How to Buy Trees

We have regular seasonal hours.  Please see the ‘Contact Us’ page for information about current hours of business.

Before coming to the farm, you should review the tree brochure on our website and consider what you want to put on your property.  Customers have found it helpful to have a drawing or plat of their property along on the visit to help envision the placement of trees.

When you arrive, Frank will show you around the nursery making sure to stop at any trees you find to be of interest. 

After deciding on your trees, Frank will help you take the trees you choose from our stock, you will pay by cash or check, schedule an appointment for planting, and return home with small wooden stakes.  At home, you will write the name of the trees you have purchased on each stake and place the stake in your yard where you would like the tree to be placed.

Please ensure that you put the name of the tree on the stake.

When our planters arrive, they will place the tree exactly where you placed the stake.  There is no need for you to be there for planting- just be sure to have the stakes in place.

When we plant the trees, we dig a hole bigger than the root ball, place the tree in the hole and cover the roots.  Landscape fabric is fitted around the tree to prevent weeds.  Lastly, we water the tree, fertilize it, mulch around it and stake the tree if necessary.

We also provide deer wrapping at an additional charge.

To care for your trees, you should give each tree a good soaking of water one time per week- no more.
