About Our Trees & Plants

All trees and plants here at Dry Rock Trees & Nursery are grown naturally without the use of any chemical pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers.

They are also all hand processed without the use of automation equipment. This allows us to inspect and care for all of our plants on a more individual basis giving you the customer a much better quality tree or plant with a greater chance of survival in your location.

Plug Seedlings

Evergreens are delivered as plug seedlings primarily. These are trees grown in trays with cells averaging 5" deep and 2" wide at the top. Each tree grows its roots in these cells until it fills the cell and "plugs" it.

"When you get the tree, all of its roots are intact and the tree is ready start growing immediately in the spring or be ready for the dormancy of winter in a fall shipment."

Quality Containers

Some of our evergreens also come in 3 5/8" x 6" or 3.5 x 5" square pots as well. These square pots allow for good root ventilation and water absorption from the bottom.
