s 2009 approaches, we will enter our 25th year of providing quality B&B and container plants for the landscape industry.  Grand River offers B&B material from 1.50” to 10” and containers 10g to 45g.  We are continually adjusting inventory plant mix and growing methods to meet our customers’ ever changing needs for quality plant material.

            Our container inventory continues to grow to meet customers’ increasing inventory needs.  Containers provide another option for customers during the growing season when B&B is unavailable.  Another advantage is reduced freight.  The lighter weight allows more trees per truck (2” B&B 96-101; 25g containers 140-160).  Consider using some containers this year for your late spring, summer, and early fall plant needs.

            The year 1984 marked the beginning of Grand River Nursery with the planting of seven acres of Oregon grown liners.  With good product, employees and customer, we have now grown to 975 acres, 60 employees and shipping customers’ quality plant material in seventeen states.  As we look forward to the next 25 years, we will work as a partner with customers and vendors toward our mutual success in this great industry.
