Greetings! I've been growing trees for a few years now and exploring the idea of selling a portion over the internet. The trees I'm looking to sell in 1 gallon trade pots, most likely about 2 foot tall spruce trees. I'm looking for suggestions on packing and shipping company. thank you!

The way I enjoy having trees shipped to me is to have them shipped upright in a box and the pot totally wrapped in clear plastic so that there is no soil spillage, then the pot firmly secured to the bottom and sides of a closely fitting box so there is no chance the tree's branches can become broken. UPS seems to be much more careful with live plants than the post office is; they don't care if they ignore " fragile, this side up" warnings on the packaging.
