Plant a Tree!

Trees add value to your property and when planted properly, can reduce your home's heating and cooling costs. Make it a weekend project for the whole family, or take advantage of our delivery and planting services and let our professionals do the dirty work. Worried about watering? We've taken the guess work out of watering your new tree! Purchase a tree from us and we will include a FREE tree watering tool we call a “bubbler”. Simply attach the bubbler to the end of your hose, place it next to the trunk of your new tree, turn the hose on and let it run for about an hour, then turn it off. Its that simple. We still have a great selection of shade and ornamental trees including the ever-popular Autumn Blaze Maple (which grows pretty much anywhere and in any soil conditions). We know deciding which tree to plant with so many to choose from can be a bit overwhelming... so we've narrowed it down for you:

Trees for wet, clayey soil – Swamp White Oak, Weeping Willow, Bald Cypress
Tough trees for parkways – Kentucky Coffeetree, Honeylocust, American Hornbeam
Trees for small yards – Armstrong or State Street Maple, Regal Prince English Oak, Summer Sprite Linden
Shade trees that flower – Catalpa, Ft. McNair Horsechestnut, American Sentry Linden
Majestic trees for large yards – Accolade Elm, Exclamation London Planetree, English Oak, Deborah Maple

If you would like more information (mature size, fall color, you name it) about any of the trees we carry please feel free to give us a call, email us, or check out the Plant Finder page on our website.

The fine print – one tree water bubbler per purchase. All of our trees carry a one year guarantee and many of them a two year guarantee. Please call for pricing.
