How to Plant

STEP 1) First, decide on a planting location. Consider carefully what kind of sun, soil, and growing-space your tree or shrub will need.
STEP 2) Once you've located the perfect spot, the hole you are digging must be at least double the width and as deep as the root system you are planting.
STEP 3) Remove the plant from the pot and place the root ball in the hole. The top of the root system should be level with the ground. Before placing the tree or shrub in the hole, use your hands to gently break up the root system.
STEP 4) Once the plant is in place, backfill the hole with native soil and any leftover potting material.
STEP 5) Pack down the soil to eliminate any air pockets.
STEP 6) When finished, water thoroughly.

Thanks

Excelente customer service thank you so much

Great condition!

Well packed and undamaged from shipment (even though FedEx delayed delivery an extra day). Redbud tree is a nice size and healthy, soil looks good and roots seem well established. Impressive!

Five stars . I think you people came through. Nice tree. Packed good soil was good and wet. The size of the tree was nice. I ordered from someone else before. Two times . Once a three pk. Of 6 in. Star mag. And are doing okay. I hope not to cut the little ones. And before that had two trees die. So I think I got a home run on the third swing . I'm hopeful. Brian

Great Experience

I recently received my Pansy Redbud tree. I was hesitant to order on-line, but wanted to give it a try since I could not find the tree I wanted in local nurseries. It was packaged very well! The tree I received was much larger than I expected, all healthy leaves on the tree, everything looks good and intact. Overall a fantastic purchase and experience. Fingers crossed I can keep it looking as good in a couple of months, I don't exactly have a green thumb. I plan to order again in the future. Thanks so much! I can't wait until Spring to see the flowers.

Stunning
