What happens to my check if you do not have the trees I want? 

We send your check back to you.

I mailed my check in two weeks ago and received no response, did I get my trees? 

We send out a confirmation to all purchasers shortly after the last date to purchase trees.

I mailed my form in by the deadline, why did I not get a tree? 

Trees are apportioned on a first come first serve basis; there are limited numbers of each species.  The first individuals to send in a registration form have the best chance of getting their first choice of trees.
