Hi Pootsie, I think to get a reliable answer the size and type of tree and pot should be known. I have received several trees from several nurseries all packed and delivered in fine condition but the ones in ceramic pots were packed differently than the ones in plastic nursery pots. The larger ones were packed differently than the small ones. All in all the main consideration should be, a) that no branches are broken in transit and b) the soil stays moist. Tims method is excellent for ceramic pots and Evergreens method is good for plastic. It mainly depends on what your packing and where it's going.
