Damaged/Missing Items

Mold and minor damage

You may see a bit of mold on the roots, but this is normal. Simply wash it off and plant immediately. As a precaution you can treat the roots with a fungicide or biofungicide, but this isn't necessary. Small broken branches are also of little concern. Just prune off any broken bits and the plant will recover quickly. The root system is the important part at this stage.

Claims

To file a claim, email info@farmerbailey.com within 24 hours of receiving your order; include your 5-digit order number, photos and a description of the issue. Based on the assessment by our Claims Department, we'll issue any necessary refund(s) or replacements, when possible. 

Our team may request that you plant the bare roots and report any non-viable plants by June 1st. Farmer Bailey will not accept any bare root claims after June 1st.

***Farmer Bailey is not liable for plants that do not thrive once planted if no claim was filed at the time of delivery.***
