HAPPY ARBOR DAY
Jeff's Pick - Paperbark Maple
 | |
Jeff and his buddy - Kyle! |
Acer griseum, Paperbark Maple, is one of our most captivating deciduous trees. Not only does it have beautiful exfoliating bark (hence the name) but it is still a solid option for providing a great accent piece that anyone can enjoy. The cinnamon colored bark is always going through exfoliation - as the tree grows the old bark peels off in curled cinnamon ribbons. Not only does the bark provide a unique attribute, but the leaves in the fall become a brilliant red that stands out in any setting. I love these so much I planted one when my son was born. When we sold our old house, the hardest thing about moving was leaving this beautiful Paperbark Maple. I know that once you use this in a job, you'll want to have one for yourself! Whether it's at a residence or a business, Paperbark Maples makes a perfect landscape even better!
(Thanks for stopping by, Kyle!)
Right now we have a nice selection from 7/8 feet up to 7-8 inch caliper.

Big Trees Need a Big Spade!
 | |
Our large tree spade is earning its keep! |
Duane and his crew are really excited to be digging some large caliper trees off our farms, including these 20-22' clump River Birch and 12-14' Norway Spruce which are wide and gorgeous! The large tree spade can dig up to a 72" ball and it takes Duane together with Ciro, Victor and Dylan an average of about 2 man hours to complete the multi-step process. Also dug this week were some beautiful 7-8" caliper Zelkova serrata 'Green Vase' and a narrower form of Zelkova serrata called 'Musahino' - perfect for tight spaces and urban sights. So if your customer is looking for something large - look no further - Give us a call for availability!
Locally grown beautiful trees at great prices. |
