Spring shipping update

Tree and plant orders are continuing to ship out daily. We have extended our shipping season one more week to handle our busiest spring yet. About 80% of our tree orders have shipped, if you are waiting for your shipping confirmation with tracking, expect to hear from us soon.

It was a cold April and trees here are still fully dormant. Some of our stock is just starting to show green tips on the leaves, but it is still in great shape to mail out.

Seed orders are also shipping out. We have had some delays with our usual 5 to 7 day seed turnaround, and some seed orders placed in April are running up to 3 weeks. If you are waiting on seeds, thank you for your patience, and we are quickly catching up. If you want to upgrade letter mail shipping to expedited, just email us.

We have updated our local delivery options. If you selected local pickup or delivery for your trees, we can offer a free drop off in the Brandon MB city limits on one of our mail runs, or we can ship you the box.

Tubers and large nuts held for spring shipping are starting to ship out this week, including stratified walnuts, butternuts, Ohio buckeye, and Jerusalem artichokes. If you ordered through the winter and selected hold for spring, expect shipping in the next week. These will go out expedited with tracking.

Thanks to everyone who ordered this winter. We are a small backyard nursery and have had a great winter and spring season. Thank you for your patience. If you send us an email, expect a response within 24 to 48 hours while we are out in the greenhouse packing and shipping.
