Our last date for taking orders for the fall 2021 shipping season is 10/28/21. Because we inspect, hand select and hand wrap every plant to ensure the highest quality product and the safest shipping, it typically takes 1-2 weeks to process your order. However, please keep in mind that an order may ship out later depending on availability of plant material, weather conditions, and appropriate planting times. Therefore, we are not able to guarantee delivery within a certain time frame or on a certain date.  Also, many of our plants and trees are shipped in a dormant condition. Soak overnight in water before planting. In general, dormant items can be planted anytime your ground is not frozen. A late snow or frost will not harm a nursery stock item that is already dormant. On the other hand, these items can also be planted during warm weather--simply be sure to water well. Potted perennials can be planted outside any time after your last frost until your ground has frozen solid for the winter.
