Ball & Burlapped Trees & Shrubs
*Important Information*
We dig two times during the year. Spring, mid-March thru mid-May; and fall mid-September thru early November.
We do not dig in the summer months (June, July, and August) Digging in these months put stress on both the root system and tree. If summer digging is required a 10% watering and care fee may be charged. Hardwood and flowering trees are dug first in the spring, Mid-March (Pre-bud break); and dug last in the fall after the tree has become dormant. Evergreens can be dug thru the full duration of the digging season.

Orders are filled on a first come first serve basis. We make every effort to fulfill orders in a timely manner. Orders that been acknowledged may be subject to change due to crop conditions, crop injury, animal/insect damage, and other conditions beyond our control. If a substitution is needed, you will be notified of this change.
You are not required to place an order to purchase balled and burlapped trees. During the spring and fall seasons, we will have trees on our lot that are out of the ground and ready for sell. However, these trees go fast and digging seasons are short. We recommend placing an order to ensure that you will get what you are looking for.
Because it is on our price listing does not mean that it will be out of the ground and here on our tree lot. If you are driving from a distance to our nursery PLEASE CALL AHEAD to check availability of stock you are looking for.
