This picture was taken from the Main Street side of the farm (vs the Beard Rd side). The very old barn has been earthquake retrofitted. Some of the other "buildings" are shade rooms and frost protection sheds to help keep the young plants happier. We strive to improve the farm and the light/shade situations for the trees each year. The big blue sky is so beautiful over our little farm and makes a lovely backdrop and view while caring for all the plants. Back here are young fruit trees and oak seedlings.

A lot of medium sized mixed riparian trees were very nicely wrapped for their trip to a restoration of a wetlands in Cobb.

Talented workers have no trouble loading large trees onto a long trailer to bring them to a new landscaping project. Large native trees transplant well when grown in porous fabric containers and loved between each repotting over the years. Natural shaping and real local soil produce nice large trees from carefully selected acorns. Planting a native oak tree will be a great investment for the future. These trees are Coast Live Oaks - also known as Quercus agrifolia.

Dave Dexter and his crew from DEXTER estate landscapes moved this huge Valley Oak we grew to a Windsor, Sonoma County golf course from our growing ground at Main Street Trees in Napa. The lobata grew from an acorn that fell from the old trees on our property. This tree was about 15 years old. Valley Oaks are the most appropriate oak tree for our area with clay soil on the valley floor, although Coast Live Oaks grow great here too.
