Peelerosa Tree Farm focuses on Oklahoma-friendly trees: Growers rely on grow bags to produce quality trees

摘要

In just five years, Les and Benita Peeler, co-owners of Peelerosa Tree Farm, have turned 35 formerly untamed acres of land into a thriving nursery in Harrah, Okla. And they are just getting started with a balance of 45 acres left to develop. This full-service wholesale nursery is in its third year of sales, and the Peelers continue to evolve by listening to the needs of their clientele and responding accordingly. The Peelers independently came to the realization that there was more that needed to bedone with their land besides just hay and cattle production. This gut feeling became more pronounced as they began touring Oklahoma tree farms. Benita has backed up her in-field training with horticultural courses at Oklahoma State University-Oklahoma City.
