Trees are covered by our Survival Guarantee as long as you protect them with a tree tube and follow warranty conditions. See full warranty conditions here: Survival Guarantee

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.

Shumard Oak

Shumard oaks are one of the most highly recommended plantings by land managers and biologists when planting oaks for wildlife.  They produce heavy crops of large acorns and have lengthy drop times. Individual trees vary in drop time ranging from October through February. This means if you plant a stand of Shumards your providing a food source that will provide attraction and nutrition for nearly half the year! Not many other mast producing trees can say that. Shumards also produce good timber value as well growing fast, tall, and straight. Grows fast and easily, adapts well, thrives in a variety of soils and pH conditions.

Got my “late drop” chestnuts planted, I was very happy with the way they were packaged roots were moist and the quality of the trees was good. Planted among some trees from last year in hopes of creating a stand of chestnuts in the middle of the farm.
