Seasonal Arrival Tips

Spring

You may notice your plant is missing leaves, but don’t worry - that’s normal for deciduous plants and trees! Your plants have been inspected to ensure they’re happy and healthy before they ship to you. You’ll start to see new growth as plants come out of dormancy.

Summer

You may see spots, holes or wilted foliage - these are cosmetic issues caused by the environment and should not affect your tree’s health. Follow your tree’s recommended planting and care tips, and be sure to give it plenty of water!

Fall

As the weather changes, your tree may start to lose leaves as it enters dormancy. You may also see foliage that appears aged or spotted - that’s normal as your tree prepares for fall. Plant and care for your tree according to instructions so it can establish before winter!

Winter

You may notice that your plant is missing leaves - this is normal for deciduous plants and trees in winter, while they rest to prepare for spring growth. Remember to continue to water your plant throughout the winter to help it establish strong and healthy before spring!

Drop N Grow™

Because this tree is grown in a burlap bag, its roots grow into the cloth, rather than circling around the pot. This brings moisture and nutrients into the tree, for faster, healthier growth and ease. Simply dig your hole, place the Drop 'N Grow™ bag in the center (burlap included), then use excess dirt to fill the hole. That's it!
