ORDERING All orders are booked subject to crop growing conditions or errors in count and with the understanding that same shall be void should injury befall the stock from fire, frost, flood, drought or other causes beyond our control. Our minimum order for those wishing to receive shipping by truck is $750.00. There is no minimum order for UPS, airfreight or those who pickup at the nursery.
SHIPPING We use combination or pool trucks throughout the continental United States, which greatly reduces the freight costs as compared L.C.L., auto freight or express shipment. Smaller plants can be shipped UPS upon request, if you have a need for this type of shipping let us know and we will quote out on costs on a case-by-case basis.
BUNDLED QUANTITIES All bare root prices listed in our catalog are based on bundled quantities and will fall within the following guidelines with few exceptions:
1 ¼ in. caliper and larger are normally in bundles or 3 and sometimes 2.
2 year top plants, which are 1 in. caliper or smaller are normally in bundles of 5.
1 year top plants usually referred to as a whip are in bundles of 10.
Orders placed for less than bundled quantities will be charged a small handling fee due to the extra labor involved in pulling, cutting, retying, re-heeling and re-labeling. These charges will range depending on the size and will apply per bundle; $ 2.25 for 1 year,
$ 3.25 for 2 year and $ 4.00 for 1 ¼ in. caliper and larger.
Please note that any need to break bundles which is not generated by the customers order are a result of our internal adjustments and will NOT be charged this fee.
PACKING CHARGES Upon request we will apply extra root protection for bare root trees in the form of a root bale. Cost will vary depending on amount and root mass. If you require this type of service inquire for pricing.
INSPECTION CERTIFICATES All shipments will be furnished with the appropriate inspection certificates.
GRADE STANDARDS As a general rule our grade standards are in keeping with those within the trade, which are adopted from the guidelines adopted by the American Association of Nurserymen. In some rare cases we may vary from these standards when the caliper of the plant is not up to grade but the top meets the criteria. Usually this occurs on some of our more rare offerings, which are difficult to fit into the standards mentioned above.
