Thank you for choosing Bob Wells Nursery. We typically ship merchandise within 48 hours of the time the order was received. WE DO NOT HOLD RETAIL ORDERS. All packages are sent via FedEx in boxes that range in size from two to seven feet long and are confirmed with a FedEx tracking number sent to the email you provided.
Shipping to the following states may be delayed due to regulations that require packages to be inspected before shipping as required by the USDA, Texas Department of Agriculture and your local state regulatory agency:
Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington
In the case your package requires inspection, these packages will be shipped on a weekly schedule on Wednesdays.
State of California – We are prohibited from shipping persimmon trees to the state of California.
States of New York and Washington – We are prohibited from shipping grapevine plants to either of these states.
State of Oregon – Due to agricultural laws, plants and trees in containers larger than 1 gallon are prohibited from shipping to the state of Oregon. If you order a tree, we will be required to send it bare root and the leaves stripped from the tree. We do not ship tropical plants to this state.
Citrus – Federal and state laws prohibit us from shipping citrus outside the state of Texas. No exceptions allowed.
We are unable to ship any packages outside the contiguous 48 states. This means we are not able to ship to these locations: Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico and other US territories.
Generally, we can fit two fruit trees in a box. Shipping & handling fee is $39.95 to $49.95, depending on your location. 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.
Most berries and small 1-gallon plants will cost $24.95 for shipping. The fee remains the same for up to 4 plants.
