Mycorrhizae is a beneficial soil fungus that grows on the roots of your trees and helps them take up water and nutrients more effectively. Similar to inoculating plants like beans and peas prior to planting. If you select this option we will include a packet of mycorrhizae granules with your trees. Just sprinkle in the hole prior to planting and you're good to go. We don't plant anything here at the farm without using it ourselves!
When you buy from us you can rest assured that you're going to end up with a healthy growing tree come spring. We guarantee that all our trees will emerge from dormancy so you don't have to worry about spending your money on something that may or may not bud out come spring. Just follow the recommendations in our planting instructions and your tree is covered.
You must protect your trees with one of our tree tubes for this guarantee to apply.

Strictly speaking elderberries are shrubs not trees but they have tremendous value as both a conservation planting and for human use as well. Black Elderberries produce large clusters of dark black/purple berries that are a great food source for songbirds, quail, pheasants, and even deer. The shrubs themselves provide excellent cover for small animals like quail and rabbits. Elderberries make great additions when trying to manage for old field or edge style habitat. Elderberries can reach approx. 6-12ft tall at maturity.
The elderberry plant also used widely for medicinal purposes as they are extremely high in nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants. While we don’t give out medical advice, we know many people swear by this plant to help boost their health. Always consult a physician before making any medical decisions.
