Coastal Plain Conservation Nursery, Inc. provides strategic native plants to environmental professionals. Except during our annual open house (next scheduled for 4/12/08) we sell only to businesses.
Available Plants:
Our list of available plants is updated regularly, however inventory can change in between updates. Therefore customers should always verify availability by phone, fax, or email before making any plans.
Pick-Up, Shipping & Delivery:
Customers can pick up plants at the nursery, or we can ship the plants UPS or deliver in our trucks. Please try to give us 24 hours to prepare your order for pick up or delvery.
Once you order plants and we accept your order, you are obligated to pay for the plants, even if you subsequently find that you will not need them. You are also obligated to pick up the plants or accept delivery within 2 months of the agreed-upon date, or to pay a holding fee.
Occasionally we have a crop failure. If this occurs, we will work with you to find acceptable substitutes for the plants we cannot provide, provide the plants in alternate sizes, and/or find alternate providors for the plants. However we cannot be responsible for any damages caused by our inability to provide the plants.
Listed prices may change without notice. Payment in full is due upon receipt of plants, although established, reliable customers may be granted 30 day payment terms.
Sizes:
With rare exceptions, our plants are container grown in sizes that perform consistently well in their target application. For herbaceous species, “large plugs” perform very well, are low in cost, and are easy to transport and install. Large plug containers are narrow but deep, holding 5.8 to 6.7 cubic inches of roots and media. Their narrow size makes them fast to plant, their depth makes them stay in place in erosion-prone situations, and their ample root mass allows explosive growth upon outplanting.
Most woody species are available in “tubeling” containers which hold 12 to 14 cubic inches of media. Most of these containers prune the plant’s roots to encourage branching which improves plant survival in difficult conditions. Shrub tubelings are a great way to increase species diversity of stream restorations. They spend the first year after planting developing their root systems, then explode with top growth the second year. Plants grown as large plugs or tubelings are removed from their containers and bagged into groups at the time of sale. This saves installers the hassle of disposing of or returning trays and drastically cuts your clean up time.
Most species are also available in gallons (trade or full). Gallon trees compete well against weeds and shrub gallons cover a lot of ground their first growing season.
