Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ordering, minimums, shipping, and working with Micro Paradox.

Getting Started

Who do you sell to?: We sell wholesale only — to nurseries, greenhouse growers, and broker partners. Direct accounts are qualified based on order volume. If you work through a broker that sources from us, they manage the relationship on your behalf.
How do I get started?: Reach out through our Contact Sales form or Availability Request, or connect through a broker that works with us. We'll determine the right path — direct or broker-supported — from there.

What is the minimum order?: Minimum order is one box — three trays, with one tray per variety.
What is the difference between ordering against availability and pre-booking?: The process is the same. Pre-booking gives you earlier visibility into timing; availability listings indicate current lead times for material that is ready or near-ready.
What lead times should I expect?: Lead times vary by crop and season. Current lead times are indicated on availability listings. Contact us if you need to plan further ahead.

What crops and categories do you carry?: We produce young plants and rootstock across ornamental, landscape, and specialty categories, including fruit and nut tree rootstock programs. Browse by category on the Young Plants & Rootstock page or use search to look up a specific crop.
Do you offer breeder services?: Yes — for vetted breeders, we offer elite germplasm maintenance, stock production, and global material distribution. See the Breeder Services page for full details.

How do you ship?: We ship by freight, FedEx, and UPS. Local pickup is also available. Certain shipments — particularly regulated or internationally distributed material — may require a phytosanitary certificate, which we coordinate.
Do you ship internationally?: Yes, for certain material. International shipments require phytosanitary documentation, which we handle as part of our distribution coordination.

What are your production standards?: All material is produced in-house — lab, greenhouse, and distribution under one roof. We coordinate with CSP Labs for pathogen screening on material of commercial concern.
