Our Nursery

The Story of Ray Bracken Nursery

We've been growing and moving trees for 3 generations.

The Bracken name has been synonymous with the nursery business since the 1920s. As the photo shows, Albert T. Bracken was moving big trees even then. Today, we have combined those years of experience with modern, up-to-date equipment and technology to produce top-quality landscape plants.

Our patented Magnolia grandiflora.

‘Bracken’s Brown Beauty’ (PP#5520)

It is the finest Magnolia ever developed, having dense habit form from the ground to the top, producing a compact pyramidal-oval crown with a fast growth rate. It is cold hardy with fragrant blooms that are everblooming with the heaviest in the Spring and Fall, easily transplanted, and retains dense foliage with brown back.

If I do nothing else in my lifetime but leave the world a good tree, I've done something
