Sycamore: this tree was 6 ft. tall when planted in 2006 on the 200 block of North Street. It is now 54 ft. tall, growing at a rate of 47 inches every year.

 

 

 

Red Horsechestnut: one of our most-requested trees. This tree is on the 300 block of North Street and has averaged 16" of annual growth with regular watering.

 

 

 

Buckeye and Goldenraintree: planted along North Alley, on the left is an Ohio buckeye with tan-colored buckeyes. On the right is a goldenraintree with interesting light green seed pods.

 

 

 

Minnesota Strain Redbud: two years after planting, pictured in June. This tree grew to 14 feet tall in six years. This redbud cultivar is one the few hardy redbuds for our area, easily handling even the coldest winters. 

Proceeds from our tree sales have gifted and established 1000 additional living trees in Cambridge since 2006
