Plant Care and Tips

All of our plants are grown right here on the southern Oregon Coast (ZONE 9B). We have very sandy, rich soil, and a lot of rain and humidity. Our temperatures are usually between 40-70F degrees year around.

Please keep plants indoors until all chance of frost has passed.

We ship all plants bare root unless otherwise stated, so please plant and water immediately upon arrival.

Your new plants will be thirsty upon arrival, some experience shock from being dug up and being shipped. Plant them, give them plenty of water, time, and love, they will come around. We recommend keeping the soil moist for the first month until they normalize.

Please space plants and trees accordingly. If you have any questions on spacing your specific plant/tree send us an email.
