Hardy, Big-Rooted Ozark Mountain 
Grown Trees for New York, New 
England and All Northern Planting 
William P. Stark trees are famous for their 
hardiness, vigor and heavy, well-branched, 
wide-spreading root-systems. These larger, 
heavier roots give the trees a quicker start, 
a faster growth and bring them into bearing 
very young—often a year to two years sooner 
than trees with only average roots.
