Subject: Trees for Four Mile Recovery

One of the land owners in the Fourmile area has bought trees from us in the past (Laszlo), and he gave me your contact info.  We are a tree nursery a mile east of Lyons on Hwy 66, and we are getting out of the tree business.  We have converted our greenhouses over into hydroponic tomatoes for local grocery stores.  In doing so, we have shifted our focus away from the trees, and would like to move a lot of them.  We have been growing pine trees for reforestation contracts with the government since the early 80’s, and have started over 30 million pine trees from seed in our greenhouses.  We then shifted into the landscaping side of it, and now we are doing tomatoes.  We have about 5000 trees 6 to 10 feet tall, mostly Austrian Pine and Blue Spruce.  We also have about 3000 Austrian, 3000 Ponderosa, and 1000 spruce that are all two feet tall and ideal for planting.  They are easiest to plant and have the highest survival rate too.  The big ones we usually retail for $195, and the two footers for $25.  If enough land owners were interested in buying in bulk together those prices could come down dramatically real quick.  More then anything we would like to be able to cover our cost, and move a lot of our pine trees so we can focus all of our attention to the tomatoes.  I would love to talk if this might be something you guys are interested in.  All of our trees were grown on our property from seed, and are already used to our climate and crappy clay soil.  We used to be named Rocky Mountain Pines, and now we are Boulder Fresh.
