All orders are carefully packed by our volunteers so they stay fresh and healthy.

 

No U-Haul needed! Our seedlings are only 2-3 years old, so they are generally small. This is a bundle of 25 bare-rooted balsam fir.

 

Some of our stock comes in 3-inch pots. This is a cinnamon fern.

 

Most of our plants are sold as bare-root seedlings unless otherwise noted in our brochure.  You can expect to receive a 1-4 year old plant that is generally 6-24 inches in height.  We strive to deliver healthy plants.  All bare-roots are protected by damp packing and carefully wrapped to protect its’ root system.  It is vital for these plants to be planted promptly or “heeled in” if planting is delayed.  It is also important to water them regularly throughout the summer season.  We cannot guarantee their survival after orders have been picked up because we will not have control over the stock.
