Description:  The State tree of Tennessee, Kentucky and Indiana, it’s obvious this tree is a favorite.  It is one of the fastest growing hardwood trees meaning you can watch this tree grow by leaps and bounds each year.  The tree usually grows straight up in a single trunk and has a bulb like shape to it.  As a large tree, it keeps rather compact and just likes to get tall.   The tree is also known for its beautiful flowers which looks like a tulip blossom with an orange strip.  It’s fall color is bright yellow during wet fall seasons.  This tree is a great choice for so many reasons!

Size Options: We offer size options from 1.5” caliper (diameter) to 3” caliper (diameter) trunk sizes. The 1.5” root ball is entirely feasible for the average healthy homeowner to manage with a 24” root ball at about 200 lbs. The 3” option, however, has a root ball that is 750+ pounds and so it will cost extra labor and equipment to move.

Description:  The red maple is an easy choice for most any yard.  The tree is best known for it’s stunning intense red color in the fall and it’s usually the first tree to bloom in the spring with deep red flower poofs, bees foraging for an early spring food source especially love red maples.  The young stems of this tree are usually tinged red in the winter as well and it has a smooth gray trunk that appears almost ceramic.    It’s a tree you can’t go wrong with if you’re not sure exactly what kind of tree to get, you can’t really go wrong with a red maple for your selection.    

Growing Considerations:  This is a fairly tough tree. It likes most any soil type.  It prefers a more wet soil year-round but can withstand a period of dryness once a year.  Not the best tree to plant near asphalt and concrete for this reason.  Unlike its sugar maple cousin, this tree prefers a yard that is in full sun.  For maximum fall color interest, consider planting red maple with sugar maple to have alternating varied fall color patterns.

Urban Hardy Tree: Yes

Description: Oh what a tree! The eastern red cedar has a place in Nashville and well, pretty much anywhere in America because there is little that detours this amazing tree from growing. Whether it finds a crack in asphalt, or an open wild field, you can find the eastern red cedar growing. This tree is so common it is often overlooked in the landscape, and we’d like to change that because it’s a beautiful tree that can be used for making excellent screening. This tree also makes an excellent food source for birds who need all the help they can get these days to grow their families. (Bird populations are sharply declining)

Growing Considerations: The eastern red cedar is often thought of as a tank of a tree, and it is pretty tough, but it doesn’t like to be transplanted. That’s why these trees are between the height of 4-5 feet tall and have a little bigger root ball than usual. If you grow apple trees in your yard, or if your neighbors have apple trees, this tree is not a good choice unless you don’t care about your apple trees because they can pass on cedar-apple rust. Once this tree is established very little stops this tree from growing. It is drought tolerant, love clay soil, loves sandy soil, loves loamy soil, can be a little wet, can be a little more dry… it’s just a tree that just lives to thrive wherever it grows.

Description: In our opinion, one won’t find a better oak tree than the bur oak. If you imagine an oak tree, it’s shape, it’s mammoth size potential, its strength, and poetic shape, this is the tree of your dreams. The bark of this species of oak tree is very interesting looking and the acorns are larger than normal. The acorns are how this tree gets its name because the have a fringed cap that looks like burs, but don’t worry, they are not thorny like burs.

Description: This oak tree is the toughest oak tree we offer. It is a particularly important urban tree due to its hardiness, compact growing behavior, and shade-producing benefits. Like all oak trees, this is a strong tree that you won’t have to worry about breaking in ordinary storms. These trees are among the last trees to leaf out in spring, and it is easy to think these trees did not make it through the winter. It is often well into spring before the tree’s chartreuse green leaves emerge. This oak gets its name from its unique acorn structure, which has a cap on the acorn nut.

Size Options: We offer size options from 1.5” caliper (diameter) to 3” caliper (diameter) trunk sizes. The 1.5” root ball is feasible for the average healthy homeowner to manage with a 24” root ball at about 200 lbs.

Drought & Heat Tolerant: Moderate Drought Tolerance Once Established

Description: When the American Sentry is in full bloom, its abundant fragrant yellow flowers attract so many bees, hummingbirds and butterflies that the entire tree seems to buzz with activity. Tea can be made from the flowers and their nectar produces a honey that is prized for its gourmet flavor. Even the sweet sap can be made into a syrup. With its symmetrical shape and dark green heart-shaped leaves, the American Sentry makes an attractive shade tree. 

Throughout history, Linden trees have been used in homeopathy to reduce nasal congestion, throat irritation and cough. Its sedative effects are used as remedies for nervousness and to relieve itchy skin. Since ancient times, the Linden tree has been a symbol of simplicity, innocence and kindness. The flowers’ perfume linked it to both the Greeks’ Aphrodite and the Roman’s Venus, both goddesses of love. In more recent European history, it was considered immoral to cut down a Linden tree because it was a symbol of friendship and fidelity.

Nashville musicians may already be enjoying the attractive wood of Linden trees, which is called limewood. Because the limewood has good acoustic properties and is easy to work with, it’s used to make electric and bass guitar bodies, wind instruments and even drum shells.

Growing Considerations:  This tree doesn’t tolerate urban air and water pollution well, so it's best planted in a big yard, or away from heavy vehicle traffic. It will grow well in average, well-drained soils—the more dark, rich, and loamy the better. The abundance of nectar can attract the same type of aphids which feed on Hackberries, which may in turn result in the production of “honeydew” and a thin coat of dark gray film you see on things at the end of summer. We wouldn’t worry too much about this problem as long as this tree is not planted over a parking pad.

VERY LARGE TREE; LIVING FOSSIL OF A TREE; FAST GROWING; PYRAMIDAL SHAPE; A DECIDUOUS REDWOOD

Species: Metasequoia glyptostroboides

Plant Size, Type & Delivery Height: 30 Gallon ; Greater than 6 Feet Tall

Mature Height: 75-100+ Feet

Growth Rate: Fast; 24-36”/year

Sunlight: Full Sun

Drought & Heat Tolerant: Not Really

Tree Form: Pyramidal

Description: The Dawn Redwood was once one of the most common trees on the planet with fossil records dating back 50 million years ago. It was thought to have only existed in the past , as fossils, until the 1940s when it was discovered growing in China. Since then it has made its comeback around the world as a novelty tree in many cities across the planet in arboretums, parks, and bold landscapes. This tree is closely related to the bald cypress and sequoia and so imagine that the two of those trees mixed. You can see the striking resemblance; the dawn redwood grows like a bald cypress shape and has the potential for height like a sequoia. This tree has such a fascinating history and ancient existence, that we feel it belongs in most any city around the world. This tree will one day become ginormous if allowed and will be an incredible focal point for the next generation and beyond. It is a deciduous tree, turning reddish brown in the fall before dropping its feathery leaves. The base of the trunk will often have a very pronounced fluting buttress, much more pronounced than even the bald cypress that you so often typically see.

Growing Considerations: This tree will become ginormous eventually. It will grow 2-3 feet every year once established and happy. So give it plenty of room. Think about the future of where you’ll plant it as best as possible. Think beyond your lifetime and even the lifetime of your property. Rather than planting it in the middle of your yard, perhaps in the corner where it could be worked around more easily is best?

This can be a tough tree suitable for some street tree plantings, but it does prefers a more acidic soil, which usually means a darker soil versus a more red soil. It does not do well with drought conditions typically, so find a place where it stays consistently moist.

Mono-Culture Risk: Low; Not Frequently Planted

Drought & Heat Tolerant: Yes; Prefers Moist

Description: The white oak tree (Quercus alba), not to be confused with the group of trees known as ‘white oaks,’ is the quintessential white oak. It exemplifies what we love about this group of trees with their interesting shapes, and their large lateral branches that grow as far out as the tree grows tall—this tree is the mother earth tree for the southeastern half of the North American continent, it seems. So much wildlife can sustain itself from trees like these. Intricate systems of life use this tree for food, make food from other critters using this tree for food, find home and rest in its branches—in times like these where every yard is a vital connection for our ecosystem, planting a tree like this is so important. Even if you don’t care so much about the wildlife aspect of a tree like this, you can certainly appreciate its majestic form and its giving branches that provide so much shade. If you have a large yard, we think you should strongly consider planting this tree.

Growing Considerations: This tree can grow in almost any soil type, including clay-like soils, but it really prefers moist loamy acidic soils. These soils usually look dark and are more fluffy or terse in their nature. You’ll want to give this tree a large space. It will grow fast in full sun conditions, but perhaps you have a mostly sunny patch of yard that you want to get a tree started where you’ll know one day existing trees will age out, or will be removed for some other reason, then you could plant this tree there too. It’s best for a tree like this that you plant to leave a legacy for the future. Plant it smart, try to think ahead of what may happen to it or your property when you have moved on. It’s a special tree when it becomes big, and it would be a tragedy if it were just planted in the wrong place when someone wants to do an expansion or demolition. Do your best to give it a long life for all to enjoy.
