Superior Genetics

“Since seed genetics vary widely, every tree will vary. This can lead to dif-ferent growth rates, branch structure, time of leaf-out, and fall color. Trees that look matched in the nursery might not look matched a few years after

planting.” - Jim Urban, Up By Roots

DIVERSITYLONGEVITY



Own-root Clones are PREDICTABLE

“Tree Introductions’ patience, persistence, and propagation savvy open the landscape portal to the world of cultivar oaks. Oaks on their own roots with

genetically programmed uniform characteristics including growth habit, summer and fall leaf colors, clean leaf drop in autumn, ease-of-transplanting, and pest

resistance guarantee success in commercial and residential landscapes.” - Dr. Michael Dirr

Extreme Nursery CultureSelect Trees Root Enhancement Process

Rooting genetically superior trees

Hand planting, for proper root orien-tation, in heavy clay soils consistent with landscape sites

100% Root Pruning to create dense, fi-brous root systems

Harvest with Optimal spade to caputure more of the roots

Well-developed roots increase transplant success

Combining superior genetics with Select Trees Root Enhancement Process results in trees that transplant easily and thrive in the landscape.

Select Trees


Select Trees growing practices make a significant difference even when trees from other nurseries are genetically identical.

Extreme Nursery Culture: Root Pruning

“Select has the best guarantee you could possibly get, because these trees are selected for their vigor in tough urban conditions. They are top-pruned and root-pruned to create dense heads and to create dense root systems, so that when these trees are transplanted, you are guaranteed that they will

survive and create a dense, thick, urban forest.” - Landscape Architect - Atlanta, GA

Without Root Pruning

Root pruning initially slows down top growth, but the smaller root pruned tree below will outgrow the larg-

er non-root pruned tree above within 2 years.

With Root Pruning

Hightower® Willow Oak - 2.5” Trunk Diameter

Hightower® Willow Oak - 3” Trunk Diameter


Trees that have a central leader developed in the nursery will be more structurally sound

“In rejecting trees from another nursery I learned the difference again in Select Trees growing techniques. I learned that you can’t just specify trees with improved genetics like with Allee® Lacebark Elm and get trees that will work. I learned the Select Trees difference is in the quality of the tree produced. It is a mistake I will

never make again as I will specify trees that are reserved at SelectTrees.” - Landscape Architect - Atlanta, GA

Alta® Southern MagnoliaMagnolia grandiflora ‘TMGH’ P.P.#11612While most Southern Magnolias have a broad spreading, pyramidal shape, Alta® offers a more contained, denser form which can be attributed to its tight branching pattern. The small foliage brings a finer, more formal texture to the landscape, changing the perception of a traditional Southern Magnolia.. “The gaps in Southern Magnolia aesthetics and culture have been filled by Alta®.” – Dr. Michael Dirr

The first cultivar Overcup Oak available on its own root. Dr. Michael Dirr declares, “Highbeam® Overcup Oak is a refinement of one of the best native species. Its uniqueness resides in the lustrous leathery leaves, changing yellow and bronze-red in fall. Further, leaf drop is clean and uniform, without the lingering dried brown foliage common to many oak species. The gray-brown winter branches and trunk assume a scaly texture, presenting a sculptural silhouette in the winter landscape. Branches are upswept, making Highbeam® a perfect street tree.”
