1) What does “Large Trees” mean here?
In this collection, “Large Trees” means trees that typically reach over 20 feet in mature height (variety-dependent).
2) Are these trees delivered already over 20 feet tall?
Not necessarily. Many arrive at a substantial nursery size, but “over 20 feet” refers to mature height. Current height varies by species and container/box size.
3) How do I choose between evergreen and deciduous large trees?
- Evergreen: year-round privacy and screening
- Deciduous: summer shade + winter light, seasonal color, often lighter canopy feel
4) How much space do I need for a large tree?
Plan for both canopy width and root zone. A good rule: measure the planting area and keep the mature canopy off roofs/utility lines; pick a narrower form if space is tight.
5) Do large trees use a lot of water in the Bay Area?
Water needs vary widely. Many large trees establish well with deep, consistent watering in the first 1–2 seasons, then become moderate-to-low maintenance depending on variety and microclimate.
6) Do you offer planting or delivery help for heavy trees?
Yes—large trees can require special handling. If you need placement, access planning, or professional planting, choose the tree first and then arrange the right service for your site.
7) What are common Bay Area mistakes with large trees?
Planting too close to hardscape, ignoring mature canopy width, and under-watering during establishment (even drought-tolerant trees need consistent establishment watering).
8) I want fast privacy—should I buy a large tree or a hedge?
If you want height and overhead shade, choose a large tree. If you want dense, fence-line coverage, a hedge may create privacy faster and more uniformly.
