In this short demonstration, Bailey from TN Nursery walks viewers through the daily nursery tasks of grading and bundling tree stock, cutting live stakes, and preparing seedlings for shipment. He explains how redbud and persimmon seedlings are inspected, sorted, and culled, describing the bundling technique (bottom‑middle‑top) and the removal of green straps before shipping. The video also showcases the quality of live stakes, highlights the culling of poor‑quality trees (which are burned), and promotes the nursery’s online store (tnnursery.net) with a buy‑one‑get‑one‑free sale. The overall message emphasizes rigorous quality control, proper packaging, and the convenience of ordering directly from the nursery.

Hey everyone, it's Bailey with TN Nursery, and today the boys are grading and bundling, and we're also cutting live stakes. Now you can see we, we got a lot going on in here. There comes one with about a bundle of, I'd say, 20 trees, and he's going to bundle them up. Them are going to one of y'all. Them are redbud trees, and we bundle at the top— I mean, at the bottom, then the middle, and then the top. And sometimes we ship, you know, when we ship them out, we bundle them all together like this, and some of y'all think that it's just one tree, but you have to cut the green straps. And here's some of our live stakes. They're fine quality, a good caliber. And there's some little seedlings. There's some few persimmon. You can tell by them dark roots. Here he is grading any of them that is coals. We cull them, we burn them. Y'all get good stuff here because we make sure it's only good quality comes out. And these are, looks like seedling persimmons too. And here's some more. I believe all they're fooling with today is seedlings and redbuds and stakes. And here he is counting and culling and, uh, doing the size difference. You can shop now at tnursery.net, that's our website, and we ship right to your door.
