Liner Trees

At Kuenzi Turf & Nursery we have made many investments in our production process to create greater quality trees for our customers. Our liner trees are no exception. Many varieties are available as bare root trees, others are grown in a 10” in-ground fabric bag. This method increases overall plant health, creating a balanced branch structure and strong root system. Primarily, we have placed the liners that are hard to transplant into the in-ground root control bag, while the more rigorous/easy to transplant trees are grown as bare root. In many cases, the in-ground fabric bag liners reduce transplant loss significantly.

At our wholesale tree nursery, we take special care in the pruning process for all of our trees. We prune each one multiple times to ensure you receive a well branched tree, pruned at the right time, and harvested after carbohydrates are stored. Each tree is grown so it is ready to take off in the spring when you plant it.

Benefits of liners:

  • Great variety of trees available
  • Lower cost to customer
  • Lower cost to ship
  • Larger root mass than balled and burlapped trees
  • Less damage to tree (ships while tree is dormant)
  • Same high quality standards
