Plants, pricing and shipping .....
We really care about our plants, customers, and pricing and, therefore, we address
these issues here:
In general, 1 gallon plants are 6"-18", 2 gallon plants are 18"-24", and 3 gallon
plants are 24"-36". Most of our plants are grafted or cutting grown from our own stock
plants, so we know the correct variety. We also feel that it is better to have cultivars or
known varieties than seedlings. The plants we list have been at the nursery for a least one
season, and our catalog is based on plants in stock at press time. We list plants only
when we have at least 10 of a variety and try to indicate when so few are available.
From our garden and others we choose only the finest most adaptable plants. Since
we are small and don't have a large staff, we can't handle having thousands of varieties of
plants for sale. We put our plants through an evaluation process in our garden. So when
you make a choice you know we have already grown that plant in our own garden and
found it has more beautiful flowers, foliage, fruit, hardiness, etc. than other varieties we
have tried.
As to price, a difficult decision, we try to be fair so not just the wealthy can afford
the plants (we are collectors, too). In many cases there are no other sources to compare
cost, so difficulty in acquisition, propagation, container growing, as well as other nursery
costs must come into play.
Shipping times are between October and December and again February into early
May while the plants are in dormant state. We are always watching the weather across
the country to try to ship the orders so they arrive in good condition. We do not bare root
plants, but do reduce the earth ball to lighten the ship weight while still keeping soil with
the roots. Plants are tied into plastic bags, then tied into cardboard cartons, thus greatly
limiting loss. We'll try to meet your shipping date request, but our schedules, weather,
etc. may affect our ability to do this. In spring, please be patient as we get snowed under
with orders so sometimes it takes until mid May to catch up with the orders. We reserve
the plants ordered and charge credit cards when the plants are shipped, as we are able to
reconcile plants, packing, and shipping charges.
If we have not answered some of your questions, feel free to call.
Re: Your want lists - Often there are plant varieties available in numbers too
few to list here. We invite inquiries and try to advise where plants are
available, if not here.
