We are a small local nursery with limited shipping capability. We will do our best to ship smaller material (usually 1 or 2 gallon), although we can sometimes ship larger plants with the pots removed.

We will consider contract growing an order with appropriate advance notice and availability of seed, cuttings or lining out stock.
