TREES

When the nursery was started trees were not part of the over all plan.  That was quickly corrected due to the high demand for a wide variety of trees. Below is a fairly comprehensive list of trees that we try to keep on hand.  If you don’t see what you are looking for I can usually find it and get it for you. That is, if it is a tree that is good for our  zone’s heat and humidity.
