How is my order shipped?
Trees and seeds are normally shipped via postal courier. This is usually a 2 day delivery, to major centers across Canada.
When is my order delivered?
We deliver trees via postal courier, so you should receive your trees 5 days to 1 week before your event. Even if you order months in advance, we time it so that your order will arrive at the appropriate time. When we send out decorated trees, you should receive them on a Tuesday or a Wednesday (assuming a weekend wedding). Kits and tree seedlings only, should be received one week before the wedding. The courier delivers them to your door so we must have an address where someone will be there to accept and sign for them. Orders will not be left, if no one is there to receive them.
How long will the trees last before being planted?
After being watered and put into their plastic bags the trees should be good for about 2 weeks. If you order decorated seedlings keep the trees closed in the box until the day of the wedding. If you order a kit or seedlings only, we will include instructions on watering the trees before they are wrapped. We suggest that the trees not be wrapped until as close to the wedding as possible. This will give your guests as much time as possible to plant them. If the trees are given in winter, they may be planted into small pots until outdoor conditions are suitable for planting.
What are the planting instructions?
Each seedling will come with detailed planting instructions. You may also view Seedling Care for further information.
How big are the tree seedlings that we will get?
The tree seedling will vary in size but most will be between 6-8 inches tall. The soil plug will add an additional 3 inches to the total height.
How big will the mature trees get?
The mature size of the trees can vary, due to soil, moisture, and temperature conditions; however, to learn more about trees, our Tree Species page provides some valuable information, which will help you make an informed decision.
Which hardiness zone is best for my trees?
