At Productive Trees Paeroa Ltd, we strive to produce quality bare rooted deciduous trees for farm, ornamental, fruit, and aesthetic plantings. We propogate our trees from our own seed sources and graft our ornamental and fruit trees from quality materials. We grow trees in the open ground and sell them from June to September while they are dormant. This enables us to sell trees with a fully developed root system which, in turn, results in better transplanting and better growth rates compared to that of a tree grown in a bag.
