Rainy Creek Trees will soon be in our 3rd year of selling deciduous trees. Our 6th-year trees will be planted in May, and we are looking forward to supplying customers with a homegrown product right here in Central Alberta.
Drop us a line or give us a call. We are always interested in the different varieties people are looking for. We will do our best to bring in your favorites.
We feel we are offering a different option to the consumer. Our trees are planted in bags and can be dug up all season. The root ball is not cut or disturbed and makes for easier planting . Come
