Shipping & Returns

Shipping:

Shipping live plants sometimes has its challenges when dealing with inclement weather but we strive to have every single order shipped out on their scheduled shipping date. Most orders will be scheduled to ship within 1-2 weeks of ordering. Because a plant needs TLC we only ship out on Mondays-Wednesdays to ensure the plants aren’t stationed somewhere over the weekend with no water or sunlight.

When to Ship:

We can ship out plants at anytime of the year pruned or not pruned, cold or not cold. Each plant’s durabilty is different so we recommend having them shipped in their designated season but we will still ship your plant to you earlier if you choose so.

Returns:

Because plants are perishable they cannot be returned without prior permission. We work hard to ensure all plants arrive healthy, but on rare occasions issues with the plant health upon delivery do arise.

Every single shipped plant is healthy upon departing our facility but if a plant is received in poor health contact us immediately so that we can assess the problem and work on saving the plant. We will first need a photo of the plant to start a claim. If we determine your plant cannot be recovered we will send you a replacement immediately. If notified of the plants health within 4 days we will send a replacement 100% free of charge.

If you determine the plant not to be healthy 4 days after delivery you can contact us and we will issue a 50% store credit.

30 days after delivery we cannot be held responsible for the current health of the plant.

Questions & Answers

Have a Question?

Ask a Question

  • How do I know when my order has been accepted and sent

    One you place your order, you will get a confirmation email. The next email you'll receive should be a notification that your plant has shipped. We ship every tuesday so some time might go by before you get a shipping email depending on the day you place your order. 

  • What is the difference between Wintergreen boxwood, Baby Gem boxwood and Japanese boxwood?

    Wintergreen boxwood is upright and dense, reaching 3–4 feet, with deep green foliage ideal for hedges. Baby Gem boxwood is compact, mounded, and slower-growing at 2–3 feet, perfect for small borders or containers. Japanese boxwood is larger (3–6 feet), loose, and heat-tolerant, suitable for warmer climates and informal hedges.

  • What is different between green gem boxwood vs. baby gem boxwood?

    Green Gem is more cold-hardy and compact; Baby Gem is smaller with a dense growth habit.

  • Can I prune and shape this plant to a very low 1 ft hedge? Plus can they survive 6 hours of hot sun in a south orientation?

    Yes, you can prune and shape Baby Gem Boxwood into a very low 1 ft hedge, as it is naturally compact and slow-growing. It can tolerate 6 hours of hot sun in a south-facing location but benefits from some afternoon shade in extreme heat.

  • Will you get more of these in before winter?

    None will be ready this year before winter. They will be ready spring time next year. 

  • What is the difference in height between the 1 gallon and the 3 gallon versions of the Baby Gem Boxwoods (from ground level to top - not from bottom of container) when they are shipped? And how long does shipping typically take to Massachusetts? Thanks,

    The 1 Gallon and 3 Gallon Baby Gem Boxwoods are over a year apart in age so they will have more than a foot in difference of height. If you are located in Massachusetts the order will be shipped the following Monday or Tuesday to ensure they dont sit in transit over the weekend. Shipping normally takes 3 days once picked up from our location.

  • Are the Baby Gems resistant to Boxwood blight and to leafminer?

    Baby Gem Boxwood is resistant to leafminer, a common boxwood pest. However, it is not fully resistant to boxwood blight but has better tolerance compared to other varieties if grown with proper care and good air circulation.
