All Tree Peonies Imported are Preordered.  Only those selected are requested from China.  They are shipped via EMS mail, and arrive as fast as the grower in China can dig and prepare them.  All Tree peonies arrive with a current Phyto-Sanitary Certificate guaranteeing they are free of pests.  The graft area is well void of soil, is dry, and wrapped in moss and plastic wrap for protection.  They do arrive dry.  We insist they be planted immediately.

How does your order now pay later work?

I also prefer not billing to Paypal until the funds are needed, as many Paypal accounts are also a drain on Credit cards.  And who needs the credit card interest hassle.

This also allows you time to make additional selections before the final list is sent to China in Early October.

However, in fall, if Payment for plants or for the shipping fees are not secured,     Plants will not ship.

WHERE TO PLANT

WHERE TO PLANT
WILL IT SURVIVE IN MY ZONE?

These are rated for zones 3-9.
I am personally located 20 miles south of Lake Ontario, and my planting zone is 3-4.  On principle, I plant out a test crop each season to watch the progress of the imports.
From past experience, I have received reports from satisfied customers located below the Mason Dixon line, that the new crop tends to leaf our asap, and flower the first season.

These do very well in California, north as well as southern.

Tree peonies are not a fan of cold winds.  They will do very well in protected areas.
Any questions, just zip me an email.

PLANTING

Peonies require moist (not wet), loamy, humus-rich soil in full sun or very light shade.  Plant the thick, fleshy roots of the tree peony in Late October / early November as this allow ample time for strong root development before the ground freezes hard. You should plant these like you would plant tulips or Roses. Tree Peonies are considered a Fall Planted Crop. Before planting, incorporate humus and ample amounts of Bulb Fertilizer Mix into the soil. Add some rocks or gravel also to promote good drainage.  If it is an acid soil, make certain enough lime has been add to make the soil slightly alkaline (pH 7-8.)  Mix a couple of trowels full of bone meal or super phosphate (You may wish to supplement the soil with Bulb Mix Fertilizer) at the bottom of the 8” to 12” hole, since these non-caustic fertilizers help to promote flower development.  The Graft is wrapped in Spaghnum Moss and plastic.  This should be removed prior to planting.  Be sure to set each plant with the point of the graft Top about 4”- 6” below the surface of the soil.  Fill in with loamy soil, and press to eliminate air.  Add more soil, tamp again and add more soil leaving a depression around each specimen to hold water.  Then water deeply and apply peat moss, or bark mulch to help conserve moisture and keep the surface of the soil cool in hot weather. 

After planting, examine plants carefully and remove, with sharp pruning shears any dead or weakened wood.

Tree peonies are very hardy and do not require winter protection once established. They must be planted deeply into the ground, however. The first winter after planting, it is advisable to mulch them heavily with a light, airy material, as straw or marsh hay. You may wish to salt the tree peonies with mothballs to prevent rodent damage.  Be sure other animals do not pick up the loose moth bait. As with other shrubs, feed with a balance food early each spring or in the very late fall, when leaves have dropped and plants have become dormant.

Your tree peony, once satisfied with the location you have selected should flower in 2-3 years depending on your Zone.  Enjoy!

The Tree peonies arrived too late to plant -- the ground was frozen?

I do provide alternate planting / winter holding methods.  I have found the later the plants arrive, the better.  As when the outside temps from China to here have dropped, the plants hold better, and there is less transportation mold, mildew, and moisture loss.

If the crop comes into to late to plant, we can either hold your purchase here until spring, or you can wrap each individual plant in a newspaper cone filled with dry peat moss. Please keep the plants in a dry, cold area where the temps do not get greater than 30 degrees or colder than zero.  In the spring, plant paper holding cone and all into the designated spot, and let them start up.  We recommend planting just about when the daffodils are starting up.

We found that if they come in too late, we will, upon your approval, hold them in our cold area and then ship in spring.  This has proven to be a successful alternative, as our test plants have responded very well.

Once the plants have established to your region for one year, you are good to go!

 What to look for in the Spring?

If it has been a normal, wet snow winter, you should see leaves pop out when other trees bud.  The leafing will erupt from the ground, not necessarily from the old tip buds. If it was a dry, drought snow winter, (cold and not much snow), leafing out maybe much later in the Spring.  If they do not leaf out by the following September, there maybe damage.  Damage may occur during the transport process from China or most likely damage occurring at your location.  If you planted them in a very shade loving / or wet spot, the root will tend not to survive.

If the plants do not leaf out, let me know in mid summer.  If they leaf out only a little bit -- DO NOT DISTURB THE PLANT!!! In that case, they are acclimating to your region.

 Tree Peonies do not characteristically flower ASAP.  They may take up to 5 years before they perform.  Do not disturb the roots or the graft looking for some action!  This will damage the plant and cause it to take longer to acclimate to your eco-system.  Plant tree peonies like you would roses, yucca or even tulips; plant, mark the location, and walk away.  I hope that they will do well for you.  Look for new varieties each spring from us!

WHAT IF THEY DO NOT DO ANYTHING?

Each Fall I acquire extras that are planted out with my region as test plants.  Each Fall is different, and Each Winter is too.  By having a test plant, I can monitor how well they survive Winter, and leaf out in Spring.  Some plants arrive in perfect condition, others maybe dry or have slight mold acquired during shipping and this will also affect their performance in Spring.  The general rule is the first spring they may not perform to optimum as they adjust to your climate conditions.  But they should leaf out a bit. 
 However if they begin to leaf out - and stop --. they have begun the process and are alive. This is a typical performance.  Spring weather (unexpected freezes & snowfall) can signal the plant to go back into dormancy.  This is Okay!

But --  If you see no activity by summer of any kind, the plants maybe gone.  In that case, the Chinese grower will give you another plant to try - FOR FREE!  No matter what, do not disturb the plant in question.  As in the following season, they may surprise you and start up.

Tree peonies do not like it wet, and they do not like to be moved around.

I got my plant and it has mold --- what should I do???

I recommend you flush the mold off with rubbing alcohol, and plant asap!

What if you can't plant them when you receive them in the late Fall???

A really good suggestion is to plant them in a big deep Cardboard  box or several sheets of newspaper that has been rolled into a temporary planting cone! 
Either method -- fill the holding unit  full of soil mix and plant the peony as previously instructed above. Water it once, and store it in a cool garage or cold dry basement.  Make sure the temperature stays between 29 - 39 degrees throughout the winter.  Another way is to build a cold box for temporary storage.  At your local building supply store, acquire 5 sheets of R45 board and duck Tape it together like a big box.  Leave the bottom open on the ground, and you tape the last board on top.  The R45 box will trap the natural ground heat.  You may also want to secure the box so it does not blow away.  Then put the box over your planted cardboard plants.  Be sure to bait the box for mice.  The R45 box will keep the tree peonies within their safe temperature range outside all winter.  In Spring- plant the tree peonies box in all into their desire spot..
Mulch and let them go!

WHAT IF I LIVE IN A REALLY COLD WIND REGION?

We recommend, let us hold them for you until spring.  Prepare an area that if possible does have a wind break, a temporary wind break.  Plant in warm spring.  Once the crop is climated, you will be good to go.
