Before May wraps up, we couldn’t resist giving

Before May wraps up, we couldn’t resist giving one more shoutout to our Tree of the Month...the fabulous Crabapple!

Beyond their good looks, Crabapples offer important ecological value. Their spring blossoms are a magnet for early-season pollinators, including bees and beneficial insects just waking up from winter. In the fall and winter, the persistent fruit provides a much-needed food source for birds like Cedar Waxwings, Finches, Bluebirds, Cardinals, and Robins, helping support local wildlife throughout the year. 🌳🐝🍎

Planning fall installs? Now’s the time to tag your favorites. We’ve got a beautiful selection ready to go!

Here are some of our favorites:

Red Jewel – Bright white spring blooms and glossy red fruit that clings through winter make this variety a standout for four-season interest. 🍒

Firebird – Perfect for smaller spaces, this dwarf Crabapple has a rounded shape, fragrant white flowers, and vibrant red fruit well into the colder months. 🐦‍🔥

Royal Raindrops – A customer favorite for good reason: its magenta-pink flowers, purple cutleaf foliage, and persistent fruit combine ornamental value with durability. 🌸

Ruby Dayze – A compact variety with deep red buds and rich pink flowers, paired with reddish foliage and strong resistance to foliar diseases. 🌺

Our above-ground sales yard is stocked with our beautiful specimen 2-4” trunk caliper trees, but did you know that we also carry a diverse selection of high quality potted & root-bag trees, too? 🌳🪴

Whether you’re looking to round out a municipal planting with some younger trees, wanting to start a backyard orchard or agroforestry project, or looking for a unique Father’s Day gift, we have an excellent array of potted shade, ornamental, and fruit trees looking for their new homes! 🌳🪴

Give us a call or shoot us an email for the latest availability! At a glance we have a diverse selection of container: Maples, tree-form & clump Serviceberry, American Hornbeam, Shagbark Hickory, clump Eastern Redbud, Bartlett & D’Anjou Pear, Gala, Golden Delicious & Honeycrisp Apple, Montmorency Tart & Rainier Sweet Cherry, Sweetgum, Royal Raindrops Crabapple, Prairie Gold Aspen, Oaks, and Elm!

Happy Planting!

And just like that, June is almost here. Our Tree

And just like that, June is almost here. Our Tree of the Month for June is the Autumn Brilliance Serviceberry. It brings beauty across all seasons, which makes it one of our favorite trees at the nursery! With delicate white spring flowers followed by edible red fruits in June, to a fiery red-orange glow in the fall and smooth gray branches adding winter interest along with a strong structure that resists ice breakage the Serviceberry is a versatile and excellent Midwest Native tree. Serviceberry performs well in our field; we grow both single trunk and multi-stem versions. It has a slow start as a young plant but it finishes strong. The single trunk form takes a little longer to caliper up than the multi-stem. We love how this tree has something interesting to offer in every season – especially in the summer when the berries are a nice treat in the field!
