Deciduous & Evergreen Trees

Our inventory of trees is quite a bit larger then last year, and have made a very good selection of sizes. We have small Fraser Fir in 2 gallon pots, most of our shade trees are a good one inch in diameter, to our very large balled and burlaped trees. Our deciduous tree species are: Ash, Birch, Lilac, Maple, May Day, Ninebark, Oak, Locus, Poplar, Caragana, Elm, Flowering Crab, Forsythia, Hackberry, Sandcherry, Serviceberry and Willow.

For every specie of tree we have many varieties of the same specie. For instance our maple varieties are: Crimson King, Deborah, First Editions Scarlet Jewel, Northfire, Northwood, Norway, Princeton Gold, Red, Royal Red, Rubyfrost, Sienna Glen, Silver, Sugar, Tatarian, and Varigated Norway.

Fruit Trees

The varieties of apple fruit trees that we have in stock are: Connell Red, Cortland, Fireside, Granny Smith, Haralson, Honeycrisp, Honeygold, McIntosh, Northern Lights, Prairie Magic, Red Baron, Sweet Sixteen, and Wolf River.

There are two sizes of trees left this year. Standard size will produce full-sized trees and may grow to a height of 20 to 25 feet at maturity. Semi dwarf size will produce trees approximately 60% the size of standard apple trees or 12 to 15 feet tall.

Our other fruit trees that we offer this year include cherry, pear, plum and Chestnut crabapple. These trees are all standard size.

Always remember, at least two varieties should be used in each apple planting to serve as a source of pollen for the other variety. In most instances with any fruit trees, you will have better results planting two varieties.
