Eastern White Cedar
Thuja occidentalis
The classic Eastern Ontario hedge. Dense, tidy and happy in damp ground — plant in rows for year-round privacy.
Quality over quantity
Our native trees & shrubs
We keep a short list of native species and do them well. Every tree is grown here or hand-picked from trusted Ontario growers, and every one is native to Eastern Ontario. Availability changes with the seasons — ask for our current list.
Showing 8 species. Mature heights are typical ranges in open-grown conditions.
White Spruce
Picea glauca
Dense, hardy and dependable — the go-to for windbreaks, snow fences and privacy screens on rural properties.
Eastern White Pine
Pinus strobus
Ontario's provincial tree. Soft blue-green needles, fast growth and a graceful mature form for larger properties.
Sugar Maple
Acer saccharum
Eastern Ontario's classic shade tree, with brilliant orange-red fall colour. Long-lived and stately.
Red Maple
Acer rubrum
Red spring flowers, scarlet fall colour and very adaptable — a faster-growing shade tree that handles wetter yards.
Serviceberry
Amelanchier spp.
White spring blossom, sweet June berries and orange fall colour. A four-season small tree for town yards.
Red-osier Dogwood
Cornus sericea
Bright red winter stems, white flowers and berries for birds. Tough, fast and great for wet spots and banks.
Nannyberry
Viburnum lentago
A tough, fast screening shrub with creamy spring flowers and dark fruit that birds love. Pairs well with cedar hedges.
Sizes
Sizes for every project
From seedlings for a windbreak to a large shade tree for the front yard. Typical sizes are below; exact availability depends on species and season.
| Size | Typical height | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Seedlings & whips | 30 cm – 1 m | Windbreaks, reforestation, hedgerows and large plantings on a budget |
| Potted | 1 – 2 m | Easy DIY planting, small yards, shrubs and mixed beds |
| Field-dug (wire basket / burlap) | 1.5 – 3.5 m | Instant presence — shade trees, specimens and privacy rows. Planting recommended. |
What we don't sell: invasive species (like Norway maple, buckthorn or burning bush) or ash trees, which are threatened by the emerald ash borer. We'd rather point you to a native alternative that will last.
Our standard
What "top quality" means to us
Nursery trees can look similar on a lot — the difference shows up five and twenty years later. Whether we grew a tree or hand-picked it from another Ontario grower, it has to meet the same standard:
- Structural pruning from the first years for a strong single leader
- Generous field spacing so crowns fill out evenly on all sides
- Root pruning for a compact, fibrous root ball that transplants well
- Sold in the proper spring and fall windows — never stock that's been sitting for months
- Every tree checked by hand before it leaves the farm

Tell us about your site — sun, soil, space and what you want the tree to do — and we'll suggest a short list that will thrive there.
- Shade for a south-facing yard
- Windbreak for a farm lane or field edge
- Privacy screen along a property line
- A wet corner that drowns everything else
