Economy Bad? ..... What to do...

It is a bad economy... What can you do? What should you do.... Stocks Down? Take Stock ... nursery stock... Trees Grow Up! Many ask will this wretched economy ever bottom out? The recession is already in its 15th month, making it longer than all but two downturns since the Second World War. Right now, everything looks to be getting worse: The Dow is in free fall, jobs are vanishing every day, and one in eight American homeowners is in foreclosure or behind on payments. But there is hope... Spring is here and it is time to plant TREES....!!!!

Relax and enjoy the bounties of nature... It does not know of our troubles.
When I was in the 8th grade I would go fishing along the Delaware River at night. I would camp along the river bank and fish into the wee hours of the night. I am always drifting back to those childhood memories when I pass a river birch tree that is highlighted by lights at night. The night time interest that this tree expresses can help capture moments for you, leave the bleak recession and enjoy your landscape...Planting trees is a cheap and beneficial endeavor which will improve your properties value.
The main feature of this medium sized spreading tree is its colorful peeling bark. This tree is easy to highlight at night and it reflects light well to give added interest to your landscape. This builds up on the stem and main branches in soft curling layers of orange, pink, Grey and brown. Another great advantage of this species is its tolerance of wet soil and seasonal flooding making it an ideal pond or riverbank tree. Specimens often develop multiple stems which increases the attractiveness its shaggy bark. As an ornamental tree it also has bright green, toothed leaves and long yellow clusters of catkins in early spring. It will have a spreading root system that will check erosion. It is hardy and will seldom blow down. The plant is native to the eastern states from Massachusetts to Florida. The range continues along the Gulf of Mexico and into Texas.

If you have had trouble planting a tree the River Birch is a choice that is easy to transplant. Many people consider this one of the easiest hardwood trees to transplant. They are adaptable and grow fast in many soil types. These trees do not seem to be bothered by the Bronzed Birch Borer which has killed off many White Birches used in urban landscapes.

There are over 15000+ River Birch trees ready for you at our Doylestown Pa nursery. These include small seedlings and trees that range to up to 4" in caliber. Please note that the 4" caliper birches are "Heritage River Birches" and these separate the men from the boys. I want to remain a boy all my life. The 4" trees are huge and it takes a crew of at least 4 or 5 people to install one. These trees are the largest that we can handle and there are a few out in the rows that will need a digger larger than what our capacities enable us to dig. We can arrange for one of our sub contractors to dig and install if needed.
