Woody Warehouse Nursery

Species are pruned accordingly based on their particular growth rate and form to maintain dominant central leaders and encourage full branch structures. Most fast growing cultivars are finished with branch-less trunk below the permanent branch structure. Slow to medium growing species such as oaks are allowed to maintain lower branch structure longer than fastser growth species to develop a sturdy height to trunk diameter ratio. Custom pruning is available for orders grown on contract. You can specify at what height the main branch structure should begin, or request a natural look, which maintains a full branch structure to the ground.

Woody Warehouse Nursery uses the Root Force technique of air-root pruning. This highly effective technique terminates the growth of the taproot and stimulates the growth of a fibrous root structure directed horizontally off the tap root. Root Force trees are propagated in our greenhouses equipped with air-root pruning benches and RootMaker propagation trays. With their roots established, tender seedlings must be hardened off before being potted and moved outside. Depending on species, our Root Force system will produce trees ranging from three to six feet tall in just eight months.
