The narrow columnar shape Taylor holdsThe narrow columnar shape Taylor holdsTaylor came off a wild redcedar near Taylor, Nebraska in 1978, and the Nebraska Statewide Arboretum released it to the trade in 1992. It goes 20 to 25 feet tall and stays 3 to 4 feet wide, emerald green, hardy well past thirty below. If you have ever wanted an Italian cypress line in a Missouri yard, this is the plant that actually delivers it.
Off-the-lot means you pick it up and plant it yourself. Planted means we deliver it, plant it right, and back it with our Year One warranty. Tap a price to add it to your list, then send the whole list to Matt in one request. Want several of one tree, or a mix? Add them all and Matt quotes the count.
What does "gallon" mean? It is the size of the container the tree is growing in, not how many trees you get. The bigger the number, the bigger and more established the tree you take home, so a 30 gallon tree gives you shade and privacy years sooner than a 15 gallon one.
Full warranty for one year after planting. This comes with any needed care and free check ups upon request. All needed treatments or pruning are included for first year. If tree fails to thrive, no cost replacement.
Picked, delivered, and planted by a Board Certified Master Arborist.
Follow-up visits through the whole first year, not a wave goodbye.
Deep root feeding and structural pruning while it takes hold.
That is the warranty. No fine print, no chasing us down.
Pick a spot with full sun. This one matures between 20 and 40 feet, so plant it about 15 feet from the house and 12 to 15 feet from other trees. Heavy Missouri clay is not a problem for this tree. Growth rate is medium, so you know what to expect season to season.
Not sure about your spot? Send us a photo of the yard with your quote request and we will tell you straight if it will work.
Water deeply once or twice a week through the first growing season, and step it up in July and August heat. Keep a 2 to 3 inch mulch ring around the base, pulled back from the trunk. Spring and fall are both good planting windows in mid-Missouri.
Or skip the checklist: have us plant it and Year One covers all of this. We feed it, prune it, and come back to check on it.
Request a quote and tell us where it is going. We will confirm availability, delivery, and a planting date.
Straight answers to what people ask before they buy. Anything else, just call.
Three to four feet across at maturity on a plant that goes 20 to 25 feet up. That is better than a six to one ratio, about as vertical as a hardy evergreen gets. Plant them three feet apart for a solid hedge you never have to prune, or stand one alone as an exclamation point beside an entry.
No. Taylor is a newer selection and there is no free-to-use photo of it, so we show 'Skyrocket', the narrow columnar juniper it gets compared to, plus the species' foliage and fruit. The shape and the fruit are right. Taylor's green is a truer emerald than Skyrocket's blue-gray, and that is the one thing these photos get wrong. Ask us for a photo of our current lot.
Yes. It came out of Nebraska and it is rated to zone 3, which is well past anything Missouri has ever thrown at it. That hardiness is also why it does not burn on the windward side, which is the usual way narrow evergreens fail around here. If you want the same vertical line plus salt tolerance for a drive, Emerald Sentinel is the other option.
Yes. Every tree on the lot has an off-the-lot price, you pick it up and plant it yourself. The planted price adds delivery, planting, and the Year One warranty.
Every planted tree comes with follow-up visits, deep root feeding, and structural pruning through its first year. If the tree fails in Year One, we make it right. You can extend it to Year Two for 20 percent and Year Three for 15 percent of the planted price.
Spring and fall are both good windows. Fall planting gives the roots time to settle in before summer heat. Request a quote and we will work out timing with you.
Yes. The whole lot is open to trade buyers. Ask about volume pricing when you reach out.
Tell us the spot and the job. A Board Certified Master Arborist picks with you, plants it right, and stands behind it for Year One.
