What Distinguishes Select Trees Group From the Competition?
• We are passionate about long-lived healthy trees. We aim to provide excellence first, and profit will follow. • WE DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME, and that has many benefits: o Legacy for our children and their children—mature healthy shade trees o Increased quality of life for millions of people in the urban environment o Less expensive maintenance, and less risk that you will have to replace trees within a few years o Many positive environmental benefits like air quality that are not attained at the same level with small trees, or with trees that only live 7-10 years. • We have developed trees that will thrive in the toughest urban environments. • With the help of many good advisors and customers, over the past 25 years we have developed a five step common sense RECIPE FOR LONG-LIVED SUSTAINABLE TREES.
Recipe for Select SustainablePlus Trees Choosing the Right Tree for the Right Place
Superior Genetics
Extreme Nursery Culture
Proper Handling, & Planting
Proper Tree Care
• This recipe is similar to the recipe for a good cake and reminds us of the following: • “Have you ever eaten a spoonful of lard? What about a cup of sifted flour or a cup of sugar? Or maybe a couple of raw eggs? Probably not, but everybody has enjoyed a delicious cake – the result of mixing those ingredients together in the right proportion and baking them.” -Truett Cathy, Founder, Chick-Fil-A • WE DO IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME. • When project owners purchase trees directly, we guarantee our trees for 5 years. Most competitors will not even guarantee trees for one year. • We are most motivated by the opportunity to leave a legacy of long lived healthy sustainable shade trees. • We don’t work on commission, but are motivated by long term relationships, repeat business, and long term value and profit. • All our staff are important partners in STG. We are investing sweat equity in future ownership and/or profit based incentives. • We have been blessed with incredibly valuable advisors and mentors.
Select Trees Group Goals I. II. III. IV. V.
To create a legacy of sustainable trees that will have significant positive effects on the environment. To do such an outstanding job of selecting, growing , and servicing that our trees will be preferred to all others. To create and maintain a growth environment that gives each partner the opportunity to develop their potential and do their best work. To develop alert, progressive, leadership in all areas. To dedicate ourselves to continuous growth and to building a business dedicated to ‘EXCELLENCE IN ALL THINGS.’ sales@selecttrees.com

Why are own-root clones more dependable and predictable? “Since seed genetics vary widely, every tree will vary. This can lead to different growth rates, branch structure, time of leaf-out, and fall color. Trees that look matched in the nursery might not look matched a few years after planting.” - Jim Urban,FASLA, Up By Roots

Buyer Beware - “When purchasing a budded or grafted cultivar, only the part of the tree above ground is a genetically controlled product. The roots of the tree may be from a different species.

Extreme Nursery Culture: Root Pruning
Select Trees growing practices make a significant difference even when trees from other nurseries are genetically identical. Without Root Pruning

Root pruning initially slows down top growth, but the smaller root pruned tree below will outgrow the larger non-root pruned tree above within 2 years. With Root Pruning

“Select has the best guarantee you could possibly get, because these trees are selected for their vigor in tough urban conditions. They are top-pruned and root-pruned to create dense heads and to create dense root systems, so that when these trees are transplanted, you are guaranteed that they will survive and create a dense, thick, urban forest.” - Landscape Architect - Atlanta, GA sales@selecttrees.com

Select SustainablePlus Highbeam® Overcup Oak Quercus lyrata ‘QLFTB’ P.P.#13470
Native shade tree - own root. The first cultivar Overcup Oak available on its own root. Dr. Michael Dirr declares, “Highbeam® Overcup Oak is a refinement of one of the best native species. Its uniqueness resides in the lustrous leathery leaves, changing yellow and bronze-red in fall. Further, leaf drop is clean and uniform, without the lingering dried brown foliage common to many oak species. The gray-brown winter branches and trunk assume a scaly texture, presenting a sculptural silhouette in the winter landscape. Branches are upswept, making Highbeam® a perfect street tree.”

Select SustainablePlus Highpoint® Nuttall Oak Quercus nuttallii ‘QNFTA’ P.P.#13524
Native shade tree - own root. The first cultivar Nuttall Oak available on its own root. Leaves emerge in spring, tinged bronzy red, turning to lustrous dark green. By fall they assume a brilliant yellow/orange and drop cleanly in winter. “Highpoint® Nuttall Oak is an alternative to Pin Oak and Shumard Oak in the southern United States. The uniform growth habit, spectacular foliage, and proclivity for harsh cultural conditions are the ingredients that produce the perfect shade and street tree.”-Dr. Michael Dirr

As someone with a background in nursery production, landscape design, landscape installation, and management of plant collections, I view sustainability of trees as my top consideration when choosing a tree specimen for a landscape setting. As an instructor of horticulture I like to have properly grown and maintained specimens in our collections to present students with high standards to uphold, whether they pursue careers in production, marketing, or management of plant material. I also wholeheartedly believe that every institutional campus from elementary schools to colleges, churches and hospitals should have grounds that are looked upon as arboreta. Select Trees has been a source of high quality nursery stock for me over the past decade as I have had opportunities to create arboreta on school grounds and within neighborhoods in Upstate South Carolina. The emphasis they place on the production of a healthy root system is unparalleled in the industry. Their inventory has always performed and their service has always been superlative. Their production methods truly generate trees that are more reliably sustainable than the industry standard. The research and development end of their business has revolutionized the industry by providing us with clonal oaks. Availability of named oak cultivars that lend uniform and reliable growth characteristics to the landscape is something that seemed out of reach 20 years ago, now it is reality largely due to the efforts of Select Trees. We are pleased to have many of these selections in our campus arboretum at Spartanburg Community College. The most important thing any of us can do is leave a legacy that sustains and inspires the next generation to do the same for the generation that is to follow. Planting a seed is simple. Growing a tree is not profoundly difficult. Preserving a tree is integral to our nature. Yet our failures at each of these steps prevent many trees in modern landscapes from becoming a lasting legacy. I believe Select Trees is doing all they can to make legacies last. The rest is up to us.
Sincerely,
Kevin Parris Horticulture Instructor and Arboretum Coordinator Spartanburg Community College sales@selecttrees.com

Re: Letter of Reference for Select Trees To whom it may concern: My firm, Howell & Vancuren, Inc., has had an ongoing and successful relationship with Select Trees for over seven years and have had more than 600 trees installed on our projects. When specifying Select Trees as the source, we are completely confident that only the highest quality, most uniform trees will be received on the project site. We find no need to tag trees prior to digging since the quality is of such a consistently high level. Root pruning and vegetative propagation are two practices that set Select Trees apart from most other tree nurseries. Because of these intensive cultural practices, the survival rate of their trees has been excellent. The on-site follow-up that Select Trees has provided for our projects has been very beneficial to identify maintenance or cultural problems that might adversely affect the health of a tree. This represents a commitment on their part to “go the extra mile” to insure the success and longevity of tree planting projects in which they are involved. Please feel free to contact me with any questions regarding my experience with Select Trees and their excellent plants. Sincerely,
Joe L. Howell, ASLA Howell & Vancuren, Inc.

Reference: Letter of Reference Select Trees, Inc. P.O. Box 6671 Athens, GA30604 To Whom It May Concern: I am most happy to be able to provide my highest recommendation for Select Trees, Inc., the quality of service that this magnificent organization provides, and the quality of trees that they grow and offer to the public. As Landscape Advisor to Christopher Newport University in Newport News, Virginia, and proprietor of my own business, I have purchased specimen trees from Select Trees since the year 2000. Of the several hundred trees that I have purchased, all have survived and thrived. These trees have drawn rave reviews from clients and the public alike. The Christopher Newport University campus is recognized as one of Virginia’s most beautifully landscaped new campuses. This is due in large measure to the gorgeous trees that Select Trees has provided and which predominate on the campus. The outstanding quality of Select Tree’s plant material is matched by the service and expertise that their superb, professional staff provides. Select Tree’s horticultural personnel have come to Virginia to provide invaluable advice to me on several occasions both for the University and my private clients. They have recommended the best trees for the existing conditions, made recommendations on care, and personally helped me select trees at their nursery in Georgia. The large number of superior hybrid trees that they provide is exceptional. I firmly believe that their growing methods cannot be surpassed by any other grower in the United States. I have found no other that I feel can match their quality. When my clients request top quality trees, my first recommendation always is what Select Trees offers. Sincerely, (Sent by e-mail.

RE:
SELECT TREES
To Whom It May Concern: I’m very pleased to recommend Select Trees, Inc., a grower of specimen quality plant material. Select Trees, Inc. is the only nursery that provides nursery grown (B&B) trees that we recommend. Their cultural practices and root pruning techniques have proven to be superior and equal to, if not better than, container-grown trees. I have specified trees from Select for at least 20 years, and they have never failed to deliver specimen products to all of my projects every time. I’d like to particularly commend Mr. Chris Hughes for his personal attention to detail and follow-up to ensure that we continue to be 100% satisfied. Sincerely, NEWMAN, JACKSON, BIEBERSTEIN, INC.
