Moon Valley Nurseries values the quality of our trees and plants above all else, and transporting trees to and from installations can be one of the biggest causes of shock a plant can face. To help manage that stress, Moon Valley Nurseries takes every step necessary, including covering tree canopies during transportation to minimize wind damage, sun exposure, or cold temperature damage. Covering our tree canopies helps us ensure that once planted, our customers love how their new landscape looks!
Transporting trees comes with a stressful obstacle… wind damage! While on our delivery trucks, trees and plants are subject to high speeds and intense wind stress. These strong winds can damage branches and foliage and dry out the canopy. To combat this, Moon Valley Nurseries places a cover over our tree canopies, minimizing wind exposure and preserving their health and structure.
Sun exposure can have detrimental effects on your tree and plants health. Prolonged sun, without proper water, can lead to stress, dehydration, and sun burn damage. When transporting to and from installations, our trees and plants must be taken off water lines and won’t be watered until they’re planted in the ground, so the most effective way to prevent sun damage is with a cover. This is especially true for young or less mature trees, where sun exposure can be detrimental and even cause death.
The final hurdle when transporting trees and plants, depending on the time of year, is cold temperatures. Planted trees have an insulated root-system, which provides protection. To protect the trees and plants before they get installed, we utilize a cover. This cover allows moisture and heat to stay close to the trees and plants, helping create a microclimate so everything arrives in peak condition, even in colder months!
The industry standard for tree and plant installation is vastly different then what you experience at Moon Valley Nurseries. Other places deliver balled and burlapped trees, as opposed to our box-grown trees. Other places won’t utilize a tree cover for deliver, while Moon Valley Nurseries guarantees everything we bring is protected for your satisfaction. With Moon Valley Nurseries, you get the highest quality trees and plants, delivered and planted to ensure your landscape is ready to thrive!
Transporting trees can be a bit tricker then most people imagine, but Moon Valley Nurseries takes every step to ensure the protection and health of our customers trees and plants! Covering our trees is essential for their health, longevity, and growth, and Moon Valley Nurseries takes pride in our ability to always deliver the quality service we’re known for!
