How We Ship Your Plants
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 never cut corners on roots
Some nurseries cut corners to save on shipping. A strong root system is the foundation for long-term success, so your plant should arrive ready to thrive, not struggling to recover from shortcuts.
We never
- Ship bare-root plants
- Cut roots to fit a plant into a small box
We always
- Ship plants with healthy, developed roots, so they establish faster at your home
- Put plant health first, not minimizing shipping costs

Support materials keep your plant upright and steady.
Pot & root protection
Extra protection around the pot and roots.
Reinforced boxes
Larger trees ship in oversize boxes built for their size and structure.
Several plants in one box? That's on purpose. It spreads the weight evenly, which keeps your plants safe and secure throughout delivery.
Shipped with FedEx
- Ships Monday–Friday
- Most orders ship the next business day

Over the years, we've found FedEx to be the best carrier for live plants, especially larger items. Want a different date? You can request a custom ship date.

FedEx delivers quickest across the country.
Gentle handling
They're the most gentle with live plants.
Less plant stress
Faster transit means less time in the box.
Nurseries on both coasts
We ship from multiple locations across the country, including both the East Coast and West Coast. This lets us:
- Deliver faster in more regions
- Reduce time in transit for your plants
- 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.
