Balled and Burlap Conifer Trees

Trees are dug, balled and burlapped on order in sizes 3-4', 4-5', and 5-6'. We try to dig the trees within 24 hours of your scheduled pick up to assure you an ultra-fresh tree. We are sorry but we do not offer delivery, planting, or shipping of B & B trees, but we will load it on your vehicle or trailer. Please know that these root balls are very heavy, and if you are not interested in doing the pickup and planting on your own, we suggest you contact one of the many lawn and garden services available in your area to work with us.

Ball and Burlap trees are dug in early-April through early-May, and again in early-September to mid-October. We do not dig trees in the summer growing season to avoid severe transplant shock to the tree. Note that our trees are grown in light, sandy soil. If planted in a heavy clay soil, the root ball will not be able to drain well unless you create a berm or mound to put the roots above grade. 

Our discounted Ball and Burlap tree pricing: 
      3'-4' tree (typically a 24"/approx. 100-150 pound root ball)    NONE AVAILABLE        
      4'-5' tree (typically a 28"/approx. 250-300 pound root ball)    NONE AVAILABLE   
      5'-6' tree (typically a 32"/approx. 350-450 pound root ball*)  NONE AVAILABLE 
    *We do not recommend purchase of the 32" root ball unless you have a skid steer or tractor to assist at your end.

Truck Spaded Conifer Trees

The much larger truck spade causes less disturbance to the tree's root system, and therefore allows you to plant trees in the 6' to 9' range. Because the larger spade creates less transfer shock to the tree's system, the season extends from early-April through mid/late-May, and from late August through October.

Our discounted truck spaded tree prices are: (note the $20.00 discount from B&B tree prices}

We do not have a truck mounted tree spade, but there are several independent operators in the north metro area. The cost can vary considerably depending upon the size of the tree, the ease of access, the distance from the farm to your location and the distance from the operator to your location. The operator always has to initially go to your location to dig the first hole, so there is always one extra trip required (two trees require three trips). We can put you in touch with one or more operators. However, we do not know of all of them.  If you know of one we will gladly work with them.

We do offer a 50% guarantee for one year from date of purchase.  This helps keep our prices low.  The best guarantee is that we normally custom dig your Ball & Burlap trees the day before--for a next morning pickup, or the day of--for a this afternoon pickup.  They couldn't be more fresh!  We never dig trees and store them for days or weeks.  With any guarantee there is always some fine print:

The 50% guarantee applies to the tree only, not truck spade costs or third party delivery and planting costs. We will do our best to insure the replacement tree is the same size and quality, but we are limited to stock available.  Also, there is NO guarantee of any sort on a replacement tree.  The guarantee is void if the tree failure is caused by chemicals, improper watering, vandalism, accident (for example, running it over), animals, or act of God (wind, lightening, etc.). 

You can insure their survival by planting them immediately (we recommend pre-digging the holes so you're all set to go) and then watering them immediately and every 3-4 days after that for the first year.  They're yours, so don't let them sit in your driveway for several days (happens) or plant them and then let them go unwatered for a couple of weeks while on vacation (also happens). 

Truck spaded trees are even fresher, direct from our fields to your location generally an hour or less depending on distance, but they still need watering every 3-4 days.

Our recommendation is to not plant them any further out than your garden hose can reach!  If further out, be prepared to haul water out to them.  The lawn sprinkler system for your yard is NOT adequate for the water needs of a tree.

Call us today at (763) 444-8206 or email us to discuss balled and burlap trees and truck spaded trees for all your landscaping needs.
 

When you buy direct from the grower, you know you are getting the freshest trees at the best price!
