Shade Trees
Shade trees serve many useful functions besides the obvious esthetic landscape purposes. Of course,
they give us shade on lazy Summer days and when planted close to our homes, the shade they provide and their natural insulating
properties help to lower home cooling and heating costs. Shade trees provide shelter for birds and other
wildlife, replenish oxygen and purify the air and water, as well as protect watershed areas. They play
a leading role in the prevention of soil erosion.
But perhaps the best loved reason for using high-quality shade trees
in our landscapes is the magnificent show they put on for us each Fall, hot and spicy oranges to blazing scarlet, deep crimson
and rich purple.
Below
is a list of many of the varieties and sizes of Shade Trees we carry in our Wholesale Yard. Please call or
