We offer trees that have been grown locally in the Tri-Cities on our nursery to give you a larger selection of trees in a variety of species and sizes In our field we carry trees ranging from a 1 inch trunk diameter (caliper)(6-8 feet tall) up to 7 inches (25+ feet tall) Mostly our tree inventory ranges from 1 1/2 to 3 inch caliper giving an opportunity to get a tree with a nice branch set and fully acclimated to our Tri-Cities weather. Also it gives you a jump on the shade that tree will provide. On most deciduous trees we prefer to dig them bare-root so you have more roots and it is lighter to handle (losing 100-200 pounds of dirt helps) . Still 2 people are needed for 2 inch caliper tree, 4 for 3 inch. Anything bigger than 4 inch (18 feet) caliper trees, we recommend going over to our Services page and consider Delivery (we put it to the hole on the big stuff) or Planting. The only drawback to this method is a limited amount of the year we can dig December to March (weather permitting). For an idea of hole sizes for these trees refer to our hole size chart. This is how the field works: To allow you to see the trees with leaves on you can begin selecting and purchasing field trees October 1 of each year. You can put a 50% deposit down on the tree or pay in full. Remember you can tag trees anytime after October until the end of the digging season, when the field is closed until the October 1 of the next year. When we begin digging we call you to let you know your tree is ready to be dug and schedule a time for you to pick the tree up when it is convenient for you and during our operating hours. Below is a list of trees that we carry in the field as well as a Frequently Asked Question Page on our Field Grown Trees. Please come in, call or email to confirm size and availability. Please keep in mind we are unable to ship our trees out of the Tri-City, WA Area. Deciduous Trees: These are field trees that loose their leaves in the fall; examples of this type of tree are Maples, Flowering Pear, Oak, Honeylocust and Ash. Most of these trees are dug bare-root except for Sweetgum, Oaks, Dogwoods, Bald Cypress, these are done Balled and Burlap. Evergreen Trees: These are trees that stay foliated year round, good examples of this type are Cedars, Spruce, and Pine. Evergreen Trees are never bare-root they are always Balled and Burlap. FAQs: This section is designed to answer some frequently asked questions about bare-root trees as well as balled and Burlap Trees, planting in the winter and other things pertaining to the Field Grown Trees.
