Please note – For shipping purposes trees will be watered, wrapped in clingwrap to protect the soil and protect against access moisture loss.  When you receive your tree remove it from its packaging, water well and place in a protected area for a few days before working the tree, gradually exposing the tree to more sunlight.

Due to the transport and the wrapping inside a dark container they will not be used to the direct sunlight and too much direct sunlight immediately will cause sunburn.
