Shipping Info
Once your Alexandrina Magnolia Tree order is placed, we will ship your plant(s) within seven business days year round unless during the checkout process you request otherwise in the space provided to do so.
Perfect Plants’ shipping specialists carefully package your plants using a proven packaging method that ensures your plants arrive healthy, colorfully alive and ready to flourish. We’ve coined the term ‘upside down box test’ and we do just that; we carefully package so that regardless of the direction your box is handled, it will not harm your precious plant that’s inside.
No shipping process is without a problem from time to time. On rare occasions some plants may experience some of the following during their transit: drooping, minor leaf-loss and/or minimal yellowing/discoloration, minor limb damage, etc. These instances are quite rare, but can happen when shipping plants in boxes.
Plants normally recover within a few weeks after planting. If a damaged box has injured your plant on the inside, please notify us within 5 days of receiving you package(s) by emailing us a photograph of the damage.
We always do our very best to ensure that your plants are packed and shipped in the safest, gentlest and most effective way possible.
Will my plants and trees look like the photographs?
Absolutely! Unlike other online nurseries, our photos are of actual plants and trees we’ve grown here, on our family operated nursery.
Growing our own plants and trees helps to ensure we ship you the best quality plants that are free of pests and diseases.
Your plants and trees may however not ship with flowers on them, like the photographs. This all depends on the time of year you buy your plant or tree. Crape Myrtle trees, for example, only bloom during the summer months, so if you purchase one during the spring or fall, they would ship without flowers. Once planted, your plants will grow and thrive giving you flowers for many years to come!
Pot Sizes
Pot sizes (commonly referred to in gallons) are shipped in the same size nursery trade pots which may vary in actual volume. Some plants may have been at the approximate pot size listed, but require excess dirt to be removed so that you will not be paying any additional shipping costs. This doesn’t happen very often though.
Shipping Fees
Our shipping charges are based on the value of your order. Please use the chart below to see what your shipping charge will be.

The tree shipped very fast, was well rooted in the pot, and free of pest. I only give it 4 stars because it was only 3ft when shipped. I called and spoke with Jaime, who explained to me that was the normal size when shipped. Tree came with a planting guide, which is useful for an older lady like me.

Ordered two trees. My order shipped fast, and both trees arrived in perfect condition. The trees exceeded my expectations, I am extremely satisfied. They are both lush with thick stems. I will definitely purchase more trees from Perfect Plants in the future.

Thank you for your kind review. The Alexandrina Magnolia tree sure is a head-turner and will accent any yard or landscape in the most beautiful way. If you are lucky you might even receive a second blooming period with these flowering magnolia trees! Happy planting!

I just ordered this Alexandrina magnolia tree for planting 2 weeks ago. It arrived with no leaves (which is normal this time of year) and TONS of flowers. I have seen these trees around town for a while and finally purchased one. So glad I did and I found the perfect spot. Have already received compliments from my neighbors :)
