Book a visit to the Monte Carasso store
Choose the date and time.
You can stay at the store for much longer than 15 minutes…But parking spaces are limited and you may have to move your vehicle.
Pick up your order
The trees you have ordered can be picked from our warehouse in Monte-Carasso (Bellinzona), Canton Ticino.
You can collect them yourself, or leave your order form (email with payment confirmation) with someone you trust.
The trees are high 60-90cm (small), 100-130cm (medium) or 140-180 (large) with their pot.
Individual deliveries are possible in Ticino. For other cantons, deliveries are grouped together approximately once a month.
Please visit https://alpagrumi.ch/deliveries/ for possible dates and delivery conditions.
All trees are in Air-Pots of 29cm outside diameter. Visit https://air-pot.com/ to see the benefits of these special pots.
Once you’ve planted your trees, don’t throw the Air-Pots away – you can reuse them or bring them back to us.
The pots are wrapped in burlap for transport.
Medium and large trees can be laid down in a car, but be careful of the length (back seats down). In winter, avoid excessive heating. If you are transporting them standing up, the truck must be closed or tarped.
Choose your trees at the store
With or without a pre-order, you can choose your trees directly at the store in Monte Carasso (Bellinzona).
Some varieties may not be bookable online. Let us know which trees you’re interested in when you book your appointment, and we’ll try to keep some for you.
If you’ve ordered through the website and already paid, your trees will be put aside and waiting for you.
You’ll still be able to choose the plant you want, provided several are still available.
For on-site purchases, payment is in cash (Swiss francs only); payment by credit card or TWINT is only possible online.
Air-Pots
Air-Pots are special pots whose unique shape prevents root bending.
They ensure that roots are not damaged. Trees can remain in pots for a long time before being planted in the ground. They will grow naturally, without bent or twisted roots and without constrictions.
See the experiment carried out in Germany over 11 years (2008-2019).

This research demonstrates how Air-Pots produce a healthy root system, whereas traditional pots deform and knot roots, forever handicapping tree growth.
