Quality:

- We offer select grade nursery stock from several of America's premiere landscape nurseries.

- Our trees have well developed root systems and are graded to include side branching whenever possible. Trees without side branching are noted as 'seedlings' in our plant descriptions.

Format:

- For easiest lifting, transport, and planting, we only offer bare root and container-based trees and shrubs:

- Nearly all of our container stock is grown using 'root pruning' propagation, a process that encourages development of dense, fibrous root systems. These plants begin growing the first year they're planted and grow more quickly than conventionally propagated material.

Guaranty:

- We guaranty our trees and shrubs will leaf out by June 1 of the year they are purchased.

- Trees and shrubs must be planted in accordance with instructions provided when purchased: roots cannot dry out; water immediately when planted; mulch with organic material and water weekly if it doesn't rain.

- A replacement will be offered if your plant doesn't leaf out by June 1. If we don't have the same plant in stock your purchase price will be refunded.

- Replacement trees must be picked up in Cambridge.

- Our liability is limited to purchase price of the item being replaced. Purchaser acknowledges this when ordering.

- Trees purchased after June 1 are sold as is.
