3 min readHow Fast Does a Tree in Israel Certificate Arrive?
Usually within minutes. The Certificate of Dedication is emailed as soon as you pay, to you and to the family if you added their email, as a printable PDF with a link to view it online. A printed copy can be mailed for $5 and takes the time the post takes.
The emailed certificate
It is sent the moment the order goes through, usually within minutes. One email goes to you and, if you added it, to the family, with the PDF attached and a link to view and share it online. That is why a tree is the gift that still reaches a shiva house the same day. See a shiva gift when you cannot be there.
If it has not arrived
- Check spam or promotions. A first email from a new sender often lands there.
- Check the address on your order confirmation.

The printed copy
A printed copy mailed to an address you choose is $5. It goes by post, so allow for the mail. If you need it in hand for a date, such as an unveiling or a bar mitzvah, order early, or print the PDF yourself.
Sending it on a particular day
The email goes when you order. To mark a birthday or anniversary on the day, order that morning, or order to yourself and forward the email.
Trees are planted by our planting partner, the Jewish National Fund.
