Trees

 

 

Bareroot Trees:  In early spring we stock bareroot deciduous trees.  We sell bareroot trees because they offer savings to our customers, convenience in transporting and normally have a larger and better root system.  We have bareroot shade trees available in sizes up to 1 1/2" caliper which can be 10-12 ft. tall.  Smaller sizes are also available.  With bareroot trees, customers save the cost of a pot, soil, and labor of potting.  We feel we have the largest selection of bareroot trees in the area.  Come see our large display area!

 

Autumn Blaze Maple

Shade Trees:  Probably the most popular shade tree today is the Autumn Blaze Maple, which is a hybrid combining the favorable characteristics of a Silver and Red Maple -- fast growing and red in color in the fall.  We will have these available in bareroot in two sizes.  Our shade trees include Ash, Linden, Maples (Silver, Red, Norway & new hybrids), Oak, Hackberry, Birches, Honeylocust, Willows, and Poplars.  Most of our potted shade trees are in 15 gallon pots with a few in 20-25 sizes.

 

Ornamental Trees:  Flowering Crabs are one of the most popular of the ornamental trees.  We carry more than a dozen varieties.  Most of our varieties have the persistent fruit that does not litter.  Other favorites are the Ash, Japanese Tree Lilacs and the smaller Amur and Tarturian Maples.  We have the new Crimson Frost Birch with a purple leaf as well as many other interesting varieties.

Apple Tree

Fruit Trees:  We are beginning our year with apple varieties as well as hardy pears, apricots, plums, and cherries.  Our fruit trees are all generously planted in 10 gallon pots to give our trees a better start.  We carry apple trees in standard and Dwarf rootstocks.  Standard rootstock produce full size trees that generally begin bearing fruit in 5-8 years.  Semi Dwarf rootstock will produce trees that are approximately 60% of the size of a standard tree or approximately 12-15 feet tall and about 14" wide.  These trees may produce fruit earlier than their standard counterparts.
