“Big is better, but a big well-trained tree is best.”

What is the best value for your customers?
The best value for your customer is a well-trained tree. In general, trees 21⁄2′′ and larger are fully trained.

What is a trained tree?
Well-trained trees are pruned to be well-branched. Poorly angled branches and defects have been removed, while maintaining a strong central trunk.

Why is a trained tree important?
Proper training is truly an art and the most expensive cost in our nursery. It provides a strong structure to prevent damage from wind, ice, and decay. Future tree damage can result in huge costs to the property owner, such as professional tree services, pruning, bracing, etc. In many cases, total removal and replacement of a tree is needed. Remember, our job is to provide a product for a lifetime.

It is important to teach the consumer that quality is value, not price.
