Oh, how I love you, thy tree! Let me count the ways- you help clean the air we breathe, you provide shelter for all the little critters, and you add beauty to our urban Kansas City landscapes. So to celebrate spring, we've organized a list of American grown, gnarly, wild, and beautiful trees. .

Although not all of these trees are actually considered trees, due to their massive growth and magnificent beauty, we will give them a pass anyways! So step outside, take a deep breath of fresh air, find the closest tree, and give it a big hug.

If you know of any mesmerizing trees in Kansas City, you can submit photos at the bottom! We would love to feature your tree on our blog!

"I think I shall never see,

A poem lovely as a tree."

-Joyce Kilmer

The European beech has been described as the finest specimen tree available. Tree expert Michael Dirr hales claims it “so beautiful that it overwhelms one at first glance.”

So today is the day! We are finally announcing the winner of our tree service gift cards from the Johnson County Home and Garden Show.  

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around the Kansas City Metro!  Everyone is starting to decorate their landscapes with beautiful lawn ornaments, their homes are being strung with vibrant lights, and soon all the bells will ring and the Carolers will start to sing!  

Along with all of the holiday cheer, we can not forget  the tradition of decorating the Christmas Tree and it all starts with the precise selection!  Unless of course, you decide to use an imposter (the artificial tree).  Here are a few reasons to stick with a "real" Christmas Tree. 

• Freshly cut Evergreens will not cost you a fortune and leave your pocket book relatively untouched!  Most start at $28 depending on what size you are looking for!  
• Real Evergreens biodegrade back into our Earth and are actually nurture the soil.  Artificial trees lay in landfills for a lifetime.  Remember they are plastic.
• Visiting a Christmas Tree Farm creates an opportunity to spend valuable time with your family, support local businesses, and cultivation!
