the Haps at Brillo Verde

Brillo Verde is the tree farm and source of most of the trees and plants for Shades of Green. It's located in Tioga, Texas and ships off plants ready to sell through SOG after they cultivate them. Shades of Green management will come by and let Brillo Verde know which plants they want to bring to SOG within the next couple days to be sold.

Trees are a little tricker, because just like plants, they have their own growth rate, except it can be years after planting when they are ready for sale. Sometimes it is difficult for nurseries when selling trees because you can't exactly predict what customers are going to be looking for five years down the road.

Trees that will be packaged via Ball & Burlap and sold at Shades of Green. Ball and Burlap is when the rootball of the tree is wrapped in a burlap sack to be placed in the ground somewhere else. Their roots can be protected but also become accustomed to the new soil they're being planted in.

Trees sold in 15 or 30 gallon buckets through Shades of Green. Most of these will be ready in about one to three years.
