Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can you ship to fire ant quarantined counties or states?
Tree Town USA is certified to ship trees and shrubs out of our county to any county or state in the United States. We incorporate Texas Department of Agriculture approved rates of bifenthrin granules into our soil mix which are designed to prevent fire ants in containers.


2. How do you water all those trees?
We use well water that is stored in 4 large lakes, with each holding up to 5 days of water at maximum use, in case of a well pump breakdown. The lakes are stocked with bass and tilapia to eat the vegetation in the pond and provide a place for our employees to fish and get some relaxation. Our variable frequency drive system allows us to water, based on our pressure needs in the field, which helps to control our water usage and keep our electricity usage low. We water our 5 and 7 gallon material with overhead sprinklers and with drip or emitter irrigation for our 15 to 95 gallon sizes. We increase the number of emitters based on container size to meet the water demands of the tree.

3. Do you use a lot of chemicals?
We use chemicals on an as needed basis and as little as possible. Our spray program is designed to prevent fungus and insects from damaging our trees and causing unsightly wounds or blemishes. We spray with systemic chemicals which provide control for an extended length of time, thereby allowing us to spray less frequent. (We spray inside our containers, to prevent weeds from using valuable nutrients provided specifically for our trees.)

4. How quickly can I expect delivery of my material?
Typical delivery turn-around is 72 hrs for full truckloads. Smaller orders may take more time, because we have to combine it with other orders to save you money on freight. If the need arises, we can deliver in 24 hours, please contact us for more information on expedited delivery.
