Tips
Potted seedlings give you the best value in terms of size, transplantability,
rapid growth and survivability. White Oak Nursery is dedicated to growing and promoting the use of native
plant species and making them an integral part of our landscapes. I have pioneered the use of native plants to create wildlife habitat, natural
landscapes, woodland gardens and forest restorations.I provide landscape designs, consultation services as well as providing
complete natural landscape and woodland garden packages.My unique method of growing native plants ensures their survival in natural
landscapes and difficult sites. Plants grown in 5" x 8" size pots are sized and priced
to create beautiful natural gardens and landscapes that are biologically
diverse, ornamentally complex and economically affordable to every homeowner. Potted-liners extend the transplant season and can be planted in the fall
or spring with equal success. Liners are produced using TB (tree bands) and root control fabric to develop
a fibrous and well branched root system. Seedlings in 5 x 8 tree bands are 2 to 3 year old heavy
transplants.
