The Importance of Selecting Local, Field Grown Trees for Your Landscape

With autumn brings a great opportunity to enhance your landscaping by planting new trees. But, it is essential you choose the right trees for your landscape. Trees can work wonders for both home and business landscapes alike but it’s important to invest in trees that will last and work well with your unique landscape and climate. There are two different ways to purchase trees; container grown or field grown. As the expert landscape design company for Lancaster, we would like to tell you more about the best way to incorporate new trees into your fall landscape.

Why local, field grown trees? 

Field grown tees are used to similar soil types like that found in your Pennsylvania lawn. Field grown trees are usually the best choice to ensure success in planting. Shade, flowering, and ever-green trees which are grown in the ground and then dug, balled and burlapped are extremely successful for the local homeowner. These trees won’t dry out as quickly as container grown trees because they have a better root system which in time ensures stability in order to anchor tree canopy. Field grown trees also have far less tendency to be plagued with circling or densely matted roots which are a common problem in container grown trees.
