Select Seedling Nursery collects seed in hardiness Zones 2 and 3. Our Saskatoon berry cultivars are only F-1 generation seed. Our tree and shrub seedlings are healthy and true to name. All stock is graded in accordance with specifications prepared by the Canadian Nursery Landscape Association.

We guarantee our seedlings for 45 days of planting with proper care. You must make a good faith effort to plant your trees in a timely manner into appropriate conditions. You must make good faith effort to care for your trees before and after planting. Weeding and watering are not optional. We are not responsible for results in transplanting, potting stock, aesthetic issues, slow growth, winter survival, over and under watering, drought, floods, fire, extreme weather, disease, pests, sprayed with herbicide, delayed planting, not planted at all, or any conditions beyond our control.

No refunds are given. If the plant(s) die within the 45 days we will provide replacement plants or give you store credit for the value of the trees towards future purchase(s) of seedlings with the return of the dead plants. The credit value will not exceed the unit price from the original invoice. Please note: the bare root shipping season ends late June, therefore replacement plants may be shipped the following spring. We do not cover the cost of shipping or handling on replacement plants. We only warranty plants ONCE. Please make all efforts to ensure the replacements plants grow.

Contact us immediately to report damaged, unhealthy, or missing plants. You must care for your trees before planting them.

To make a claim, email seedling@lshore.com within 45 days of receiving your plants.

Your email should include:

Your name
Invoice number
Description of the problem
Quantity of plants in question
Photos – so we can see planting site as well as what is happening with the plants
Tips for taking and submitting photos:

Wait at least 30 days after you planted your seedlings. Some species need the full 30 days to flush.
Take 1 or 2 photos of the general area
Take 1 closeup photo of EACH seedling that failed to grow up to a limit of 2 or 3 photos of each species for which you are making a claim. (We do not require 50 photos of 50 seedlings of the same species that did not grow).
Ensure we can see the ground your seedling is planted into as well as the seedling itself
It is a busy time of year so it might take a while to process your claim. We appreciate your patience. By the time you may be submitting a claim it is not always possible to send replacement seedlings within the same season. Please note: shipping cost is NOT covered by our guarantee. All shipping costs are at your expense and require payment prior to shipping your replacement seedlings.

If you do not wish to receive replacment seedlings a store credit will be issued for the amount you paid for the portion of the seedlings that did not meet our guarantee. If we determine that you did not care for or handle your seedlings according to our instructions you may not receive the maximum claim amount.

Our goal is the success of your project. Repeating mistakes again the following year helps no one. If you cannot assist us in our troubleshooting we will not be able to complete your claim.
