"Thanks For Making It Possible For Us To Grow"
Fuston’s Nursery began operation in the spring of 1979. We are celebrating our 30th year in business. (1979-2009)
When we began our nursery in 1979, we grew about 4-5 varieties and increased to 28-30 varieties of trees and shrubs.
As the years past, every year we would sell partial blocks of all varieties except one – pears.
So we started growing fewer and fewer varieties to make room for more pears. No matter how many we grew, it was never enough and we always had to turn down orders. So by growing fewer varities, we could grow more pears, and by 1992, we were growing all pears, ages 1-5 years old, bare root and B&B (balled and burlaped). (B & B sizes range from 1 ½” cal. up to 3 ½” cal. with basket sizes from 18” to 32”) and our bareroot sizes are from 2' to 6' and 2 yr. branched.
My son graduated in 1995 and came on board as a full partner. Until about ten years ago, our family did all the work ourselves, everything from the planting to the digging & shipping and everything in between. We now hire employees to help with the labor. We now have over 100 acres on 4 farms in nursery and usually employ 2-8 people depending on the time of year.
At the present time we are growing over 100,000 for bare root sales and over 25,000 for B & B sales.
We are state certified & and ship all over the U.S. and sell several local nurseries here in Tennessee. By growing only Bradford & Cleveland pears we can devote all our time to providing our customers with the best quality while still providing the lowest cost anywhere because of our volume sales in these varities.
We are a family owned operation and pride ourselves in quality and customer service.
