Be an Awesome Ancestor; Plant and Care for Trees!

We are a bare root, air pruned tree and shrub nursery in Boston Metro-West. We sell trees in kits because planting a complex variety of vegetation in a compact space supports high biodiversity above, at, and below the soil line.

Some species are grown from seed; others from stock supplied by wholesale sources. Source ecoregions are notated as are native status, cultivars, ideal growing conditions, and growth habit (height, width, tendency to sucker, etc.)

Our Kits are created to address ecosystem support or restoration and client visions – have you long wanted a privacy hedgerow close to your back door that also provides berries for your mid-summer breakfasts or a pot of jam?

Our tree kits are available for fall delivery. Please contact us to be notified when the current kit contents have been sorted! We cull and prune throughout the summer and have a good idea of plant counts by mid August.

We Grow Trees for Pocket Forests.

You can prep your location using either:

the no-dig method promoted in Basil Camu’s book (see chapter 17: A Better Way to Plant Forests)

a soil remediation method proposed by Miyawaki Forest enthusiasts

Pocket Forest Projects

Spring 2026 we provided bare root trees for a pocket forest being planted in the fall by Trees Medford.

Autumn of 2025, we provided trees to Lexington’s Camu inspired pocket forest in Lincoln Park – a capped waste site. In September, the plot was tilled and covered in cardboard and wood chips. Planting will be the first weekend of November.

Autumn of 2024, we consulted with and provided trees to Forests For Watertown’s Miyawaki Forest Project. Forests for Watertown has since documented their process and now focuses on strategically planting and caring for trees in heat-affected areas, working with the community to make a lasting impact.

Sustainably Grown Trees for New England Ecoregion 59

1 acre of trees nursery grows New England native and non-native/non-invasive trees and woody perennials primarily from ecoregion 59 seeds. We sell bare root, air pruned saplings for autumn planting.

We grow trees and shrubs for Boston area community tiny forest and Miyawaki groups, neighborhood re-wilding efforts, garden club fund raising events, farmer CSA add-ons, and home owners who want to take back space dedicated to lawn.

Contact us to be notified when we have a tree count mid summer and release kits to the website for ordering. Trees will be available for planting once dormant in late October 2026. Orders are delivery only. Drop locations will be arranged for group or CSA purchases.

Trees and shrubs slow the flow of increasingly heavy storm water events, store water under the ground during drought, and capture carbon.

They also feed wildlife, feed us, medicate us, supply our craft projects, warm or cool our homes and provide aesthetic value to our lives.

FAQs

Can individuals buy our trees?

We sell our trees to home owners, community groups, farmers, foresters, landscapers, you name it. No special access is needed.

What’s all this about native versus non-native trees?

Although many ecologists still argue for planting only native tree and shrub species, climate change is forcing us to think differently about how we can build and repair a resilient, large-canopy tree stock.

I’d like to have someone grow out a special tree so that all of my grandmother’s grandchildren can have one. Can you do that?

We really enjoy working with story trees. Please let us know as soon as you can so that we can coordinate seed harvesting and grow out for any special anniversary events.

Bare root trees? Why should I buy a tree without a pot?

Cost effective; bareroot trees and shrubs are often significantly cheaper due to reduced transportation costs

Environmentally friendly; producing a bareroot plant uses less resources, ie. less fertilisers, less compost, less water, less plastic and less transport costs than a pot grown plant.

Grow well; Bareroot plants often get settled in and grow faster than pot grown plants.

Bare root trees and shrubs are only shipped to be planted in the dormant season!
