Thank you for choosing Bob Wells Nursery! We typically ship orders within 48 hours of receipt. Please note that we do not hold retail orders. All packages are shipped via FedEx in boxes ranging from two to seven feet in length, and a tracking number will be sent to the email address provided with your order.
Shipping to the following states may experience delays due to required inspections by the USDA, Texas Department of Agriculture, and your local state regulatory agency:
