A note about inventory and sizing. The inventory was accurate at the time of this post. Please call for an inventory check before you come to try to avoid disappointment that the trees have sold. Our inventory is always changing.
Trees are measured in different ways. Young trees are measured by height or gallon size of the pot they are grown in. Older, larger, field grown trees are measured by the diameter of the trunk about 10″ from ground level. A 2″ caliper tree has a trunk that measures a 2″ diameter just above the soil level.
