Features
We only measure the size of the tree itself, so without pot.
The USDA has a site where you can put in your zip code to know exactly what zone you are in.
Absolutely! We grow everything from a backyard so you most definitely can.
Here we always check before watering. Soil may look dry up top but if you dig 2 - 3 inches into the soil it could be humid. If you dig and its humid your tree does not need water. If you dig and its dry then you tree needs water.
We do our best to bring our customers healthy trees, but once they leave our hands we expect that our customers try their best as well to keep their trees happy.
For the cold we recommend that customers use our Anti-Frost Blankets
For the Heat we recommend our customers to put the tree under a bigger tree for shade or a tarp that still allows some sunlight to pass through works as well.
We strongly recommend to use soil with great drainage for fruit trees as too much humidity can cause root rot, which a leading cause for tree deaths.
The safest way to plant trees is but cutting the bottom lid off then removing it and placing the root ball in the hole. You can choose to leave the plastic sides of the pot on the tree or remove them. when handling the root ball use caution, if the root ball falls apart your tree can die. We sell fully rooted trees but there's still a chance the root ball can fall apart.
