Custom Soil
Our commitment to the highest standards starts at the
beginning. At Sumter Gardens, we use only custom-mixed
soil, leaving nothing to chance. Our unique peat mix
has been formulated to meet our exacting specifications
in order to ensure proper pH levels, as well as proper
drainage and aeration of root systems.
Container-grown
To ensure maximum control over growing conditions and
to minimize the stress that comes with ground transfers,
all of our trees are container-grown. No exceptions. We
use only premium, heavy-stock containers to minimize root
damage or soil loss during shipping.
Early staking
All saplings are staked at an early age to ensure straight
trunks and to enhance the uniformity and natural beauty
of our stock.
Frequent Watering
Professional tree farmers know that consistent application
of pH-controlled water is the best way — the only
way — to reduce stress and ensure the healthiest
trees. Using the industry's best hydro-management practices,
we monitor soil moisture daily and adjust the amount
of water each plant receives accordingly. As a result,
foliage is bright and supple, trunks are straight, and
branches are thick and properly nourished.
Professional Pruning
Using exacting standards, every one of our trees is
professionally pruned to maximize the uniformity of
our stock and the health of our trees. In fact, all
of our trees are pruned to meet Florida grades and standards
for #1 trees. And of course, proper pruning brings out
the natural beauty of our trees.
Fantastic Weather Conditions
Sumter Gardens is located in the heart of sunny Florida.
Mild weather and year-round sunshine are your assurances
that the harmful effects of extreme cold weather have
not damaged our trees.
