Typical delivery times range from 5 to 7 business days, although it can take up to 10 business days depending on the destination.
Some 45L grade trees have been grown in our Propots, and then transferred into hessian wraps for shipment. (Trees in hessian should go straight into the ground with hessian wraps intact)

While most trees withstand this with little to no stress, some may experience leaf drop. Trees will generally recover quickly with some additional care, including proper watering.

We dig them out of our beautiful soft peat soil with our Terrasaws (like a chain saw), with big 1m square at top rootballs, about 800mm deep in a wedge, lift them with our machinery then wrap them in hessian or shrink wrap, and load them on to a Hiab or other transport. On arrival the hiab, or your own equipment lifts them to be placed directly into the hole, with the wrap holding the root ball together while the tree settles into its new home. We have a very high success rate, with a relatively low cost system.
