Caldwell Shoppers Choose the Right Tree Before the Drive Out

You live near Indian Creek Plaza, where yards tend to be older and already landscaped. Many downtown Caldwell lots have mature trees and tighter spaces to work with.

Our tree nursery gives you more tree types to pick from than a typical downtown garden center. You can walk the rows and compare trees side by side, something a small city lot just can't offer.

Our staff can help you match a tree's size to a smaller downtown lot. We'll point out which trees fit tight spaces near Indian Creek Plaza, and which ones need more room to grow over time.

Lake Shore Drive Leads Straight to Wide Rows
of Ready Trees

You're used to city blocks near Indian Creek Plaza, not open farm rows. Our farm looks different once you arrive, and that's part of the appeal.

We sit near Lake Lowell, with flat rural roads that make trailer access easy. Wide-open rows let you compare trees side by side without weaving through tight aisles or parking structures.

You won't find parking meters or lot limits out here. Pull in, park, and take your time picking a tree. We also serve shoppers across Meridian, Caldwell, Boise, Eagle, and Kuna, so you're not the only one making the drive.

Confirm Tree Availability Before Making the Trip from Caldwell

We keep hundreds of trees on site at any given time. You can check our current tree availability before you make the drive out.

Early spring and early fall are the best times to plant a new tree, according to the University of Idaho Extension. Roots have more time to settle in before summer heat or winter cold sets in.

Give us a call before you leave Caldwell, and we'll walk you through what's ready that day.

Protecting a New Tree on the Ride
Back to Caldwell

You'll want your new tree to arrive home in good shape. Rural roads near our farm move faster than downtown Caldwell streets.

Farmway Rd has open stretches with higher speeds than you're used to. Wind and speed can stress branches and roots on the ride back, especially on a longer drive like this one.

Our staff prunes any damaged branches and wraps each root ball for protection before it leaves the lot. The University of Idaho Extension also recommends this step to protect roots during transport.

Farm Hours and Vehicle Space Make
Large Tree Pickup Easy
