On this page
Simply Trees is worth investigating if your readers are choosing live trees, shrubs or houseplants for delivery in the continental United States. Its public affiliate terms advertise 10% of net sales, excluding taxes and shipping. Attribution, some payout details and any tier-two reward remain unknown. 3,2
The opportunity is practical plant-selection content: explain what arrives, whether it suits the buyer's location and what happens if there is a problem. We reviewed the merchant's public information; we have not tested its plants, delivery or affiliate payments.
Who it suits
| Reader task | Useful publisher contribution | Limit to keep visible |
|---|---|---|
| Choose a tree, shrub or houseplant | Compare documented size, growing requirements and relevant alternatives | A merchant photo may show a mature plant, not its delivered size. Do not invent growing results. 1,2,4 |
| Plan a seasonal purchase | Check the item, destination and dispatch information | Weather, availability and seasonal volume can affect shipping. A scheduled ship date is not a delivery promise. 1,2,4 |
| Understand a live-plant purchase | Explain return and guarantee conditions before the click | Plants cannot be returned; the guarantee has exclusions and generally provides a replacement rather than cash. 1,2,4 |
For seed-starting readers, Botanical Interests is a different kind of candidate. For readers comparing growing equipment, see Garden Tower Project. Choose the product type that answers the reader's actual question.
The commission and payout terms
The published affiliate terms and current Collabs page establish a program, but the terms do not display an effective date. Confirm the agreement presented when you apply. 3,5
| Term | What the public sources establish |
|---|---|
| Direct commission | 10% of net sales excluding tax and shipping, made through the affiliate link. Other deductions and eligible-product exclusions are not explained. 3,5 |
| Payout | The terms state monthly PayPal payments within 30 days after the end of the sale month. Minimum, currency, fees, approval hold and current Collabs implementation need confirmation. 3,5 |
| Attribution | Unknown customer window, click priority, code attribution and repeat-order treatment. 3,5 |
| Reversals | Unknown affiliate treatment of canceled orders, refunds, replacement orders and store credit. 3,5 |
| Publisher eligibility | At least 18, a valid online presence and discretionary acceptance. Eligible publisher countries are not specified. 3,5 |
| Tier-two commissions | Not established in the reviewed sources. Creator gifting and discount-code opportunities do not establish downstream sales commissions. 3,5 |
The merchant's promotional claims about order value are not an earnings forecast. We have no independently validated conversion, average-order-value or payment-performance data for this program. 3,5
Live plants change the recommendation
| Customer condition | What your reader should know |
|---|---|
| Delivery area | The shipping policy covers the continental U.S.; Alaska, Hawaii, international destinations and PO boxes are excluded. Item/state restrictions may still apply. This does not establish affiliate-country eligibility. 2 |
| Returns | Live plants are non-returnable. Unused garden supplies and hard goods in original packaging have a 15-day return window, subject to the policy. 6 |
| One-year guarantee | For qualifying orders placed from July 24, 2025, a covered loss within one year of delivery generally receives one replacement, not a cash refund. Correct growing zone, proper care and exclusions apply. 4 |
| Replacement costs | The guarantee makes replacement shipping fees and applicable taxes the customer's responsibility. If the same item is unavailable, it may issue store credit for the original product price, excluding tax and shipping. 4 |
The guarantee also has reporting deadlines: severe arrival damage needs photos within five calendar days, and pests or disease within seven days. Later decline must be reported within seven days of symptoms and within the one-year period. Weather, care and other exclusions matter; “one year” is not an unconditional survival promise. 2,6,4
Cancellation instructions differ: the shipping policy says orders cannot be canceled after dispatch, while the return policy discusses in-transit cancellation with an interception fee. Ask the merchant which rule applies; do not promise readers that cancellation will be available. 2,6,4
Before applying
Simply Trees may change rates or terms without advance notice and may terminate an affiliate account with written notice. Keep your accepted terms and recheck material changes. 3,5
Start at the official Simply Trees Collabs page, whose Apply now link leads to its Shopify Collabs application. No Affiliate Orchard enrollment or owner tracking link is confirmed. The program-selection lesson provides a short comparison checklist before you commit. 3,5
Sources and open questions
Checked October 2, 2026: affiliate terms, Collabs page, shipping policy, returns, one-year guarantee and merchant FAQ. The shipping page says April 2026; the guarantee states its order-effective date. No effective date was established for the affiliate terms. 3,2,6,4,5,1
The FAQ's general replacement-or-credit wording is less specific than the guarantee. Use the detailed guarantee for covered losses and preserve the cancellation conflict above. Customer policies do not establish affiliate reversal rules. 3,2,6,4,1
Still unconfirmed: attribution, payable product scope, other net-sale deductions, publisher countries, channel permissions beyond explicit restrictions, current Collabs payout mechanics, minimum/currency/fees, termination effects and tier-two terms. Public access to the application is not evidence of acceptance or successful completion.
