Mission and Benefits
Digtrees.com offers easy selection of the best trees for any location, and completes the package with hands-on planting and customized information. Horticulturist Bruce F. Lindsay, founder, and the DigTrees.com team are committed to planting healthy trees and improving our environment.
Created from Bruce's vast knowledge of trees and interest in greening communities, DigTrees.com brings distinctive benefits to the tree-buying process:
- Easy to select trees that will be well-suited to the property
- Provide only mature, healthy, locally grown trees
- Help the owner decide the best place on the property to plant each tree, taking into consideration utilities (electricity, water, gas lines), climate, soil, and more
- Hand select, deliver and plant all trees
- Provide all the information needed to help the trees thrive
It's all done with a few simple clicks, and there's no need to schedule a landscaper or visit a nursery.
Developed by Bruce F. Lindsay, Horticulturist
All trees have specific limitations and in some cases unlimited growth potentials. Planting any random tree will not always do. Enter Bruce Lindsay and his wealth of tree knowledge, now channeled into this easy-to-use website.
While earning his BS in Horticulture from the University of Connecticut, Bruce gained a strong interest in the science and hands-on work associated with trees. After graduating in 1996, he worked at nurseries and landscape design firms, then branched out on his own in 2000, and has helmed Connecticut's Nutmeg Landscape & Design since 2003 (www.NutmegLandscape.com). Bruce is known as a "Human Tree Wikipedia" for his on-the-spot knowledge of tree species, bark, soil, growing cycles, and everything else related to trees!
Now it's time to share that knowledge and embark on a greater mission to help the environment by making it easier for people to add more trees to the world. Bruce's vision for DigTrees.com encompasses choosing the right tree for the application, supplying healthy trees and ensuring they're planted correctly, and providing ongoing care guidance.
"There is nothing quite as simple and beautiful as a tree, their majesty and how magnificently they exist around us. Trees hold many keys to our future," Bruce explains. "A robust tree canopy provides oxygen, absorbs carbon dioxide, filters water, saves energy by cooling our homes and buildings, and provides habitats for birds and animals. Both awe-inspiring and commonplace, trees are a beautiful natural resource."
