We ship all of May and into early June.
Yes! We sure do.
We begin to take orders for next spring delivery in August. All trees are on a first-come, first-reserved basis. The sooner you place your order in the fall/winter, the sooner in May you receive it! Our suggested deadline is April 1, but we sell trees until we are sold out!
The seedlings range in size from approx. 8-20 inches, depending on the variety. On average, most of them are in the 18” range. We try our best to have the approximate size on each product description, or give us a call and ask about a specific variety.
