W Whips are young trees which have a
central leader and little or no
branching. Uniform branching will
appear in the following years.
Excellent for lining out for growing
on to caliper trees.
LB Light Branched Trees are
characterized by a strong central
leader and either have fewer
branches or branches which are
shorter than Branched trees.
Branching will often be heavier on
one side. Ideal for lining out or
potting up for future promotion to
allow trees time to fill out.
B Branched Trees are characterized by
a strong central leader and a full and
balanced branching structure. Ideal
for use in landscape settings or as
strong uniform container trees.
SERP Serpentine Trees have been trained
to develop a curving growth habit.
Caliper of trees is equal to Branched
trees.
SF/MS Shrub Form Plants have multiple
stems emerging near ground level
and don’t rely on a single central
leader.
#2 #2 Grade Trees are best
suited for lining out to grow
on to Landscape size.
Branching is often heavier on
one side and is not
symmetrical.
#1LB #1 Light Branched Trees
have fewer branches and are
symmetrical. Ideal for lining
out or potting up for future
promotion or to grow on.
#1 #1 Trees have a full and
balanced branching
structure. Ideal for landscape
settings or for strong
uniform container trees.
#1HVY #1 Heavy Trees are the top of
the line grade Landscape
ready and also ideal for
potting up, generally in
larger #15 containers.
