At iTrees.com we believe in selecting only locally grown trees of the highest quality. The trees we select are grown exclusively for us and hand picked as superb specimens. As part of our commitment to the environment, we partner with growers that use sound conservation practices in their growing operations. The trees we use in our packages are all guaranteed to not only meet, but exceed, the American Nursery and Landscape Association nursery stock standards as established and accepted by the nursery industry. When choosing a tree for your yard, you want one that will grow and flourish for many years. Starting with a healthy, well-branched, locally grown tree will ensure your tree’s success. At iTrees.com we are proud to partner with quality local nurseries, and even more proud to pass this quality on to our customers.
 
At iTrees.com we want you to get the most bang for your buck. The trees we select are all at least 2” to 3” caliper balled and burlapped specimens. The caliper is the diameter of the trunk 6” above the ground, so a 2” tree has a trunk diameter of 2”. The height of the trees will depend on the tree variety. Ornamental trees like flowering crabapples are about 10 feet to start for a 2” tree. However, some of our shade trees, like maples, are over 14 feet tall to start! The term “balled and burlapped” refers to the root ball of the tree. These large trees are machine dug and placed in a basket lined with burlap early in the spring before the trees leaf out. This is the most common form of transplanting trees in the industry. We prefer balled and burlapped trees to the potted alternative, because we can be sure the trees are fresh and not root bound in a pot. This method also allows for a larger size tree to be offered.

 
Balled and bur lapped trees are measured by their caliper. The caliper of a tree is measured by the thickness of the trunk, so a 2” tree means that the trunk is 2” across. The height ranges depending on the tree but, for instance, a 2” caliper Autumn Blaze Maple is usually around 15’ tall at the time of planting! The tool used to measure caliper is actually called a caliper .
 
A clump tree or evergreen is measured by height. A clump tree, like a Whitespire Birch, is a close group of trees usually with four trunks. A 6-8’ Whitespire clump means that the size of the tree will range from 6 to 8 feet tall at the time of planting.
 
At iTrees.com we purchase our large caliper trees from the finest wholesale nurseries. All of our trees are locally grown and guaranteed to be hardy, disease free, and pest free!
