We ship bare-root seedlings only while they are dormant to support successful transplanting and establishment. Shipping windows vary by USDA Plant Hardiness Zone so seedlings arrive during an appropriate planting period.
Actual shipping dates also depend on tree dormancy, regional weather and conditions in transit. We may delay shipment during extreme cold or other weather that could place seedlings at risk.
