Shipping
Shipping
All bare roots will be shipped in mid March via FedEx. Please note that orders from other producers (Gro 'n Sell, Plug Connection, 3 Porch Farm) cannot be combined with Bare Root orders.
All bare roots are sold in bundles of ten plants. 6 of these bundles will fit in one shipping box. Do note that bare roots shipped in partially-filled boxes will be just fine and totally safe. These are not nearly as fragile as plugs, and will be secure in the box with packing material.

Damaged/Missing Items
Damaged Bare Roots
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 in the game.
Damage in transit is unlikely, but always a possibility when shipping plant material, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or frustration if this occurs. But fear not! We will work with you to make things right.
Claims. To file a claim, fill out this form within 24 hours of receiving your order. Based on our assessment, we'll issue the necessary refund(s) right away.
