ESTIMATED SIZE
Sizing can vary, and the average height of the plant will vary. Plants (shrubs & bushes) such as this one grow wide, not just tall, so these are not judged on how tall they are when shipped, instead, they are judged mainly upon the size of the pot they are growing in, which gives you larger roots depending on the size of plant you choose that we have available. The bigger the pot means, the larger the plant will be right from the start.

Quart Pot — Up To 12” inches tall (fewer roots than trade gallon size)
Trade Gallon Pot — 12-24" inches tall (more roots than quart size)
 

Shipping

All of our trees ship Bareroot which means they will ship with no soil and no pot. This allows the plants to have a safer trip through the mail as well as to cut down on shipping costs majorly. The roots will be carefully removed from the pot they are growing in, and then wrapped in moist material with the roots sealed up to keep them moist during transit. 

Shipping Restrictions

To follow your state regulations, we can not ship this plant to California, AZ, AK, HI

Deliveries to WA, UT, ID, NV, MT, ND, and SD MUST be shipped Bareroot.
