On 9th August 2018, a group of tree stewards from Arlington County visited White Hiouse Natives along with a Fairfax arborist, and two reps from Davey Tree.  The were accompanied by John Biche from South Riding Nurseries and WHN’s Eric Sours.  They tagged over two hundred 1¾-2” caliper trees for fall 2018 installation.  This is the second year in a row that the Arlington tree stewards have come to WHN to inspect and select each tree.  This process insures that Arlington County receives the exact trees they want and helps to build synergy between all stakeholders; client, grower and installer.
