OUR WARRANTY

We take great pride in the quality of our nursery stock and the care it receives at our nursery. We guarantee our plants to be true to name as labelled, to be alive and well when you receive them and, when given proper care and attention, to leaf out and grow.

• If, upon receipt, you are not satisfied with the quality and condition of your plants, you may return them for a full refund.
• Claims for damaged or unsatisfactory stock or shortages must be made within five days of receipt of order.
• If, after following the enclosed planting instructions, your plants do not leaf out and grow, we will replace them one time, the following season, provided you pay the cost of shipping and handling.

All claims must be made by June 1, 2026. In all cases, our liability is limited to the purchase price of the stock.

We do not recommend or encourage ordering varieties that are clearly incompatible with your climate and will notify you if anything you order will not be covered by the warranty due to incompatibility. In addition, we cannot be held responsible for losses that result from any extreme climatic event such as those that are occurring with increasing frequency.

Citation (Cit.)

Peaches and nectarines dwarfed to eight to fourteen feet, apricots and plums dwarfed to twelve to eighteen feet. Very tolerant of wet soil, but not drought tolerant (induces early dormancy in dry soil) so needs very regular water in hot climates. A top dressing of mulch can help maintain soil moisture. Resists root-knot nematodes. Induces heavy bearing at a young age. Very winter hardy. Strong and well anchored. Pat. No. 5112 (Zaiger)

Lovell (Lov.)

Vigorous, standard rootstock for plums, peaches, nectarines, apricots, prunes, almonds. More tolerant of wet soils than Nemaguard, also more cold hardy. Susceptible to nematodes in sandy soils. Provides good anchorage and high degree of disease resistance. Unpruned tree height of standard varieties 15-25 feet. Size can be controlled further with summer pruning.

M 111

Excellent all-around rootstock for apples. Induces bearing at a younger age than standards. Tolerates wet soil, dry soil, poor soil, soil with high temperatures.

How To Order

Please note that our shipping season extends from the beginning of January to the first week of March. Your order cannot be shipped prior to that because our growers have to wait until the plants are dormant before they can ship to us. Hence, we do not receive our stock until the end of December.  We cannot ship after the first week of March because we do not have cold storage and, under normal circumstances, most trees start breaking dormancy shortly thereafter.

Most of our trees are 5/8" caliper and will be about three to three and a half feet when you receive them.  They will be bare root which means that they are dormant with no leaves, no soil around the roots and no pot.  The roots will be packed in moist moss to keep them in good condition during shipping.  Blueberries, figs and olives, as well as some berries and pomegranates, are shipped in pots.  Planting of potted items can be delayed if necessary, but bareroot trees need to be planted as soon as possible after receipt.  Please remember that they are very resistant to cold when dormant, so do not hesitate to plant unless the weather is particularly foul.
