I usually buy a small one the first year Potted of course, bring it in two weeks before christmas then out for under cover for two weeks, then just keep it on the deck or where ever! ... and do that for 5 yrs and then plant it.. cheaper to buy in a pot and let it grow you pay for five trees plus never through it away.

If so, we will have to have a DB GTG when you're out here.
All up and down the east coast, I actually have a lot that I am suppose to sell a few hundred trees to that sets up at the farmers' market in Va Beach. I just started this a few years ago and I am going to be on the road constantly once the season starts looking for more clients to sell to, you know, good ol' door to door, or lot to lot as it were...
I will not haul them with a big rig, My niche is the fact that I guarantee that the trees have been cut within 36 hours of delivery and I also guarantee the quality of the trees that I sell...
But yeah, a GTG would be cool...
we'll figure out a date on a weekend and I'll bring the better half and the two youngins and we'll make a weekend of it!!!
See you there!

We are about an hour and a half north of VA Beach, straight up route 17. That's cool that you guarantee that they are fresh. So many times we go look for trees and they are all dry and half dead already... Just let us know when you are out this way and we will meet up.

Look, just because you were trusting enough to let me distract you while Bobby told the Hooter's girl that it was your birthday, does not mean that you have to warn people about us. OK?

And Bobby said to tell you to shut up. When he wants your opinion, he'll tell you what it is. (I'm not even gonna ask...)

D-maxJenn is right, it is a long process, but most of the trees in the pictures are close to 14-15 years old...

14 - 15 eh.. longer then i figured,, what the hieght of maturity.. 6 ft? What are they Spuce? Fir? id have to look at the pictures again to see. I know in my nursary I grew hedging ceders from seedlings, takeing the tops off from the mature ones and starting them that way.sand and root starter.. they grew 2-3 feet a year.. fast growers though ...A full hegde would be at its prime at 10 yrs...like 20 ft tall or so. Depending how big you wanted it....
