Weeping Trees<br />
Weeping forms of Flowering Cherry,<br />
Crabapple, Mulberry, Siberian Peashrub and<br />
others are graded by head quality. Certain<br />
compact or dwarf forms of Crabapple, Ash,<br />
Linden, Locust and others are grown as<br />
top grafts, which are<br />
also graded by head<br />
quality. Heavy Select<br />
and Number 1 grades<br />
should be used for<br />
landscape installations<br />
and quality garden<br />
center sales. Number<br />
1 light and Number 2<br />
grades are lighter and<br />
less full, and therefore<br />
offered at a lower price.<br />
They are good for growers<br />
who line out stock<br />
for several years.<br />

<strong>Co</strong>ntorted Trees<br />
<strong>Co</strong>ntorted trees are trained<br />
from their first flush of<br />
growth as whips to develop<br />
a contorted, snaking trunk.<br />
Graded by head quality,<br />
the caliper of these trees<br />
is equivalent to straight<br />
trunked trees of the same<br />
grade and variety, but with<br />
a shorter overall height<br />
due to their curved trunks.<br />
As is the case with weeping<br />
trees, heavy select and<br />
Number 1 grades are best<br />
for landscape installation<br />
and garden center sales.<br />
Number 1 light and Number<br />
2 grades are a less expensive<br />
alternative for growers who<br />
line them out for several years.<br />

Balled & Burlapped Trees<br />
Multiple Stemmed Forms<br />
B&B trees are appropriate for<br />
lining out in the field, landscape<br />
installation, immediate garden<br />
center sales, or containerizing<br />
for future sale. Our B&B line<br />
complements bare root<br />
production by offering balled<br />
and burlapped trees of varieties<br />
that are difficult to handle bare<br />
root. Some varieties are offered<br />
B&B as well as bare root so<br />
growers can choose the type of<br />
liner that works best for them.<br />
Trees are carefully dug by hand<br />
by our own crews.<br />

Six–foot B&B<br />
A variety of plants are grown<br />
with multiple stems. If several<br />
separate root stocks are<br />
combined, we consider the<br />
plant a clump. Paper and<br />
European Birch are produced<br />
this way. Bushes and multi-stem<br />
trees are produced by stubbing<br />
a single understock just above<br />
ground level, and encouraging<br />
several stems to grow. If the<br />
plant matures to less than 15<br />
feet, we classify it as a bush.<br />
If it normally grows to tree-sized<br />
proportions we call it multi-stem.<br />
