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.

Persian 'Bearss' Lime Tree – A Taste of the Tropics in Your Own Backyard
Add a touch of the tropics to your landscape with the Persian 'Bearss' Lime Tree, a highly productive citrus variety known for its seedless, juicy limes and easy maintenance. Whether you're looking to elevate your cooking with fresh lime zest, whip up refreshing cocktails, or enjoy its ornamental beauty, this lime tree will become a beloved feature in your garden.
Abundant Seedless Limes with Superior Flavor
The Persian 'Bearss' Lime Tree produces large, seedless limes that are perfect for a wide range of culinary uses. These bright green, oval-shaped fruits are slightly larger than traditional Key limes, offering a refreshingly tart flavor. With a heavy fruiting period from late summer through early winter, you’ll enjoy a consistent supply of limes for drinks, marinades, desserts, and more. This tree’s bountiful harvest ensures your kitchen is always stocked with homegrown citrus.
Fast-Growing and High-Yielding
One of the standout features of the Persian Lime Tree is its fast growth and impressive yields. It begins producing fruit within the first 1-2 years after planting, so you won’t have to wait long for your first harvest. Grown in a container, this tree reaches a manageable height of 6-10 feet, making it ideal for patios or small yards. When planted in the ground, it can grow between 15-20 feet, providing a beautiful focal point in larger spaces. Its compact size and dense canopy also add to its visual appeal, making it a perfect ornamental addition to your landscape.
Cold-Hardy and Adaptable
The Persian 'Bearss' Lime Tree is one of the most cold-tolerant citrus varieties, thriving in USDA hardiness zones 9-11. If you live in a cooler climate (zones 4-8), simply plant it in a container and bring it indoors during the winter months. Its adaptability makes it possible for homeowners across the country to enjoy fresh limes regardless of their region’s climate. Plus, its cold-hardiness means less worry about frost damage, making it a low-maintenance option for citrus lovers.
Low-Maintenance and Easy to Grow
Even beginner gardeners can successfully grow the Persian Lime Tree. It thrives in full sun, requiring at least 6-8 hours of sunlight per day, and prefers well-drained soil. Once established, it becomes relatively drought-tolerant and requires minimal care beyond regular watering and occasional fertilizing with a citrus-specific formula. Occasional pruning will promote healthy growth and increase fruit production. With its low-maintenance nature, this tree is perfect for busy gardeners or those new to citrus growing.
