Not responsible for incidental and consequential damages; we are not responsible for any amount exceeding purchase price (exclusive of shipping and processing).

CANCELLATION POLICY

Only cancellation requests received on the same day your order is received are guaranteed to be honored.  All other cancellation requests must be in writing, but will not be honored if in our judgement the order is irretrievably in process.  Be sure to include your name and address with your request.  We appreciate your understanding.

SUBSTITUTION POLICY

Orders are filled by item number exactly as received.  If an item/variety is unavailable, we reserve the right to substitute an item of equal or greater value.

SHIPPING POLICY

Please allow 2-4 weeks for your order to be processed; we will then ship based on many factors including weather, availability of the plants, and the appropriate planting time for your area. Orders are not shipped within a given time frame of receipt but rather based on many factors including proper planting time, weather, and product availability.  Seeds and hard goods generally ship first, followed by nursery stock.  Keep in mind that plants and trees can be safely transplanted during the summer—just be sure to keep well-watered as with any planting during the first year.  We appreciate your business.

ZONES OF HARDINESS

Zone designations are approximate. Many plants can be grown in one zone “colder” than rated by placing in a protected location or by proper winter care (such as mulching). Just try to think of a spot in your landscape that is a little more protected.

WHOLESALE POLICY

Our catalog is not for wholesale use. Our warranty does not cover products that are intended for resale. Contact us directly for large quantity pricing and terms.

RETURN CHECK POLICY

All returned checks are subject to the state allowable service fee. Returned checks may be electronically debited for the full face value of the check and the state allowable service fee.

ILLUSTRATIONS/IMAGES: The pictures in our catalog and our website are of mature plants in the best condition. With proper care, the young plants you buy can and should resemble catalog illustrations when they reach maturity.

PLEASE NOTE: The website can be updated at any time which will supersede previous pricing and information.
