry the soil and needles faster, so check the plant often and provide water when needed.
Enjoy Your Spruce After the Holidays
One of the best things about a living Dwarf Alberta Spruce is that the fun does not have to end when the holiday decorations come down.
Remove the lights and ornaments after the season, then continue caring for the plant. In suitable growing climates, it can be moved outdoors and eventually planted in the landscape.
A Holiday Gift That Keeps Growing
This decorated spruce is a fun alternative to flowers, gift baskets, and other short-lived holiday gifts.
Give it to a plant lover, teacher, host, coworker, friend, or family member for a festive gift they can continue enjoying after the holidays.
Big Holiday Cheer in a Small Evergreen
If you want a holiday plant with classic evergreen foliage, a natural Christmas tree shape, miniature lights, colorful ornaments, and lasting living beauty, the Decorated Dwarf Alberta Spruce is an excellent choice.
Bring home a Decorated Dwarf Alberta Spruce and enjoy an easy, ready-to-display holiday tree that can keep growing long after the season ends.
