Thank You...
Then once we have the order, it will be planned and scheduled to ship as quickly as practical. Seasonal factors greatly influence shipment. Spring is our busiest time, the "Spring-Rush", so order delays are possible, and email responses may be slowed down. Please have patience, we work hard to meet the ship dates. We do ship nearly all year, but that varies with plant condition and other factors. Shipment generally starts in the Fall and rolls through the Winter and Spring months. Summer is fine for selected items and locations, and we will advise you of that.
We generally prepare the orders in the early morning (and also at night during the Spring-Rush), and the plant materials are inspected and prepared before packaging. Although we prefer to ship dormant plants, we do ship during the growing season with careful preparation. During the growing season, we use a technique called "Trimmed for Transport", making the plants leafless, trimmed, and other means to reduce shipping-shock. The plants are kept moist and protected, then the boxes are kept in a cool location until picked up by the package carrier. Then once sent, we try to send you a Sent-Confirmation note that the order is on its way...
Then once you get the order, open the box and inspect the items. Make sure they are moist, and keep them in a dark cool place until you are ready to plant. Planting instructions are usually included, but they are simple common-sense guidelines. Keep plants protected from heat, wind, or cold, then once planted, water well. We suggest adding a thick mulch layer around them. It's pretty simple and straight forward... but always ask if you have questions.
That is pretty much it... We thank you again!

Booking and securing your order up to a year in advance is a good way to get what you want.
