Excellent

Received a large shipment of trees and shrubs that was ordered this summer. Everything was packaged well. We are restoring a wooded area behind our house that was recently (and tragically) razed by a utility company. The stand was mostly oak and cherry (which are deer resistant, so grow abundantly in new growth forests). We are trying to fill it i...Read More

Easy care shrubs.

Plants have to deal with my inattention and thrive pretty much on their own or die. I ordered several of these hemlock plants a couple years ago and they are now great little shrubs. I transplanted them to a new house on a lake with rocky, poor soil and they soldiered on without complaint. They are growing fast and will fulfill their roles as scre...Read More

This hemlock is one of our members’ favorites for privacy screens and hedges because of its handsome, graceful appearance and ability to be sheared to any height or shape. The tree is also one of only few evergreens that can handle full sun and full shade, though it prefers a site where it can receive both shade and sun.

Provides great privacy screen and hedges
Tolerates both full sun and shade

Bare-root trees are shipped without soil around their roots. They are shipped when dormant (sleep state). In this dormant state, deciduous trees may display small buds but not leaves. Roots will come coated in a hydrating gel. Bare-root trees require more attention and care initially to ensure they remain properly watered and protected from extreme weather conditions.

Benefits:

Cost-effective
Roots re-establish quickly once planted, meaning growth will begin faster
Easy to plant at the correct depth

Potted trees are available in a variety of sizes. Because the roots are packed in soil, the trees do not need to be dormant for shipping. Potted trees often have a more established appearance with leaves and foliage, providing an immediate visual impact on the landscape.

Benefits:

Reduced transplant shock
Extended shipping/planting season
Higher survivability

Which Tree is Right for Me?

With the option of ordering either standard or semi-dwarf trees and either bare-root or potted, be sure to consider the benefits of each option when deciding which is best for you.

Standard Height

Benefits:

Also functions as a shade tree
Can be planted farther from compatible pollinator
Fills a larger space
