Your plants will be shipped in specially designed packaging to protect young trees and delicate plants during transit. Most of our trees are 1–2 years old and typically measure under 70cm in height. All plants are cell-grown in trays (similar to plug plants), which allows for safe transport and easy planting with intact roots.

What to Do When Your Plants Arrive

Please follow these care and planting instructions promptly upon receiving your delivery:

1. Remove all packaging and protective materials (plastic wrap, cardboard, etc.)

2. Check moisture: Ensure the root plugs are slightly moist. Water lightly if dry.

3. Choose a suitable planting site:

   • Well-drained soil

   • Full sun or partial shade

   • Room for the plant to grow to full size

4. Prepare the soil:

   • Loosen compacted or clay-heavy soil before planting

5. Plant properly:

   • Dig a hole slightly wider and deeper than the root plug

   • Cover the root plug with approximately ¾ inch (2cm) of soil

   • Firm the soil around the plant to eliminate air pockets

6. Keep the area around the plant weed-free

If You Need to Delay Planting

If you need to transport the plants elsewhere, you can keep them in the original packaging for up to 1 week from the shipping date. However, unpacking and planting them as soon as possible is always best.

If you’re unable to plant immediately, you can temporarily store your plants for up to 4 weeks outdoors by:

• Removing all packaging, including any plastic or mesh around the roots

• Placing them in a shallow container or tray

• Keeping them away from strong wind

• Making sure the root plugs remain moist
