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.
