How to Select a Perfect Tree for Your Yard

Big….Healthy…Beautiful…and Affordable……

Four steps to follow when picking out a tree

Fall marks the beginning of one of the most prolific planting seasons in the southwest. The weather is ideal for planting and the selections are abundant. Trees are one of the most popular items to plant this fall. The four steps to follow when picking out a tree are:
• Big
• Healthy
• Beautiful
• Affordable

Look for Big Trees

The size of a tree tells much about how the nursery has cared for your tree. The growth process not only requires the right amount of water and conditions, but also nutrition. Trees are a living organism and just like us they require good soil and nutrition to grow strong, healthy and big.

A common observation made by customers that stop into Moon Valley Nursery is how unbelievably large our trees are. By selecting a tree that already has good size to it, you are able to enjoy a large canopy of shade from the moment you plant it in your yard.

Healthy leaves, growth and branch structure

Healthy trees can be spotted a mile away. They have a look of well-being with good form. Look for leaves that are appropriately colored for the season and are insect and disease free. Undersized, yellow leaves that prematurely drop are obvious signs of poor health.

Growth is an essential requirement for a healthy tree. Trees that express new extensions of terminal buds are exhibiting signs of vigor.

Check branches for breakage and/or for bark damage. Especially on the tree trunk any damage to the bark can become an easy path for disease and eventual decay.

Beautiful and pleasing to the eye

A tree that has a wide umbrella canopy, healthy leaves and sturdy branch structure is pleasing to the eye and will easily become the focal point of your landscape.
