Your trees were doing well until the moose swam over on an ice floe and stripped them...
-Randy Lieb, Swift Current, Nfld.
I'm trained in forestry and have also worked in nurseries and I've found your trees to be superior to any I've seen at 2 to 3 times the price.
-Danny Gilbert, Digby, N.S.
...a great catalogue: informative, interesting and appropriate info!
-Ron Kelly, Supervisor, University of Guelph Arboreteum

Terms & Guarantee
Full payment by cheque or money order required with order, please. Should any of our large transplanted stock fail to grow, we will replace it - or its nearest equivalent - free on your next order with us. Seedlings are not guaranteed.
Climate Zone
Beside each plant listing you will find the coldest zone in which it normally survives (i.e. Z2 or Z5a). Only experimental plantings should be undertaken in zones colder than those listed. For more information we have a zone map of Canada.
Size
Beside the zone number is a measurement (e.g. Z4/10m) giving the eventual size in metres of the mature plant. These are averages and can vary up to 20% either way depending on soil and climate. Beside most items, we list the dimension in centimetres of the trees you'll receive.
XL Stock
‡ The symbol indicates a plant which this year comes in extra-large as well as the maximum size (1.6m) allowed by Canada Post. The price is the same, but you'll have to come & pick 'em up.
Our Fall pick-up date is Saturday, October 6th, 2007. Please see Specials or this map to Marlbank for directions.
Please check our planting instructions before you order.
No phone orders please.
de la POST
Wherein our "National Disgrace" gets a pat on the back.
Parcel Post works well: bundles of our trees find their way on time and with equal accuracy to Badger, Nfld. & Horsefly, B.C., real places that courier services won't serve or can't find. The Canadian Postal Serice is a creation of generations of our people. Its network knits together our tenuous ribbon of a country... and woe, implacable woe on those who dare to unknot it, either from within or without.
Golden Bough's delivery system has been considerably modernized over the years.
Tammy & the gals in the packing barn take a lot of care with your dormant, bare-root trees which will come to you stoutly packed in re-cycled grain bags, standing in damp shredded paper and tied to a re-usable bamboo pole.
Next stop is Tamworth, where Kate, our genial post-mistress, weighs and measures our packages which can safely reach any address in Canada, usually in less than a week.
Canada Post handles trees up to 1.6m. Our pick-up customers often receive larger plants at no extra cost since less packing is required.
Here we see pre-ordered pre-paid trees & shrubs readied for a pick-up weekend. Most of them will be planted in prepared sites on the same day.
