How are ex-ground trees prepared for delivery?

All ex-ground trees are carefully dug with their rootball intact to preserve the root system and minimize transplant shock. Each tree is stabilized and treated with specialized solutions to promote health during transit. The rootball is wrapped to retain moisture and protect it from damage, and water crystals are added to provide essential nutrients and hydration for the journey. These meticulous preparations ensure your tree remains healthy and ready for planting, whether it’s traveling across the country or overseas.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery times vary depending on your location and the size of your order. Domestic deliveries typically take 1–2 weeks, while international shipping may take several weeks depending on the destination. Contact us for specific timelines.
