 We believe very strongly in the statement that:
“Arboriculture begins in the hands of the propagator, and must be carried through the entire nursery production process.”

We look for superior cultivars and selections taken from the best provenances. Proper selection of understock, liner production techniques, pruning of both roots and crown are essential considerations in producing healthy, structurally sound plants. We transplant frequently and root prune to allow our naturally sandy soils to aid the production of fibrous root systems. We have developed our own systems of pruning both evergreens and deciduous trees, emphasizing structure rather than the excessive volume of branches so often found in typical production practices. We will prune to enhance a tree’s natural shape, not manipulate it into some contrived form from which it will bolt once installed in the landscape.

We are happy to conduct personal tours, we just ask that you call in advance.

The Tree Book

Superior Selections for Landscapes, Streetscapes, and Gardens
By Michael A. Dirr Keith S. Warren

“A boon to all those who plant, care for, and love trees.”—Nina Bassuk, author of Trees in the Urban Landscape

The Tree Book is the go-to reference to more than 2,400 species and cultivars, from two of the biggest names in horticulture—Michael A. Dirr and Keith S. Warren. The featured trees include those widely available in the nursery trade, some new and promising choices, and a selection of overlooked options that deserve renewed interest. Each tree profile includes the common and botanical names along with details on foliage; flowers, seeds, fruits, and cones; native range; adaptability; and popular uses in landscapes. The Tree Book is a must-have resource for landscapes architects, city foresters, horticulturists, and enthusiastic home gardeners.
