Please realize that the dormant season for maples has begun... the trees have lost their leaves shutting down and storing their life reserves in their roots, stems and branches for next spring's wonderful growth.
Many customers continue to order now and have us hold their plants. We are happy to do this for you. Plants that we hold are pulled from regular inventory as they are purchased and flagged as “sold” with your name so you receive the best selection.
We will ship your plants in late Febuary unless you specify
a ship date in shipping instructions.
Most gardeners that live in extreme cold climates prefer to have their trees shipped in the spring when the heavy days of winter are past. But if you do order now, and live in an extreme cold climate, you might want to consider doing what some gardeners do to protect their trees by bringing them inside a cold garage during the coldest months. This keeps the roots from freezing solid and the tops from breaking off from the weight of heavy snow. This is prudent since the weather is so unpredictable. A bud break in spring followed by a prolonged period of wet cold weather can be harmful to your young tree.
Waiting for spring,
Robert
