Felco 6 Pruners
Ordering & Shipping Information
How To Order
Please note that our shipping season extends from the beginning of January to the first week of March. Your order cannot be shipped prior to that because our growers have to wait until the plants are dormant before they can ship to us. Hence, we do not receive our stock until the end of December. We cannot ship after the first week of March because we do not have cold storage and, under normal circumstances, most trees start breaking dormancy shortly thereafter.
Most of our trees are 5/8" caliper and will be about three to three and a half feet when you receive them. They will be bare root which means that they are dormant with no leaves, no soil around the roots and no pot. The roots will be packed in moist moss to keep them in good condition during shipping. Blueberries, figs and olives, as well as some berries and pomegranates, are shipped in pots. Planting of potted items can be delayed if necessary, but bareroot trees need to be planted as soon as possible after receipt. Please remember that they are very resistant to cold when dormant, so do not hesitate to plant unless the weather is particularly foul.
- We do not charge your credit card until right before we ship your order.

Choosing Your Shipping Time
We ship our trees in January, February and the first week of March. So how do you determine the best time for your trees to be shipped to you? First, as long as you can dig your soil, you can plant fruit trees even if the weather is cold. Dormant trees are very cold tolerant and, as long as they have not broken dormancy, the cold will not hurt them. It is always better to get the trees in as early as possible, so if you live in a mild winter area like Los Angeles or Phoenix or Miami, you do not want to wait until March to plant.
If your soil freezes in the winter, you will want to plant as soon as the soil can be dug. If that happens after we have stopped shipping, you have some options. The trees can be kept dormant by storing them in a cool, dark spot that stays above freezing (35 to 45 degrees). The roots can remain wrapped in the moss in which they are shipped. Just make sure that the moss and roots stay moist. You can also plant the trees in biodegradable pots until the ground can be worked. Once planted, place them in a bright area and treat like any other container plant until you can get them in the ground.
The basic idea is to get the trees planted as soon as possible so that they can start adapting to their new environs. If you request an inappropriate shipping time, we will try to ask you about it when you place your order. We want you to be successful and happy with your trees!
