More information

The Arbor Day Foundation is happy to provide a one-time refund or replacement per order under the following term and conditions:

Our trees and shrubs are living things. They need planted at the correct depth, watered and cared for in a way that is favorable to the plant’s health, and protected from the elements and animals.

However, to initiate your one-time free replacement or refund, please contact us. Upon submission, a request for images or documentation to support the claim may be required.

Promotional items not included.
Please note, replacements must be the same root type as the original items ordered.
Trees sent to planting locations outside the recommended horticulture zones will not be guaranteed.

Bare-Root Tree

Bare-root trees are shipped without soil around their roots. They are shipped when dormant (sleep state). In this dormant state, deciduous trees may display small buds but not leaves. Roots will come coated in a hydrating gel. Bare-root trees require more attention and care initially to ensure they remain properly watered and protected from extreme weather conditions.

Benefits:

Cost-effective
Roots re-establish quickly once planted, meaning growth will begin faster
Easy to plant at the correct depth

Potted Tree

Potted trees are available in a variety of sizes. Because the roots are packed in soil, the trees do not need to be dormant for shipping. Potted trees often have a more established appearance with leaves and foliage, providing an immediate visual impact on the landscape.

Benefits:

Reduced transplant shock
Extended shipping/planting season
Higher survivability

Which Tree is Right for Me?

With the option of ordering either standard or semi-dwarf trees and either bare-root or potted, be sure to consider the benefits of each option when deciding which is best for you.

Standard Height

Benefits:

Also functions as a shade tree
Can be planted farther from compatible pollinator
Fills a larger space

Semi-Dwarf Height

Benefits:

Easier to harvest fruit
Bears fruit sooner
Fits in a smaller space
