SHIPPING TIMES

We do not ship year round. We have 2 shipping periods, spring and autumn. If you place an order during a non-shipping period we will hold your order until the next shipping opportunity unless special arrangements have been made beforehand.

Our spring shipping period begins early March and continues into June. Some plants can be shipped and planted even during the hottest parts of the summer but not all. In that, we may opt for a limited summer catalog - this may not be available every year. We begin shipping to customers living down south earlier in the shipping window gradually shipping farther north as the spring breaks northward. If and when night time temperatures are problematic in the early part of the shipping window we will send out an email to all those affected indicating a delay in shipping until such time that nighttime temperatures are safe and appropriate for sending your plants. The last thing we want is boxes of plants sitting in the back of a frozen delivery truck overnight or resting on the freezing tarmac awaiting situation on an airplane... welcome to our world!

Our autumn shipping period runs late August to early September through the mid / late October period and very possibly early / mid November for customers in the deep south.

All customers who have greenhouses available should let us know. We can alter our usual shipping times to accommodate your wants when plants have protection.

SEASONAL EXCEPTIONS

We ship with the best interests of the plants and your success in mind. We usually will not ship certain plants (broadleaf evergreens and magnolias among others) during the autumn shipping window as it is culturally unsound practice to plant them in this season, especially in the north. If you own a heated or a cool greenhouse – one that does not freeze in cold weather – and would like your shipment outside of our usual shipping windows we may be able to accommodate your wants dependent upon regional weather and forecasts at time of shipping. Please note: off-season shipping is at customer’s risk; our limited guarantee is null and void. Please let us know if this is an option you wish to pursue by note attached to an order form, call us at (860) 779-1732 or e mail us at wayne@quackingrassnursery.com Be certain to include all pertinent information such as your name, the area of the country in which your desired plants will be delivered, phone #, e mail address the plant or plants in question.
