Potted Plants: The plants are shipped in their 4' pots, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape to prevent movement during transit. This ensures the plant arrives with minimal damage—safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years. Most plants go dormant in fall and winter, losing most of their leaves, which may appear dead and dry—this is normal. They will flush out in spring.
Note: We cannot ship certain plants and sizes to California due to restrictions placed by the Department of Agriculture.
