Byrd Tree Planting Service and Nursery is located in Liberty, Indiana about 12 miles south of Richmond. The nursery is owned by John and Jean Byrd and has been in business since 1984.

Most of the trees in our nursery have been shipped from Oregon as bare root liners. These liners are shipped about mid-winter and are stored in saw dust until early spring when we plant them. We grow the trees for several years before they are large enough to sell. We order the best quality trees we can buy and trees that will adapt well to our climate.

What makes us different from other nurseries is our selection of trees, our special way of planting large trees and our standing invitation for our customers to wander our nursery and select and tag their own trees. A golf cart is always available for those who choose not to walk.

Byrd Tree Nursery is licensed by the State of Indiana to grow and sell trees. Each year the State of Indiana inspects our trees to see that all trees are disease free. Upon inspection, our nursery dealer’s license is renewed for another year. The inspector always writes a comment of how well the nursery is kept.

If a customer would select trees from our nursery and want us to plant the trees, we would first go to their property with our tree spade and dig a hole where the new tree would go. We would then come back to the nursery and dig the tree and take it to your property and place in the hole. We move one ton of undisturbed earth with each tree and leave no mess! We can also come to your property and relocate your trees or even large shrubs with our spade.

We try to work within a 30 mile radius from the nursery when delivering trees. If the distance is farther than 30 miles or if the customer would like to plant the tree on their own, we can dig the trees and place them in a wire basket for customer pick up.
