It sure has been a busy spring at RFWP, and it's been great helping so many customers select wonderful trees for their gardens. Not only do we still have plenty of conifers to choose from, but we have an incredible array of Japanese maples this spring.
The Retail Price List is posted on our website, and so is our updated Specimen Tree List. During a recent inventory, we found some more wonderful specimens of conifers, beeches, and other trees that we hope you'll find appealing.
We are open Monday - Saturday, 8am - 4:30pm. We will be open Memorial Day, May 30th. Please call 815-338-7442 or email us with any tree availability questions. We are happy to check our extensive inventory. Contact us if you'd like to come out and tag trees in the field. Always be prepared for some mud when you venture beyond the sales yard!
