2 Dear Friends, This is who we are and this is what we do. The photo inset depicts our tree planting crews lining out trees this past spring. We have been committed to supplying quality trees and shrubs to the landscape industry since While many growers have pulled back dramatically or even halted production altogether, we are demonstrating our strength and confidence in the future of the nursery and landscape industry by planting more than 50,000 trees this past spring. We have also been staying current with the ever-changing nursery market by adapting and changing in several ways. Our pot in pot method of container tree production continues to improve and expand. We are continually evaluating and adding new items to both our field and container production. Please note the NEW logo next to these items in the catalog. We produce an informative weekly that many of you take advantage of. This list contains current availability, sizing, and bloom information, as well as pictures, specials and a link to our website. We also have added another delivery truck to our fleet to help facilitate our timely deliveries. Going forward, we feel we are positioned to help you with your current and future needs. Our sales team has a combined 90 years of real world experience in helping our customers find solutions to their nursery and landscape requirements. We also guarantee that you will always be treated fairly, honestly and with respect, because that is who we are and what we do. Steven R.
