Our Northwestern New Jersey (zone 6) climate produces plants hardy for this Mid-Atlantic and New England region, with less stress from long distance shipping. Although our climate causes trees to grow slower here, requiring a little more time, this results in heavier, fuller plants which will have a greater value.
As fuel and freight costs have sky rocketed in recent years, this local advantage has been magnified. Currently we are supplying finished material to the Mid-Atlantic States and New England, and grafted liners to many eastern growers who have realized the increased profit potential of growing ornamental specimen plants on the east coast. Also this location allows us to process and deliver plant material to our customers with a very short turnaround time.
