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!

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.

You must protect your trees with one of our tree tubes for this guarantee to apply.

The Red Oak, more specifically the Northern Red Oak, is a native oak that provides good value to wildlife. Its acorns are not usually the first option in fall due to their high tannin content but they still play an important role. Red oak acorns passed over early in the season stay on the ground and provide a great late season food source when everything else is gone. This is a great asset for those who want to ensure they have plenty of late season food source for their deer.
Red oaks can adapt to many conditions and are very easy to grow. They grow quickly, often as fast as 2ft per year. They are very adaptable to clay soils and marginal areas.
