Growers of quality landscape size, cold hardy plants including shade, ornamental, and evergreen trees; deciduous, evergreen, and broadleaf shrubs; perennials and ornamental grasses. We grow field and container produced plant material with our container material grown in pots utilizing a copper compound to prevent circling roots. Our container trees are individually drip irrigated and produced in the Pot-in-Pot system of growing, eliminating tipping damage and root temperature stress. Large, B&B trees are spring dug and held in real soil, drip irrigated, and spaced to grow in rows for ease of selection for summer sales.
