Trees are planted for their beauty of leaf and bark – whether green in summer and red in autumn; for their interesting bark and our love of them. But we also plant them simply because we enjoy their company – some trees become close friends over time, with us having swung from their branches or resting under their cool shade when play or work has been completed. While others seem to change with each season or day; perhaps exhibiting different moods.
Winter: For its delicate tracery of branches framing our view of an ever-blue or star-studded sky; their flowers like giant nosegays.
Planting trees to shield our homes from both the intense summer sun and cold winds of Winter is essential.
Nature plays an integral part of our architecture and design aesthetic.
Planting trees provides leaf cloisters for birds that wake us from too-late slumbers when everything else in Nature, save ourselves, is awake.
Planting trees has long been advocated by medical societies to provide purer air. Their expansion creates purer, less dusty environments. Medical societies advocate planting city trees to temper the heat of Summer pavements.
Planting forests helps prevent floods; keep fertile soil from washing away into valleys below; and regulate rainfall.
Trees have many economic uses – lumber, furniture, turpentine, rubber, quinine, nuts, cork, paper and windbreaks among them – that no other material can replace.
Cities and roadsides alike benefit from planting avenues of trees because it creates shade, frames vistas of extraordinary beauty, and helps prevent snowdrifts.
Realtors understand the aesthetic and civic value of trees; in addition, they increase property value. Businesses located on streets lined with trees often thrive more than those without them.
Some of us plant trees so we may act as silent witnesses to its life process.
As tree owners, we take pleasure in custom-pruning a tree to our liking, improving its fruit through breeding and adding plant food for increased vitality.
Trees fascinate us for reasons both botanical and horticultural; from their strong woody fibers, incomparably complex flowers, abundance of fruit production, to their growth processes – every aspect fascinates us.
We take great pleasure in offering an environment conducive to growth that approaches perfection.
