Most of these are grown outdoors in fields like any farm crop. The aerial photograph above shows many of the nursery's outdoor fields. We have about 80 acres available for production. A windbreak subdivides each field to protect our soils and crops. Below is a field of Colorado blue spruce seedlings, our state tree.
Blue spruce makes an excellent long-lived windbreak.
Besides outdoor production, our nursery has 18,000 square feet on greenhouse space. We produce most of our evergreens here. Our history has shown that container grown evergreens offer improved survival over bareroot seedlings. It all starts with seed. With most of the deciduous or broadleaf trees we raise it is necessary to seed in the fall.
