(4 things you should know before you order)
1. Understand who you are buying from
We are a reforestation nursery that makes it easy for Canadians
to purchase large quantities of tree, shrub, and berry seedlings
at low prices.
Shop with us if you want convenience, selection, low prices,
outstanding service, a guaranteed ship date, and high quality
stock.
Our customers tend to enjoy doing things themselves and watching
their trees grow.
We grow our trees for maximum survival, not height or aesthetics.
We mostly grow 1-2 year old trees because they have the best
survival rates and are easier to ship in the mail.
We guarantee every
tree we sell.
Note: if your project demands a specific shape, height and
instant beauty, you should consider buying older caliper trees
from your local tree nursery.
Note: while we report heights on our website, heights are not
guaranteed.
2. Understand when you can buy your trees
We open our online store in November, right after we harvest our
trees.
And we close in early June as we run out of trees.
Because we sell our seedlings on a first-come, first-served basis,
it is to your advantage to purchase your seedlings early.
3. Understand when you'll get your trees
Unlike most other tree suppliers, you get to choose your
preferred ship date
(mid-April to mid-June) during your checkout.
While shipping dates are certain, arrival dates are not.
So, give yourself some flexibility for planting times.
4. Understand how buying from us works
|
We plant most of our seedlings in styroblocks in our
greenhouses.
|
|
And then we let them grow. (This nursery grows over
12 million seedlings every year.)
|
|
We harvest the trees from the styroblocks and make them
into bundles in the fall.
|
|
Deciduous trees are bundled, frozen, and shipped with
their leaves off.
They might not look like much but you can be assured
that they are very much alive and will be ready to
do great things.
|
|
Bareroot trees look even more alarming to people who
are used to buying their trees from garden centres.
But trust us when we tell you millions of trees are
successfully shipped frozen every year in Canada.
It's quite safe.
|
|
We group the bundles into boxes.
|
|
We freeze all our trees in our cold storage facility
for the winter.
|
|
At some point before the ship date you chose during
checkout, our workers will collect your trees
and begin to pack your order.
|
|
They will label and box your trees.
|
|
Every order gets planting instructions so
you'll know exactly what to do when
your trees arrive.
|
|
Many people are surprised to learn just how many
trees we can pack in a single box.
Unless you are ordering thousands of trees,
we'll likely be able to ship your entire order
in one or two reasonably sized boxes.
|
|
When your ship date arrives, we'll load your frozen
trees in a Canada Post truck for delivery to your
shipping address.
You should get an automated
email from Canada Post letting you know your
order shipped.
Expect your trees to arrive around the expected
arrival date printed on your receipt.
|
|
If you receive your trees quickly, they may still
be frozen (as shown to the left).
Just follow the
pre-planting
tree care guide
and the
planting
guide and you'll be fine.
