ALL OF OUR CAMELLIAS are container grown in California, our Camellias will be shipped either in their containers, or will be balled and wrapped in waterproof material. Outside of California, in order to facilitate packing and eliminate excess weight, thereby cutting transportation costs, Camellias will either be balled or bare-rooted (unless requested otherwise).
Notice to residents of the states of Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Foreign Countries: All shipments of Camellias must be bare-rooted, and will be re-balled in peat moss, and properly wrapped for shipping. We are experienced in shipping bare-rooted Camellias and have found the above method very successful. All states and countries requiring bare-root shipment of Camellias, as listed above, must be inspected and certified by the Los Angeles County Dept. of Agriculture. The fees charged for this service are as follows and must be added to your order:
1-10 plants $18.30

Foreign countries please note: In addition to the above fees, please add $12.00 for the required:
Federal Phytosanitary Certificate.
WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY shipped balled and bare-rooted Camellias all months of the year, but for best results we advise shipment from mid-October through March (we strongly advise against bare-root shipping after early March), during which time shipments will be made weekly. From April through September shipments will only be made during the first and third weeks of each month. Due to the holiday overload on shipping lines, we do not ship from Dec. 1 through Jan. 1.
ALL AZALEAS offered in this catalog are grown in No. #1 containers (approx. 6” x 7”) (some slow growing and dwarf varieties may be in pots approx. 3” x 4”) and will be shipped in same, or balled and wrapped. Azaleas can be shipped safely throughout the year. Shipments of Azaleas to states and foreign countries which require bare-rooting (or if requested) a charge of 50¢ per plant will be added. Notice to residents of the above mentioned states and foreign countries: An inspection certificate is required for all plants, including Azaleas. Please use the above fee schedule.
Notice to the residents of Hawaii: Your state does not require a certificate of inspection, but all plants, including Azaleas, must be bare-rooted.
