Rooted in Oklahoma Since 1984
Grand River Nursery was founded in 1984 by Charles "Charlie" Morgan in Fort Gibson, Oklahoma. For over 40 years, Charlie has supplied field-grown trees and shrubs to the nursery industry throughout the United States — serving rewholesalers, retail nurseries, landscape contractors, and commercial buyers across 17 states.
BalledAndBurlapped.com is the direct online storefront for Grand River Nursery's field inventory. When you order here, you're buying directly from the source — field-grown stock on 450 acres of ideal Oklahoma growing ground, situated along the Arkansas River.
450 Acres of Field-Grown B&B Stock
Grand River grows the majority of its nursery stock using traditional field-production methods on well-drained Oklahoma soils ideal for producing large-caliper balled-and-burlapped trees. Nearly all stock is under drip irrigation and grown to exacting standards before harvest.
"We don't dig every tree in the row. Each plant must meet our quality standards before harvest." — Charlie Morgan
Most trees are marketed at 2- to 3-inch caliper, with trees up to 6-inch caliper available. Grand River grows approximately 150 selections of deciduous, coniferous, and broadleaf evergreens at any given time — from industry staples like Autumn Blaze Maple and Cleveland Select Pear to less commonly produced species like Persian Ironwood and Fall Fiesta Sugar Maple.
Quality You Can Count On
Charlie has spent decades sourcing disease-resistant crabapples, Dutch elm disease-resistant elms, and regionally appropriate species that can handle the climatic challenges from Arizona to Michigan to Texas. His commitment to growing tried-and-true, pest-resistant selections has helped transition Oklahoma nursery production toward more sustainable, lower-input practices.
Grand River's loyal customer base speaks for itself — many of Charlie's customers have been buying from him for nearly two decades.
