Product Questions
What types of plants do you offer?
We specialize in a wide range of edible plants, including fruit trees (like apples, cherries, and figs), berries (such as blueberries, blackberries, and goji berries), nuts (like almonds and chestnuts), and unique varieties like ginkgo trees and espalier trees. Our menu is curated for home gardeners and orchardists seeking productive, disease-resistant plants.
Are your plants organic or treated with chemicals?
At Orchard Sprout, we focus on providing vigorous, disease-resistant plants that are selected for their ability to thrive in various conditions. While we prioritize natural growth methods, some plants may be treated minimally to ensure health during shipping. We recommend checking individual product descriptions for specific details and always encourage organic gardening practices.
How do I care for my plants after they arrive?
Upon arrival, unpack your plants immediately and water them gently if the roots appear dry. Plant them as soon as possible in well-prepared soil, and refer to the care guides on our website for variety-specific advice to help them settle in and grow successfully.
Shipping & Delivery
Where do you ship to?
We ship globally to most regions, but currently, we cannot deliver to Asia and some remote areas due to agricultural restrictions. Our standard and free shipping options cover the United States, Europe, and other accessible locations.
What are your shipping options and costs?
We offer two shipping methods: Standard Shipping via DHL or FedEx for $12.95, which typically delivers within 10-15 days after dispatch with tracking and insurance. For orders over $50, we provide Free Shipping via EMS, which takes 15-25 days after dispatch. Both options are reliable and tailored to get your plants to you safely.
How long does it take to process and ship an order?
Orders are processed within 1-2 business days as we carefully prepare each plant for shipment. After dispatch, you’ll receive a confirmation email with tracking details for standard shipping, so you can monitor your delivery.
Payments & Accounts
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept major credit cards including Visa, MasterCard, and JCB, as well as PayPal for secure and convenient transactions. All payments are processed through encrypted systems to ensure your information is safe.
Do I need to create an account to place an order?
No, you can checkout as a guest, but creating an account allows you to track orders, save preferences, and access exclusive gardening tips. It’s quick and easy to set up!
