Raintree's Exclusive Guide
to The Best Shipping Dates for Your Region

You need not worry about shipping times.  Having the plants arrive at your door in great shape and at the right time for planting in your climate has been Raintree’s job for a quarter century.

Many parts of the country are subject to a wide range of weather conditions throughout the year.  When the weather is too hot or too cold in your region we recommend and sometimes require that you choose our expedited shipping service which will get your plants to you, except in the west coast states, with much less time in transit.

We ship bare root plants, kept fully dormant at Raintree in cold storage from January through mid June.  We ship potted plants every month except August.  There is an “ideal time to ship” fruit trees and the many other bare root plants Raintree offers, to your region. Review the chart and map below for shipping methods available and the “ideal time to ship” to your region of the country.  Books, garden supplies, gifts and gift certificates Are available for year-around shipping.
