We take special care in shipping to insure that our plants reach you in the same good condition as when they leave our nursery. Currently, each plant is "balled and burlaped".

Below are a few common questions (also on the FAQ page).

Q: Do you ship the arborvitae on pallets? No, we can not load a truck very efficiently using pallets. Our over sized pallets are specially made to accommodate about a dozen trees for hauling them out of the field. When loading for shipment, a pallet is placed on the rear of the truck. Each tree is taken off the pallet and then individually stacked inside the truck. Often times the trees are at least four to five layers high in a tier. (See loaded truck photo below)

Q: How are your trees shipped? Most of the time we load directly onto semi-trucks with 48 or 53 foot trailers. We prefer to have our clients make arrangements for the trucks as we are not responsible for freight charges. Arborvitae can not be shipped UPS because of size and weight. If you're close to our nursery you may choose to pick up your plants and save on freight costs altogether. For those living outside Oregon, we only ship full truck loads. Homeowners could also combine an order with neighbors in their area to fill a full truck load of approximately 145 to 165 trees.

Q: How many  can you load onto a truck? This can vary because of the total weight and bulk of the trees, but usually we can get from 145 to 165 on a full truck.
