Windbreak and Yard Evergreen Trees
Bareroot - Potted - Bagged
Norway Spruce
Just a few of our over 15,000 potted trees.

For in-depth descriptions and pictures of our Windbreak trees go to our sister-site windbreaktrees.com

For over 40 years we have looked at windbreaks in Iowa and have decided that these species below have stood the test of time and Iowa's unpredictable climate. Most windbreak trees we plant will live over 100 years. We like Norway Spruce so much we've created a sister-site just for them, norwayspruce.com. We here at KTF have written up our own specifications on proper windbreak design for Iowa. Please let us know if you would like our brochure on how to set up your windbreak.  Our quantity discount on potted evergreens applies to plants that are picked up here, it does not apply to trees we plant or deliver.

Pyramidal Arborvitae's
Techny Arborvitae's
The bare root and potted trees can be shipped UPS.  Larger potted trees 3ft+ must be picked up at the nursery, potted trees carry a guarantee that we will replace up to 10% of the tree planting that doesn't survive the first year. If you are losing more than that, something else is wrong. Normal losses we plant with proper weed control is about 3%. All losses must be reported to us before Oct. 1st in the year they are planted. We do not cover losses beyond our control such as droughts, floods, lawn mowers, or animals. Call us if you have any questions.

2009 was another big year for windbreaks. It is still one of my favorite tree plantings. Blocking Cold Winter Winds makes winter bearable and beautiful.

The planting of seedling evergreen trees (except for Red Cedar) in the field or yard is usually a waste of time and money. One bite from a deer or rabbit, or failure to provide weed and grass control the first 3 year, kills 98% of those planted.  It is critical that you provide grass and animal control to your seedlings.
 

 Call us if you have any questions concerning planting and growing of evergreens.
We know what it takes. KTF
