Our roots go back to Dr. Robert T. Dunstan, who worked to stop the complete devastation of the American chestnut tree by breeding a blight-resistant hybrid called the Dunstan Chestnut. This resilient tree produces large, nutritious nuts that are good for wildlife, good for people, and good for the land.
We believe it’s not enough for us to talk about love of nature; we feel obliged to create living products that meet real needs. What began with chestnut has grown to include a wide variety of fruit and flowering trees. Our plants provide abundant sustenance and long-lasting beauty.
People need hardy, healthy plants and the knowledge to help them thrive. With three generations of tree-planting expertise, knowledge is in our roots. Call it dirt wisdom.
