Watterson Tree farm -  David Watterson has been growing shipping and planting since 1995. Wholesale prices on field grown B&B and container trees "delivered only" or planted from east TX to RI. We plant alot of trees in the Nortern VA area, and specialize in shipping to Long-Island.  We ship from two locations, Raleigh, NC and Atlanta, GA and soon will have some marketable trees in Staunton, VA. Check our prices page. We are still shipping Leyland Cypress, Thuja Green Giant during the summer. We water them well, and have our drivers travel at night so the trees arrive cool and wet.  If you have a 2,500 minimum order, email us or call 240-498-8054 . We take phone orders on evenings and weekends.
 

You should order from Watterson tree farm because:

  1. We provide all the questions/answers as any retail nursery but deliver wholesale prices.
  2. We can help you decide which trees are best, what is the best spacing, time to plant, etc.
  3. We don’t just have great inventory, we also have great trucking arrangements and know how to pack a truck so you trees arrive on-time with no damage. We specialize in Long Island orders.

 

 

Call 240-498-8054,  before 8 am, after 6 pm and weekends ok

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.
