- I just need a few plants, can I buy them from you?
- Our order minimum is $2,000. We understand that many nurseries and growers have needs that are smaller and are happy to supply you with the contact information for several of our partner growers who have smaller minimum requirements.
- I want to start with liners or small plants and grow them myself for more profit. How long does it take?
- We offer our plants in a variety of sizes from 2” cells up to No. 1 size. This gives our customers many options. Start by looking at our Fall Creek® Growing Program™ diagram that provides more insight into transplanting and turn-around times. If you have more questions, please call us.
- We’re going to be in your area, can we stop by for a visit?
- We welcome visits from our customers; however, we do request that you call ahead to make an appointment. This will ensure one of our team members is available to give you personal attention. In addition, we have certain security issues and protocols in place to protect crop health. When you arrive for your scheduled visit please stop by our main office to register. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation with these requests.
- What is the advantage to bare root stock?
- There are several key advantages. First, you get a finished plant with large tops and exceptional root systems which results in quicker turn around and return on investment. Second, the shipping costs are generally less than containerized larger plants because there is virtually no soil attached to the roots. They are also easier to handle and pot up upon arrival due to their light weight.
- Why do you recommend that your 2” liners are not for retail sale?
- Liners of this size are simply not sturdy enough for retail sale. Until liners are potted up and rooted through, they are sensitive to lack of water and care. Therefore we recommend to our customers they not be sold to the general public so they can optimize their success and customer satisfaction.
- Do you ever offer finished stock in any container size larger that No. 1’s?
- We do, at times, have finished No. 5 stock. These are exceptional quality plants ready for immediate retail sale. However, these are available in limited quantities so please check with our sales team. Advance notice is recommended.
- When I’m calling to get more information, who should I ask for?
- Please call 1-800-538-3001. If you are a nursery, garden center or commercial grower located in the United States, please ask for Kim Pierce. If you are calling about international orders please ask for Dick Mombell.
- How do you charge for packaging and shipping?
- For freight, packing materials and refrigerated storage (if necessary), we invoice our customers at our cost. We work with a variety of freight carriers and generally know which ones are the most appropriate and cost-effective based on your order and needs. We are happy to discuss shipping matters with you directly and can often provide advance quotes on shipping costs.
- Can I pick up my order at your nursery?
- We have many customers who prefer to pick up their orders directly from us. We request 48 hours advance notice so we can pull and prepare your order and schedule your pick-up into our loading schedules. By providing us with advance notice, we can be sure your order is ready and that loading is expedited for your convenience.
