Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.

Robert A. Heinlein


## Custom Growing I'm getting good at propagating willow, poplar and dogwood from cuttings. If you know that you will need a given type of willow or dogwood or poplar, let me know. Growing to your specifications you get the size of tree you want. We can also grow in partiular pots. I also grow your seedlings to larger sizes. I can provide seedlings of various trees. * 4cm x 15cm plugs (250 ml) * 10cm x 15 cm plugs (1000 ml) * #1 Stuewe tree pot (2.75 liters, 10cm x 10cm x 35cm (4x4x14 inches) The tall height gets roots down further into the ground. The slender profile makes them easy to plant with a 6" auger. * #2 Stuewe tree pot (6 liters, 15 cm x 15 cm x 40 cm (6x6x16 inches) Recommended size for conservation planting for conifers. Plant with a 10" auger. * #1 trade pot. * #2 trade pot. Shallower pots make for a more compact root ball, easier for shovel planting, or use on shallow soils. Most trees require 6 to 18 months notice. #### Terms: 25% down with contract, remainder on pickup. Cancellation forfeits deposit after I'm started work, or spent money toward your project. If I have a crop failure, I return your deposit and give you a credit equal to your deposit in addition. Example: (Numbers here are chosen to make the math simple. You want 800 mixed willows in #1 stuewe pots. We agree on a price of 5 each, for a total contract value of $4000. You pay me 1000 with the contract. You pay another 3000 when you pick up the order. If I have a crop failure, I write you a cheque for 1000 and give you a 1000 credit toward future business. If in your opinion the crop doesn't meet your specification, we can negotiate a new price. If we cannot agree, then I will return your deposit, but will not give a credit. ***
