Our Story
Proudly Family Owned & Operated Since 1974.
Stewart’s Tree Service was founded in 1974 by Jimmy Stewart in Brooksville, Florida and is still family owned and operated to this day. Jimmy, his daughter Stacey and sons Randy, Jamie and Rusty all work at the nursery. Over the years Stewart’s Tree Service has grown to be one of the highest quality tree grower and volume sellers. In 1997, we were awarded “Growers of the Year” by the FNGLA.
Throughout the years, we have grown to have more than 130,000 trees planted on 300-400 acres of land that is in active production.
Meet the Owner
Jimmy Stewart
Jimmy started his business by digging Queen Palms and selling them to local retail nurseries. Since then he has been committed to increasing the quality of trees and selling only the best tree possible to consumers which is the main reason Jimmy helped found Roots Plus Growers (RPG) in 1994.
Jimmy also created the method of harvesting B&B trees with a liner that is used by the growers in the tree industry today.
What is Roots Plus Growers (RPG)?
