Reminder: Potted plants are available for pick-up only!

Potted plants are only available for pick-up at the nursery. They unfortunately cannot be shipped due to the size and weight of the pots.

Most potted plants will fit into most vehicles. If you are ordering a 16gal potted plant, we would recommend bringing a larger vehicle (van, SUV, pickup truck) and having someone to help you unload it.

When Will My Order Be Ready?

Potted plants are generally available for pickup 1-2 business days after you place your order and we will send you a notice once everything is ready. All potted plants must be picked up within one month of the order being placed.

Potted plants are available for purchase at the nursery from April to mid-October.

Potted plants vary in size and age, but we typically pot berries and smaller seedlings in 1-3 gallon pots and larger grafted trees in 5-16 gallon pots. The size of our potted plants generally fall into the following ranges based on pot size:

  • 1gal pots - 1-3ft tall
  • 2 or 3gal pots - 1.5-3ft tall
  • 5gal pots - 3-7ft tall
  • 8gal pots - 4-7ft tall
  • 16gal pots - 6-8ft tall

All sizes include the pots.
