bur oak review

The shiping took a while and the tree was beautiful but installing the tree was very difficult since it was so heavy and big

Hi there,

Thank you for your review. It is very important to our crew that all of our trees are installed correclty, sometimes depending on the size of the tree and the locaiton of it's planting this can take longer than expected. Once you have placed your order we will usually have you on the schuele for planting in 2-4 weeks. This will all depend on the time of year and weather.
