The Nursery’s focus is to consistently grow proven, strong landscape cultivars of shade trees, flowering trees and larger conifers.

In addition, each year a limited number of specialty trees are planted, with a focus on grafted conifers and related species.

GROWING LARGE QUALITY TREES
In planning the Nursery, care has been taken to space trees to allow for the development of beautiful specimens of 4"-6” caliper and greater. Root pruning is done at timed intervals in preparation for successful digging of these large trees. Digging is totally mechanized, using Caterpillar mounted machines.

STANDARD SIZE TREES
In addition to availability of large trees from P.P. & O. NURSERY a consistent supply of standard size trees is always available.

NURSERY MANAGEMENT
P.P. & O. NURSERY practices successful integrated Pest Management resulting in limited use of pesticides. Mechanical cultivation and hand hoeing, for weed control, make it possible for the nursery to virtually never use herbicides. Soil conservation techniques are also used, such as winter cover crops and grass-covered roadways.

The combination of these practices results in few pest problems and stronger, more healthy plants for your landscapes!
