  • Is the Geneva plum available for shipping now? Mine purchased from you died suddenly for now apparent reason. Don't expect you to replace it except by me buying

    Bareroot trees are not available all year long. They are grown to a specific point of maturity (usually 3 years), dug from the field, and stored for no longer than 6 months in a cold storage facility for shipping. Outside of that period the trees are too young or no longer viable. Additionally trees cannot be shipped during hot months of the year, so even if one was dug now and shipped it would likely die during transit. Shipping for fruit trees will resume early spring of 2023.
