"The Growing of trees
is a lesson in Patience. They can be assisted, but never rushed" -Kevin Kelly
It is now summertime, we no longer have any regular hours we are
open so be sure to call or E-mail before coming out and we do not
plant most trees in the summer as it puts too much stress on the
planted plant and is better now to wait until after Sep 15th to do a
fall planting with potted trees. We do not plant bare root
trees in the fall as success can be very poor. We do plant all
summer the potted Austree willows ($8.50 each) and the 6 ft tall
tree you plant this summer can be 12 ft tall by fall. So do
not delay and contact us now for any fall planting you wish to have
done, as that time will be here before we know it.
If you would like one for our catalogs please
contact us.

Kelly Tree Farm Windbreak
Wins Award!
Brad and Patty Manuel from Olin, IA with their
state award from Soil and Water Districts for Best Windbreak.
We provided the trees and planted the windbreak in 2001.
A few of our over 15,000 potted leaf trees and
evergreen trees.
We do plant trees/shrubs through out Iowa and Illinois.
Roots from a walnut tree only 6 months old,
the tap root has been cut in a process called undercutting. This is done
during July and the tree immediately stops all top growth and then makes many
lateral roots that are perfect for planting in the following spring. We do
this with most of our trees such as oaks, hickory, pecan, evergreens, and many
others.

Remember that anyone can sell you a tree but if it does not survive
or grows poorly in your area you have lost more than the price of
the tree you have lost your time and that is something that cannot
be replaced, Thank you for stopping by and hope to hear from you.

grow bear the best fruit" --Moliere
