Trees
Our emphasis on native plants continues with our tree varieties. The tree catalog provides cultural information, ultimate size, distinctive attributes, and notes the native species.

We carry a large selection of redbuds, maples, oaks, and fruit trees, and look forward this year to providing you with new dogwood cultivars that are disease resistant. We guarantee that you will find trees here that you’ve never seen before, but if you don’t see something you’re looking for, please ask – we’ll see if we can find it for you!

We believe that planting trees is a loving gesture to the future, and want you to succeed with every plant. Don’t hesitate to ask our knowledgeable staff any questions you might have.

Planting
For many species, spring is the best time to plant. Dig a hole twice as wide as, and slightly shallower than, the root ball. Place the root ball in the hole. Leave the top of the root ball 1/2 to 1 inch above the surrounding soil. You may need to stake the tree. Staking supports the tree until the roots are well established to properly anchor it. Staking should allow for some movement of the tree. After trees are established, remove all support wires.  

Watering
For the first year or two, especially after a week or so of especially hot or dry weather, watch your trees closely for signs of moisture stress. If you see leaf wilting or hard, caked soil, water the trees well and slowly enough to allow the water to soak in. This will encourage deep root growth.

Mulching
Keep the area under the trees mulched. A 3-foot diameter circle of mulch is common. Avoid piling the mulch up against the trunk.
