Book a visit to the Gudo tree nursery
Choose the date and time.
You can stay at the store as long as you need to… But parking spaces are limited and you may have to move your vehicle.
Pick up your order
The trees you ordered can be picked up at our nursery in Gudo (Bellinzona), in the canton of 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
Whether or not you pre-order, you can choose your trees directly at the Gudo tree nursery (Bellinzona).
Some varieties cannot be reserved online. Please let us know which trees you’re interested in when you book your appointment, and we’ll try to set some aside for you.
If you’ve placed an order on the website and already paid, your trees will be set aside and waiting for you. You’ll still be able to choose your plant, provided that several are still available.
For in-store purchases, payment is by cash (Swiss francs only); payment by credit card or TWINT is available only 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 promote a healthy root system, whereas traditional pots distort and constrict the roots, permanently hindering tree growth.
