This rounded tree is truly a remarkable horticultural sight when adorned with the long (sometimes over 10"!) papery lime-green catkins. It is a rare plant in the trade having been introduced from China in the 1980's. 

These trees have fast vertical growth. In order to continue shipping these plants, we trim the top. When new growth emerges, choose a new leader.

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
