WreathCare

Your wreaths and other evergreen products are shipped as fresh as possible. In general, these fresh products should last until after Christmas if cared for properly.

Here are a few suggestions to insure the longevity of your products:

  • Open the case boxes when they arrive so the products can breath.
  • Remove the products from the boxes as soon as possible and store in a cool place.
  • Give the products a good shaking when you take them out of the boxes to release needles that have dislodged during shipping. It is normal for some needles to fall off during shipping.
  • Keep products cool and mist with water every few days.
  • Encourage your customers to mist the wreaths and keep them out of the hot sun as much as possible.
  • These products are intended for outdoor use. Their freshness will not last nearly as long if they are displayed indoors. (Fireproofing spray is suggested if they are used indoors.)
  • Remember that these products are shipped fresh, but their longevity will vary depending on your climate and your care.

Fire-Proofing

Holiday Evergreens: If you know that the products will be used indoors, we suggest that you have them fireproofed. Turnbull Evergreens will spray your products with a fire retardant for a small additional charge.

Display boxes are available for 20" and 24" wreaths. Your wreaths can be shipped directly in these display boxes for a nice presentation. Orders for display boxes must be in before the end of July. Turnbull Evergreens can provide UPC coding for any of the Holiday Evergreens. Orders for UPC Coding must be in before the end of July.

Local Delivery/Pickup orders do not need to order in Case Lots. These products (with a few exceptions) are not cased in boxes, but come tied in bundles.
