Shipping

All trees delivered as part of our membership packages are shipped for free. Shipping costs for our nursery trees are $4.95 for any order under $50. Orders over $50 are shipped for free.

Trees are shipped at the right time for planting where you live. Credit cards are charged no more than 30 days prior to shipment.

Guarantee

Your order is guaranteed to arrive in a good, healthy condition, at a suitable time for planting. Each tree and plant is guaranteed to grow, or we'll replace it at one half the original price plus shipping and handling. Please contact us.

Refunds

All refunds will be provided as a credit to the credit card used at the time of purchase within five (5) business days upon receipt of the returned merchandise.

Nursery trees: Free replacement or 100% refund is issued if trees arrive in poor condition or if trees do not survive within one year of planting. After one year, 1/2 price replacement is offered (original price plus S&H.)

Membership Trees: Free replacement or 100% refund is issued if trees arrive in poor condition or trees do not survive within one year of planting. After one year or if multiple replacements have been requested on the same package, then we ask for $3.50 to cover shipping & handling.
