Containerized Trees Our containerized shade and flowering trees are a much different product than traditional “container-grown" trees. Comparing the two is an “apples and oranges" affair. Generously graded by height and caliper as well as container size, trees are generally larger than those sold by container size alone. Unlike many “container-grown" trees, our containerized trees have strong, straight trunks with heavy caliper in relation to height. By “containerized," we mean that most of our trees are field grown to nearly finished size, then established in containers for year-round sales. During their years in the field, special cultural techniques including pruning, transplanting and undercutting help to tailor a tree ideal for finishing in containers. They possess balanced, welldeveloped root systems that quickly establish themselves first in the container, and then in the landscape. Containerized in early spring, trees receive intensive care including careful pruning, fertilization and optimal irrigation throughout the growing season. Under properly controlled growing conditions which we have perfected over the years, they add considerable branch length, leaf density and caliper size while growing in containers. Because we pioneered containerization of field grown trees, you can depend on us to provide the best in the business. Eliminate the springtime headaches of potting your own. Let us do the work of growing premium trees and shrubs so you can concentrate on selling them. 8' Red Sunset Maple #10 Container Shrubs Hardy deciduous shrubs that complement our tree product line are offered in #2 and #5 Containers. Approximately two dozen species are offered from year to year, with a variety of cultivars offered within each species. These include but are not limited to: Barberry, Buddleia, Dogwood, Euonymus, Forsythia, Hydrangea, St. Johnswort, Beauty Bush, Mockorange, Ninebark, Potentilla, Cistena Plum, Buckthorn, Sumac, Willow, Spiraea, Snowberry, Lilac and Weigela. Shrub availability is published in our Container Stock Available list and is posted on our password-protected online shopping site. Our tree product line includes deciduous shrubs that lend themselves to being grown as small trees. By top grafting or developing a canopy atop an own-root standard, we offer a line of small-scale trees that are ideally suited for container culture and small-space gardening. Dwarf Forsythia, Contoneaster, Smoketree, Dwarf Korean Lilac, Japanese and Chinese Tree Lilacs, and Dappled Willow are among the tree-like shrubs described in our Reference Guide. © J.

UtiliTrees Trees worthy of our UtiliTrees designation are those best suited for planting in the restricted zone between street and sidewalk and beneath utility lines. All mature at heights that are unlikely to tangle with overhead lines. Pedestrian-friendly branching is compact or vaseshaped to allow for pruning without destroying the shape of the tree. Disease and pest resistant, these cultivars are tolerant of varied soils, climates and urban growing conditions, and require minimal maintenance. Landscape architects, urban foresters, utility company arborists and other tree specifiers are invited to use our TreeLocator SM service to find these trees in their region, grown to landscape size by our customers. Our new UtiliTrees poster is now available. Call today for your copy!

It’s designed to build relationships between our customers and tree specifiers including landscape architects, designers, urban foresters and landscape contractors. Tree specifiers: Can’t find a local source for trees described in our catalog and reference guide? We invite you to call or fax our Oregon office with your “want list” of the trees we grow. We’ll match your needs with growers in your area who have purchased our liners for growing on to finished size. We’ll provide their names so you can call them directly for availability. We’re sure you’ll find Tree Locator SM to be a useful tool for finding the finest trees. Growers: Tree Locator SM helps to bridge the gap between the demand for some of our newer cultivars and unusual varieties, and local availability. When you purchase our liners for planting and growing on to landscape size, your company name is entered into our sales history database. This is shared with tree specifiers who call us in search of the finest trees. It works! Ask your Schmidt sales representative for examples of tree sales that occurred for our customers, thanks to a referral from Tree Locator SM . Call 1-800-825-8202 and request a Tree Locator SM search tailored to your needs. 74 © J. Frank Schmidt & Son Co. www.jfschmidt.com
