Let’s talk about value, because rootballed planting is one of the smartest investments you can make in your property.
A mature rootballed specimen might cost more upfront than a container plant, but consider what you’re actually buying: years of growth, professional field cultivation, and a tree that will be fully established and flourishing by next spring.
A Moment That Won’t Return
Some of these pieces are the final examples of designs that have reached the end of their journey with us. Once they’re gone, they’re gone forever. No special orders, no waiting lists, no “we’ll see if we can source another one.”
It’s rather like finding the perfect specimen tree – when you see it, when you know it’s right, the moment to act is now. Gardens, like life, don’t wait for perfect timing.
I give you the best odds based on experience, but gardens aren’t spreadsheets. They’re living experiments. And sometimes the most beautiful surprises come from the plants that shouldn’t work but do.
