We are committed to producing quality trees at competitive prices for Texas landowners, landscapers, and nurseries. Located 100 miles west of San Antonio, our tree farm operates as part of a working Hill Country ranch, combining tradition with innovation. Established in 1999 by owner Steve Dutton, we specialize in 45-gallon container-grown trees with selected larger sizes available. Our focus on superior tree health through container-grown methods enables year-round planting with excellent survivability and rapid growth. We maintain a hands-on approach with limited annual production (1,500 trees) to ensure exceptional care for both trees and customers.Our sophisticated watering system allows precise monitoring and nutrient management for optimal tree development. Managed daily by Lee Jones since 2019, we offer personalized service for appointments, deliveries, and on-site pickups. Our team combines generational knowledge with modern techniques to serve Texas landowners across diverse regions.
