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

- 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.

Jade Plant Friendship Tree (Crassula Ovata): Easy Care, Long Living Symbol of Good Luck
If you're looking for a low-maintenance, long-living houseplant with a touch of symbolism, the Crassula ovata - commonly known as the Jade Succulent - is a perfect choice. Known for its thick, fleshy, green leaves with red-tipped edges, this resilient plant has been cherished for generations, often believed to bring prosperity and good fortune.
What Makes Crassula ovata Special?
- Symbol of Wealth & Good Luck – In Feng Shui, Jade Plants are associated with financial success and positive energy. Many people place them near entrances or in offices to attract prosperity.
- Low Maintenance & Drought-Tolerant – If you sometimes forget to water your plants, this one will forgive you. Despite its exotic appearance, Crassula ovata is one of the easiest succulents to care for.
- Unique, Finger-Like Leaves – The plump, oval-shaped green leaves have a distinctive red margin around the tips, especially when exposed to bright sunlight.
- Long Lifespan – This plant can live for decades, often passed down through generations as a cherished family heirloom.
- Seasonal Blooms – In late fall to early winter, mature plants can surprise you with clusters of delicate, pinkish-white, star-shaped flowers, adding an elegant touch to their already charming structure.
Is It Pet-Friendly?
Unfortunately, no. Crassula ovata is toxic to pets if ingested. Keep it out of reach of curious cats and dogs.
Why You’ll Love Having a Jade Plant
- Perfect for Beginners – Thrives on neglect and can handle occasional watering mistakes.
- Air-Purifying – Helps improve indoor air quality by absorbing toxins.
- Compact & Versatile – Great for small apartments, office desks, or as a thoughtful gift.
