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.

Valencia Orange Tree: A Glass of Fresh Juice From Your Own Backyard
If you've ever poured a glass of orange juice, you've tasted a Valencia (Citrus sinensis 'Valencia'). This is the orange the whole juice industry was built around, and growing your own means picking it sun-warmed off the branch instead of grabbing a carton off a shelf. Valencias ripen late and hold on the tree for months, so one tree stretches your orange season deep into summer. The fruit is deeply sweet, nearly seedless, and so full of juice the thin rind can barely hold it. Grow one, and store-bought juice will never taste the same.
- Grafted & grown by citrus experts to ensure your success. Your tree arrives strong, true-to-type, and ready to fruit at home.
- The juice orange, by definition. No other orange gives you this much sweet, richly colored juice per fruit.
- Ripens late and lingers. Fruit holds firmly on the tree for months, so you pick at your own pace.
- Nearly seedless. Easy to peel, segment, and squeeze, with barely a seed to spit out.
- Two crops at once. A mature tree often carries ripe fruit and next season's blossoms together.
The Freshest Juice You'll Ever Pour
Store juice is squeezed weeks or months before you drink it, so it loses its bright, fresh taste. Your own tree fixes that. You pick a sun-warmed Valencia and squeeze it into your glass the same morning, so every sip is sweet, vivid, and packed with vitamin C. That's fresh-squeezed juice on demand, for pennies, right off your own branch.
Oranges When Everyone Else Has Run Out
Most orange trees finish in winter, but the Valencia is just getting started. It ripens in spring and holds its fruit through summer, so you're enjoying fresh oranges long after the season usually ends. And because the fruit hangs on the tree for months, you harvest whenever you like. No rush, no waste, just a longer citrus season all your own.
Beauty and Scent All Year
The Valencia earns its spot even between harvests. Its glossy evergreen leaves stay green year-round, and its clouds of white blossoms fill the air with a sweet, honey-like scent each spring. Then it hangs heavy with bright oranges. So it's a handsome landscape tree and a working juice source in one.
Grown in a Citripot for a Stronger Tree
Your tree ships in a citripot, a tall, narrow container built to grow better roots. Ordinary pots make roots circle round and round until they choke the plant. The citripot stops that. It guides the roots to grow straight down and branch into a dense, healthy web instead of tangling.
Here's what that means for you. Stronger roots pull in water and food more easily, so your tree arrives sturdy and takes off faster once you plant it. You get healthier growth, greener leaves, more blossoms, and a plant that settles in with less fuss. It's the difference between a tree that struggles and one that thrives from day one.
For Florida Gardeners: Plant It Your Way
If you live in Florida, you get the best of both worlds. Plant this orange in a warm, sunny spot in your yard, or keep it in a large pot on the patio, whichever suits you. In the ground it grows into a full, heavy-bearing tree. In a container it stays more compact and easy to move if a rare cold snap rolls in. Either way, you get sweet, juicy oranges right where you cook and relax.
Please Note: We Can Only Ship to Florida
Because of agricultural rules that protect citrus trees from pests and disease, we can only ship this Valencia Orange to customers inside Florida. If that's you, you're in luck, this tree was practically made for your warm, sunny climate. If you live outside Florida, we're sorry we can't send it your way just yet.
Don't Miss Out on Fresh-Squeezed Oranges
Fresh, sun-ripened juice oranges are a treat no carton can match, and here's a tree that hands you months of them. It ships fast, arrives healthy in its citripot, and comes backed by our guarantee. Every glass of store juice is a reminder of the fresh ones you could be pouring at home. Florida gardeners, order your Valencia Orange Tree today, before you wish you had.
