"The Growing of trees
is a lesson in Patience. They can be assisted, but never rushed" -Kevin

It is now the middle of May, last chance to get those trees
planted before the heat of the summer sets in. The week of May 14th will be our
last week of planting potted evergreens. The new growth is way out and
planting success is going to be going down as the trees do not have enough time
to set new roots before the heat of the summer sets in. Our deciduous
trees (Leaf trees) in the pot or all our bare root trees will be available until
the end of May. After that we can set you up for a fall planting or
delivery and we think this is best for the trees, rather than trying to plant
trees, and keep them alive, during the hot summer months.
We are no longer UPS shipping trees as the weather has become
to hot.
Our open hours are until May 31: Monday - Friday 8AM-6PM
Saturday 8AM-5PM- Other times on request.

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 planned, provided the trees and planted the windbreak in 2001.
A few of our over 20,000 potted leaf trees and
evergreen trees.
We do plant trees/shrubs through out Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Nebraska
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
