Connecticut Trees

Connecticut homeowners who want to enhance their residential landscape with fast-growing shade trees and shrubs should look no further than the Fast Growing Tree Nursery. Whether you live in the Central Lowlands, the Eastern Highlands, the Northwest Highlands or the Coastal Lowlands, we can fix you up with trees and shrubs to suit your needs.

The Constitution State enjoys only two climate zones – 7 and 8. This means you need to choose trees that can survive the cold winter chill and the humid summer temperatures. It’s important to select trees that will easily adapt to your region’s temperature range, rainfall, light levels and soil types for them to stay healthy and develop to their true potential.

Trees for the Connecticut Climate

Wherever you live, from Danbury to Norwich, you’ll find what you need.

The White Oak became Connecticut’s state tree because the historic Royal Charter was safely hidden in the hollow trunk of one in 1687. The famous tree, which came to be known as the Charter Oak, stood in Connecticut’s Hartford until 1856. The White Oak is one of the oldest hardwoods in North America, growing up to 65–85 feet and living around 450 years.

Get peace of mind: We guarantee your plants will arrive alive and ready to thrive! If you’re not satisfied or have issues with your plants within the first 30 days, we will replace them for you.

Growing zone matters: Plants that are not suited for your growing zone will not be covered by this guarantee. If you’re not sure whether a plant will work for your location, our Plant Experts are here to help!

Note on dormancy: If you order a deciduous tree in winter or spring and it arrives without leaves, it is likely dormant. If your tree does not start showing growth by that June, we'll be happy to help!

Drop N Grow™

Because this tree is grown in a burlap bag, its roots grow into the cloth, rather than circling around the pot. This brings moisture and nutrients into the tree, for faster, healthier growth and ease. Simply dig your hole, place the Drop 'N Grow™ bag in the center (burlap included), then use excess dirt to fill the hole. That's it!
