Trees properly planted, watered and cared for will have an excellent survival rate. Taking good care of your new trees involves some gardening experience and dedication. In general, plant your trees in good soil, in an area with lots of sunlight, mulch them and WATER them regularly through the first year. As a small all-volunteer nonprofit group, we do not normally offer guarantees, but if your tree fails to leaf out in its first year or is not what you ordered, please contact us.
Thank you for understanding and THANK YOU for helping us keep Westport blooming!
