Shipping Details

 

  • Most boxes can accommodate up to two fruit trees. Shipping and handling ranges from $44.95 to $49.95, depending on location.
  • Certain items—such as citrus, avocado, tropical, and multi-grafted trees—are limited to one per box to prevent damage.
  • If a tree exceeds the height of a 5-foot box, the top will be pruned. Larger shade and flowering trees may be shipped in 7-foot boxes and pruned as needed. Shipping rates may vary for these larger items.
  • Most berries and small one-gallon plants ship for $24.95, with the same rate applying for up to four plants.

 

I want to inform you that my trees arrived in great condition, and the way they were packed was excellent.

I could see that there was quite a bit of thought in how the packaging was done. The thick-walled boxes prevented the box contents from being easily damaged, the plastic bag tied around the pot to keep the soil from coming out in the event the box was turned on its side, as well as the tall pole that kept the tree in place preventing the tree from sliding down to the other end of the box.

GREAT JOB! Hope to do future business with Bob Wells Nursery

I wanted to try avocado trees here on the southern coast of Oregon and this website had some prospects. I chose 3 but thought “these trees are not cheap, and neither is the shipping.” 

When they arrived last fall they looked like they flew first class, 4-5′ trees with lots of leaves and roots. I was afraid to plant them because of the prediction of the polar vortex so I kept them in pots in the greenhouse until March 1 and then I planted them outside. In spite of frosty mornings, they started growing right away and I even got flower buds the first spring.

I couldn’t be happier. Let me see if I can find room for more.
