What Is a Balled and Burlapped (B&B) tree?
Balled & Burlapped (B&B) trees are big, established trees with their roots wrapped in burlap and secured in a wire basket—ready to plant and thrive from day one. These aren’t starter sticks. They're mature, northern-hardy trees that offer instant impact.
Why Choose a B&B Tree from Mandy’s?
🌳 Instant Privacy
Block out your neighbors or hide that shed with tall, full trees that make a statement. We carry evergreens and deciduous trees from 5' to 35' tall, ready to be installed on day one.
🌤 Real Shade
According to Casey Trees and the EPA, shaded areas under trees can be up to 25°F cooler than nearby sunlit areas. Trees don’t just look good—they provide excellent shade and protect your landscape from heat stress.
❄️ Grown for the North
We grow and source trees for USDA Hardiness Zones 4–6. That means they’re field-tested for tough winters and proven to thrive here. See your zone here.
What’s in the Bundle?
- Root Ball: Keeps the tree’s core root system intact, reducing transplant shock.
- Burlap Wrap: Biodegradable and breathable, protects the root ball and breaks down over time.
- Wire Basket: Provides support during handling, transport, and planting—essential for big trees.
