Spring Shipping:
Orders are shipped within 10-15 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.

Had some initial stress which is normal from transport and the August heat. It took several days to plant so it lost foliage. However it is growing some new buds which is an excellent sign that the plant is recovering and establishing well. Can’t wait till next year when it blooms. It’s going to be gorgeous!
Upon arrival, all of the plants were on the dry side. I'm pretty sure that really drenching the roots before shipping would solve that issue. I unpacked them immediately, watered them and set them in a shady spot to recuperate and I'm sure they'll be okay. I'm excited to have these plants. They've been on my wish list for a long time. I'm sure I'll be purchasing from you again.
Thank you for having this item. Very few nurseries have access to this shrub. Many tried to sell me the mimosa tree and had no idea what the mimosa borealis was. Your knowledge and understanding was a great help to me.
I am very pleased with my purchase of two fragrant mimosa trees from you. they are doing very well!
The plants I received were beautiful and healthy with a great root system. So pleased with this hard to find Texas native.
