In 1979, Clayton Nursery was started when we planted 2500 trees in Nampa, Idaho.  After more than 20 years at our Nampa farm, we moved most of our operation 20 miles west to Wilder. 

Balled and Burlap trees are the backbone of our company. We ship our trees to many different types and sizes of businesses. Most of our customers are located in the intermountain area.

We also grow #7, #10, #15, and #20 containerized trees using a "Pot-in-Pot" system.  This system provides an outstanding environment for root growth. It also prevents the trees from tipping over and provides excellent winter protection.  These trees are still grown at our Nampa farm. 

We have two basic shipping seasons for the B&B trees.  The first is from the end of February until around the first week of April.  The second is from the end of October until the snow falls, usually the first part of December. We ship the containerized trees throughout the spring and summer.

We talk with our customers to try and deliver the trees when they want them to arrive.  We schedule the flatbed trucks and ship the trees covered.  The customer pays the shipping.
