Frequently Asked Questions – Tree Nursery Co.
Where is Tree Nursery Co. located?
Tree Nursery Co. is a U.S.-based nursery specializing in field-grown, bare-root trees. Our stock is grown in natural outdoor conditions, allowing trees to develop strong, resilient root systems before shipment.
Are your trees bare root or potted?
Most trees from Tree Nursery Co. are shipped bare root, which allows for easier planting, better root establishment, and safer shipping. Bare-root trees adapt quickly once planted and typically show strong growth in their first season.
When will my trees ship?
Orders are shipped during the proper planting season for your region. Shipping schedules are based on weather conditions and dormancy cycles to ensure trees arrive healthy and ready to plant.
How are trees packaged for shipping?
Trees are carefully bundled, roots are protected with moisture-retaining material, and shipments are packed to prevent damage during transit. Our goal is to deliver trees that arrive viable and ready for planting.
What should I do when my trees arrive?
Open the package immediately and inspect the roots. If planting right away isn’t possible, keep the roots cool and moist until planting. Bare-root trees may look dormant at arrival—this is normal.
Do bare-root trees look dead when they arrive?
Bare-root trees are shipped dormant and often appear leafless or inactive. This is completely normal. Once planted and exposed to warmth and moisture, they begin to establish and grow.
How long does it take for trees to leaf out?
Growth timing depends on species, climate, and planting conditions. Some trees leaf out within weeks, while others may take longer as they focus on root development first.
What planting zones do you serve?
Tree Nursery Co. ships trees suitable for a wide range of USDA planting zones. Each product listing includes zone compatibility to help ensure success.
Do you guarantee your trees?
We stand behind the quality of our stock. If you experience an issue, our support team is available to help assess the situation and offer guidance within 24 hours of delivery.
Can I plant trees immediately after delivery?
Yes. Bare-root trees should be planted as soon as possible for best results. If immediate planting isn’t possible, keep roots damp and protected from heat or freezing temperatures.
Do you offer customer support?
Absolutely. Our team is available to answer questions before and after purchase to help ensure successful planting and long-term growth.
How are you different from big box stores?
Unlike mass-produced container plants, Tree Nursery Co. focuses on field-grown trees that develop naturally. This approach supports stronger root systems and better long-term performance.
Can I order in bulk?
Yes. Bulk and larger quantity orders are available, making Tree Nursery Co. a strong option for landowners, landscapers, and restoration projects.
