TREES – 2025 Spring Newsletter

March 21, 2025

The TREES we sell are smaller than ball & burlap trees that are dug in the field, leaving at least 75% of their roots in the ground. Ours are grown in a container so they have a complete root system and begin growing immediately and are not stressed. Selected for resilience and success in Colorado and global warming and difficult conditions.

Russian Hawthorn

Very tough and xeric, grows 15’ high and wide, white flowers and red berries, loves Colorado

Rocky Mt. Maple

Native to our foothills, likes to grow in the protection of other trees, red fall color, 10’-15’

Gambel Oak and Wavyleaf Oak

Both natives that grow 10’-15’, with little water and poor soil, support birds

Hackberry

Good shade tree to replace an ash, a fast-growing hardwood, the most drought tolerant shade tree

White Mulberry

The hardiest mulberry, 25-30’ tall and wide, very xeric, white fruit is tasty and does not stain
