Shipping information Shipping Note: Our fruit trees and berries are delivered to you bareroot during their winter dormancy from January through May depending on USDA zone. Trees are shipped with your invoice and helpful planting directions. There is no minimum quantity required but shipping rate for an individual tree is expensive since UPS/Fed Ex charge a dimensional weight and an additional handling fee to ship a tree. On that note, we ship orders of one to three trees in a 48-inch box. These trees are professionally pruned prior to shipping so they are ready to plant upon arrival You'll find it's cost effective to consider a handful of trees, vines or our helpful Tree Starter Kits.
