We pay attention to more than the visible part of the tree and shrub. The roots are a main focus of ours, because we know the best roots grow the best trees. We grow the majority of our trees and shrubs in root-control bags, which support healthy root growth and result in reduced transplanting stress.
Our selection of trees and shrubs are of the highest quality, and they have proven to be hardy over the years they have spent at the tree farm. Many of the varieties we sell are Iowa natives and are well suited to our climate and soils.
