Do any of your evergreen trees look like these
above? This is winter burn and there is a lot of this on younger trees, after
the long, cold winter we have had. They are not dead so do not remove them even
if they have brown or no needles on the whole tree. To check to see if they are
alive, out on the end of a branch scratch the bark slightly with your
fingernail, it should be green and sappy if they are alive, and will be fine
when the new growth comes out.

Kelly Tree Farm Windbreak
Wins Award!
Brad and Patty Manuel from Olin, IA with their
state award from Soil and Water Districts for Best Windbreak.
We planned, provided the trees and planted the windbreak in 2001.
A few of our over 20,000 potted leaf trees and
evergreen trees.
We do plant trees/shrubs through out Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Nebraska
Roots from a walnut tree only 6 months old,
the tap root has been cut in a process called undercutting. This is done
during July and the tree immediately stops all top growth and then makes many
lateral roots that are perfect for planting in the following spring. We do
this with most of our trees such as oaks, hickory, pecan, evergreens, and many
others.

Remember that anyone can sell you a tree but if it does not survive
or grows poorly in your area you have lost more than the price of
the tree you have lost your time and that is something that cannot
be replaced, Thank you for stopping by and hope to hear from you.

grow bear the best fruit" --Moliere
