Trees that are sized by height or caliper are delivered with a large root ball wrapped in burlap. They require heavy equipment to install. We recommend working with a contractor for installation! They can also provide the equipment necessary for offloading the tree upon delivery. We will coordinate delivery with you so that your contractor has equipment ready upon your trees arrival! OR check the box below for ServeScape to provide offloading equipment for an additional fee.

Sourwood is a native understory deciduous tree with a straight slender trunk and a narrow oblong crown.  The glossy green leaves are finely teethed and turn a brilliant scarlet to burgundy in fall.  Drooping one-sided panicles with lightly fragrant waxy white flowers bloom in early summer that give way to silver seed capsules.  Best flowering and color in full sun with moist, rich well-drained acidic soils.
