​Please note

• We are unable to post these bare-rooted trees: they must be physically picked up by a person in Riverton.

• As trees are bare-rooted, you will need to make sure you can plant them straight away, or 'heel them in’ in your garden until you're ready to plant, or keep them wet mulched in a shady place..

• The height of the Southland-grown plants is 1m – 1.2m, the height of the Waimea trees (apricots, nectarines, peaches, pears, plums etc.) is approx. 1.2m - 2.2m – Usually trees will fit diagonally in a vehicle where they can be fed in through the boot.

• If you have ordered more than 5 Waimea trees and you have a small car you may need to bring a trailer.

• Pick up during Centre opening hours.

• You can also pop into Riverton Environment Centre and buy directly.

• Demand usually outweighs supply each year, so be in quick!
