Why are own-root clones more dependable and predictable? “Since seed genetics vary widely, every tree will vary. This can lead to different growth rates, branch structure, time of leaf-out, and fall color. Trees that look matched in the nursery might not look matched a few years after planting.” - Jim Urban, Up By Roots

“Tree Introductions’ patience, persistence, and propagation savvy open the landscape portal to the world of cultivar oaks. Oaks on their own roots with genetically programmed uniform characteristics including growth habit, summer and fall leaf colors, clean leaf drop in autumn, ease-of-transplanting, and pest resistance guarantee success in commercial and residential landscapes.” - Dr. Michael Dirr

Extreme Nursery Culture Select Trees Root Enhancement Process
Well-developed roots increase transplant success
Combining superior genetics with Select Trees Root Enhancement Process results in trees that transplant easily and thrive in the landscape.
Rooting genetically superior trees
Hand planting, for proper root orientation, in heavy clay soils consistent with landscape sites

Extreme Nursery Culture: Root Pruning
Select Trees growing practices make a significant difference even when trees from other nurseries are genetically identical. Without Root Pruning
Hightower® Willow Oak - 3” Trunk Diameter
Root pruning initially slows down top growth, but the smaller root pruned tree below will outgrow the larger non-root pruned tree above within 2 years. With Root Pruning
Hightower® Willow Oak - 2.5” Trunk Diameter
“Select has the best guarantee you could possibly get, because these trees are selected for their vigor in tough urban conditions. They are top-pruned and root-pruned to create dense heads and to create dense root systems, so that when these trees are transplanted, you are guaranteed that they will survive and create a dense, thick, urban forest.” - Landscape Architect - Atlanta, GA

“In rejecting trees from another nursery I learned the difference again in Select Trees growing techniques. I learned that you can’t just specify trees with improved genetics like with Allee® Lacebark Elm and get trees that will work. I learned the Select Trees difference is in the quality of the tree produced. It is a mistake I will never make again as I will specify trees that are reserved at SelectTrees.” - Landscape Architect - Atlanta, GA

Dura-Heat® has more bud-breaks than other popular river birch cultivars giving it a fuller, more dense appearance. The leaves are smaller and thicker than those of most birch, and it does not defoliate as much in the summer months. “Dura-Heat® is the superior birch selection for the 21st century.” – Dr. Michael Dirr
