Twenty-four hours prior to departure, each specimen is brought to a specific saturation level. This biological priming ensures the tree maintains hydraulic turgor during the thousand-mile movement from the Pacific Northwest to the California coast.
We do not use standard freight pallets. Every estate-grade specimen is secured in a custom-built timber frame. This eliminates vertical compression and protects unique branch architectures from contact trauma during the journey.
By prioritizing full truckload fulfillment, we eliminate the risks of common carrier handling. Your trees stay on the same vehicle from the nursery gate to your driveway, minimizing exposure to environmental fluctuations and multiple reload points.
The protocol concludes with a personal handover. When managed as a full truckload, drivers are trained in a specific handling procedure to ensure care in unloading and staging trees for their definitive architectural role on your estate.
Our proprietary Load Builder recommends a vehicle class based on total mass, canopy volume, and floor-space configuration. This tool maps your manifest to truck capacity to ensure the most efficient haul possible. It can calculate more than 155,000 possible combinations of pot size, rootball, crate, palette, and canopy volume.
"A masterpiece is defined by its preservation. We ensure the journey is as distinguished as the specimen itself."
