The source of many tree issues can be traced to the roots. Ultimately, the success of a tree depends upon the quality and health of this hidden and often misunderstood element. Our concern for your success and the long term survival of trees is the reason we focus on growing great roots. Here, we pay as much attention to growing excellent roots as we do to developing straight, strong trunks and well-balanced branching. Undercutting, root pruning and transplanting are among the techniques we use to grow trees with strong, sturdy, well-shaped roots on trees that will thrive for you. Here we outline some of the steps we take to ensure healthy roots and vigorous trees.

Own Root American Elm As disease resistant elm cultivars become more available in the nursery trade, be sure yours are grown on their own roots or on disease resistant rootstocks! Asian hybrids will retain their disease resistance whether propagated “own root," or budded or grafted onto U. pumila or U. parvifolia rootstocks. Because American elm cultivars are not compatible with these rootstocks, they are sometimes budded or grafted onto American elm rootstock, an unacceptable practice that negates their disease resistance. “Own root" propagation is the only proven way to propagate disease resistant American elms, and the method we use to assure you of healthy trees.
