We ship trees at wholesale prices
to other locations, many times where two customers share the freight on a tractor-trailer load. We have a list of landscapers
we recommend in areas we don't get to plant ourselves, Long Island, new york and new jersey that have planted for
our customers before with good success.
How to order
First, look at the varieties we have listed,
and ask about any other trees or shrubs you might want. There minimum order amount is $2,500. Email us with your questions,
let us help you decide on quantity, spacing and be sure your planting area is right for the trees you selected.
When you are sure what you want, I send
out a work-order on 3-part paper, you sign it, keep a copy and return the other parts with your 50% deposit by check. You
can have your trees delivered to your home as soon as a week from when I receive your work order and deposit.
Field Grown Trees(Ball and Burlap)
Are grown in the field, very cold-hardy,
with strong trunks and limbs used to the wind. They weigh alot more than Contain-grown trees, due to the size of the rootball.
I do keep an inventory of already-dug trees in GA, which means we can ship them anytime, even after "leaf-out".
Container grown trees-
This is a good way to handle smaller size
trees in most varieties, up to 6' tall. One advantage is they can be transported and planted any time of year. There is less
shock on the tree since you are getting 100% of the root system. Field grown trees have of course had their roots cut while
digging the root ball. They recover fine but it is more important they are moved at favorable times.
Freight-
Freight per mile rate changes often.
From Raleigh,
NC one way for a full load comes out to about $1,200 to the DC area, $2,525
to east Long Island, Sag Harbor area. Sometimes a truck makes two stops and both
cutomers shares the freight.
