No Questions Asked Plant Survival Warranty
An optional add-on warranty that covers first-winter survival for plants delivered by Three Timbers Minnesota.
Why we don't include this by default
We grow our plants for the Twin Cities climate and know what survives — but once plants leave our Waconia nursery, a lot is out of our control. Sufficient watering, deer pressure, rabbits, voles, storms, drought, and where the plant gets installed all dramatically affect whether it makes it. Rather than build a hidden warranty fee into every plant's price, we offer this as an optional purchase so you can decide whether you want the protection.
How it works
- Choose your coverage length (90-day or 1-year) and the tier that matches your order total, then add it to your cart
- If a covered plant doesn't return from its first dormancy (the spring after delivery), reach out by April 30th of that following spring
- Send a photo of the plant in place
- We'll deliver a one-for-one replacement at no additional cost
Pricing
Pricing is based on your order total and how long you want coverage. 90-day coverage starts at $4.40 and 1-year coverage starts at $8.80, scaling up with your order subtotal. The exact price for each tier is shown in the options above.
What's covered
- Failure to leaf out the following spring
- Cold injury or late-spring frost damage that kills the plant
- Hardiness-zone failure
What's not covered (even with warranty)
- Failure to water — the #1 cause of new-plant death
- Animal damage — deer browse, rabbit girdling, vole chewing, dog digging
- Planting outside the plant's needs — shade plant in full sun, dry plant in wet clay, etc.
- Storm damage — hail, flooding, ice, wind
- Plants moved or pruned by another company after we delivered
Who should buy this
The warranty is a smart hedge for first-year Minnesota gardeners, anyone planting trees over $100 each, homes near heavy deer corridors, and customers traveling during peak watering season. If you're an experienced gardener with a fenced yard who waters religiously, you probably don't need it.
How to add it
Pick your coverage length (90-day or 1-year) and the tier that matches your order total, then add to cart. One warranty covers your full order.
