Some exceptions do apply, particularly with citrus, avocado, tropical, multi-grafted fruit trees, flowering and shade trees. We will only pack one of these listed trees per box to avoid damage in transit. PLEASE NOTE: If your tree is too tall to fit inside a 5-foot box, the top will be pruned. Most shade and flowering trees will be placed in 7-foot boxes. The tops will also be pruned if necessary.
