Wetland Trees
Dawn Redwood or the Metasequoia is Fast Growing, deciduous, and drops its needles every autumn which is an unusual trait for a conifer. This tree is a relative of the California redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) and giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum), diverging around 150 million years ago. Dawn redwood will not do well in dry soil, but it needs full sun to grow its best when it is a larger tree. We start these as 'understory' trees and they love the high open canopy above them giving the good indirect light. It does best in moist to wet soils, so it can be a good choice for large rain garden locations. As with all trees a good organic planting location would be excellent for these trees.
Privacy Trees
These will be available in Late March/ Early April 2023. The Emerald Green arborvitae is a beautiful and very popular evergreen privacy tree to line a walkway, property line, or driveway. This tree will give you your privacy, comfort, and your peace-of-mind back! It maintains an upright vertical pyramidal form and is best to plant 24-30 inches apart (trunk-to-trunk) to create that tight 'quick privacy wall' that all customers want! Please note that these trees are Not deer resistant like the green giant arborvitae if you have a heavy deer population.
