Step One: Determine what kind of tree you want to buy.
Whether it’s fruit/nut trees, privacy trees, shade trees, fast growing trees, ornamental trees, trees for fall color, or beautiful flowering trees, we have an amazing selection of trees to add to your landscape. We do not ship these trees bare root. They are rooted in a nursery container with soil. While we have lengthy product descriptions to help you choose which trees to buy, we know that sometimes nothing beats talking to an expert.As such, we offer lots of ways to get in touch with our team. You can live chat with us, call us during business hours, or submit a contact form in which we’ll email you a response. Find all of that information here, on our contact page. You’ll also love checking out our full blog and our grow guides for additional, specific information on our beautiful trees.
We are continuously adding more grow guides for specific types of plants – if you have a recommendation please let us know. We love our customers!
