Start Them Right
When planting trees, use Bayer Advanced 3 in 1 Tree & Shrub Plant Starter to get your trees established and growing quickly. These easy-to-use throw packs take the guess work out of initial plant care and are an inexpensive way to add an "insurance policy" to your planting!
Add Structure and Character with Trees
No garden is complete without trees to provide structure and vertical interest. At Vander Giessen Nursery, you'll find trees--evergreen or deciduous--well-suited for any size garden.
In evergreens, we carry beautiful classics like Hinoki Cypress and the lesser-known Golden Hinoki alongside other favorites such as Weeping Alaska Cedar, Serbian Spruce and Alpine Fir. If a "full-size" tree isn't an option due to space limitations, ask us about slower-growing and dwarf varieties better suited for small yards.
Deciduous trees are also great options for adding interest to a yard--especially when they can provide shade, flowers or fall color! Pictured at right is 'Ukigumo,' a unique Japanese Maple that stays small and offers bright color for a shady area in the yard. Check out our great options in Japanese maples large and small for gorgeous color and form.
Other popular deciduous trees we carry include 'Thundercloud' ornamental plum, with its pink flowers in early spring and wine-purple leaves all season; Katsura, which offers great shading qualities and bright golden orange fall color; and 'Jacquemontii' Birch, with beautiful white bark. We also carry other varieties of deciduous trees--call us for availability!
