Shade, Ornamental or Evergreen Trees
Melad Tree Farm in Nampa, Idaho
Growing and selling large trees is a specialty and we absolutely love giving our customers the best! We use special construction drive mats that we lay over lawns, brick patios, etc., to get a big truck into someone’s yard without damaging their landscapes.
Some of our trees are 20+ years old. Our deciduous trees such as the Maple, Honey Locust, and Ornamental trees like the Flowering Pear and Flowering Crab Apple have been growing on our farm for years as well as our Evergreens such as the beautiful Norway and Colorado Spruces.
We have about 6,000 trees and we continue to plant baby trees every year as we look to the future, providing our customers with shade and adding value to their homes to enjoy for years to come.
