The 2017 Flowering-Branch Preview: Staging Before Shipping

The original grower note

From the archived post: Flowering branches is one of our strongest seasons. We force these flowering branches, called “staging” to the best stage for sale. We cannot ship when the branches are blooming, but just prior to shipping. It takes some knowledge at your end on forcing to get them to open for your event. Communicate with us on the best time to ship relative to your event. Here are the flowering branches that we offer.
