Shipping Dormant Plants:

Between November and April, when you order plants from us, there is a high chance that they will be in a dormant state for winter. Leaf-bearing trees and plants naturally shed their leaves and small branches during cold winter months for their health and well-being. This is a normal process.

If you are uncertain about the health of your plant during dormancy, you can conduct a simple scratch test. Scratch a small area of bark on the trunk using a coin or your fingernail. If you see green, it indicates that your tree is alive and conserving energy for winter. If you see brown or black underneath the top layer, it is likely that the tree is dead.

Cancellations & Returns:

Once a purchase has been shipped and is with the mailing carrier, it cannot be cancelled. Since our plants are harvested per order, we cannot accept returns. If your plant has an issue upon arrival that you are unsatisfied with, please contact us as soon as possible. We can only address issues brought to our attention within 7 days of delivery. In some cases, we may request additional information or photos to assist with resolving the problem.

If we determine that the plant has been damaged, has pests or disease, or was lost during shipment, we will issue a one-time refund or provide a free replacement, at our discretion. However, we retain the right to refuse refunds or replacements for any plant. Claims opened more than 7 days after delivery are not eligible for refunds or replacements. Please ensure timely submission of any requested information or photos to facilitate the processing of your claim. All decisions regarding refunds and replacements are final and made at our sole discretion.
