Warranty and Care Instructions

Watering:

For the first two weeks after transplanting a tree, we recommend watering with a water hose 3 times per week for approximately 15 minute each or until saturated.  This yields roughly 100 gallons per week. 

At the three week period and beyond, we suggest watering 2 times per week, averaging 100 gallons per week.

Overwatering can be just as harmful as underwatering.  If a tree is already saturated due to heavy rains or other means, hold off on watering for a few days.

Normal rotor sprinklers do not provide enough water for newly planted trees.  If relying on sprinkler use a bubbler or comparable emitter at approximately 100 gallons per week.

If watering during a hot, dry summer with quicker run-off, let the water trickle slowly for several hours.  If the tree is not watered correctly when newly planted, it will either die or be stunted, which voids warranty. 

Fertilizing:

Fertilizing with a harsh, fast-release chemical fertilizer with high nitrogen content can do irreparable damage to the tree within the first year of planting, as it can burn the root system.  This will void any warranty guarantee.

Pests:

If trees have an insect infestation such as shade tree borers, pine bark beetles, etc. the owner should call a professional to treat them immediately.

Root Ball:

If the root ball is disturbed for the first year warranty will be voided.  This includes digging around or planting in the root ball area.  Also, do not add any soil or other materials on top of the root ball - doing so voids warranty.  

Leaves:

The leaves may turn brown and drop after transplanting.  This is a normal part of the process, as the tree works to establish itself in a new location. 

Warranty:

We guarantee our trees to live for one year with a ½ price, one time replacement charge. Mileage and planting charges for replacement trees are additional.

There is no guarantee on trees we transplant on your property.
