Sand Creek Nursery Tree Farm
				40 Acres of Trees!!!
		In 1998 we purchased 40 acres of land that sits on both sides of beautiful spring fed Sand Creek. Sand Creek has its headwaters at the California Spring, a vital source of water to early western bound pioneers on the Santa Fe and California trails. As the name implies, much of the stream flows thru sandstone and much of our 40 acre tree farm has deep rich and unusually sandy soil. On the sandier ground we grow evergreens like Emerald arborvitae and Norway and Colorado spruce. On the more silt loam soils we grow oaks, maples,flowering crabapple,river birch and many other native and select non native trees. We dig our trees spring and late fall during the dormant season. Every fall we sell trees at our weekend open houses in October. Spring dug trees are heeled in at the nursery and are available for sale during the growing season, except in august, when we generally do not recommend planting B&B trees. Because we grow our own trees we offer tremendous savings over other nurseries that sell large  trees like these. We have two tree spades and transplant trees up to 4.5" in trunk caliper.
