Helpful Hints

All Saxtons Donor Recognition Trees are designed for interior use only.
If the recognition program is underway prior to ordering the tree, we can ship all or some of the leaves in advance. That way, the leaves may be engraved and returned to us for attachment to the tree.
All trees are shipped in wood crates because of their weight and size. For estimated shipping costs, please allow 300 lbs. as an average crated weight.
