Our Story
About YEGTREES
Rooted in passion, grown with purpose, crafted for Alberta’s climate.
Nate Lafrance | Founder of YEGTREES
YEGTREES was founded by Nate Lafrance, a longtime landscaping professional and family man who wanted Alberta to have better tree options. After years of seeing limited varieties and little guidance for homeowners, he created YEGTREES to offer beautiful, climate-ready trees with simple, expert support. Alberta used to be a place where yellow fall colors were the only way and spring brought some crabapple flowers. Today, there is at least a dozen options which will give you the beautiful reds and oranges that you see in Ontario or Vancouver. There are also multiple incredible flowering trees that resemble Japanese Cherry trees as they flower before the leaves full push out.
When Nate first traveled to California in the early 2000s and was shocked by the beauty and diversity that could be found there. He wondered if Alberta could be that place in its own way as well. He began planting Autumn Blaze Maples and continues today with new types of crabapples, oaks, flowering trees and much more.
Nate has created a store where you can find the most exciting new and rare varieties of trees which will offer the most unique fall colors and spring shows. He wants you to be able to enjoy the beauty of the four seasons.

Crabapple - Green Wall
This rare and new green-leaf columnar tree, is a fantastic alternative to the Swedish aspen trees which are found on every corner in Edmonton and are currently being killed off. The Green Wall Crabapple will only grow half of the height that the Swedish Aspen grows which will make it fit into most home landscapes much nicer than the Aspen. Jeffries Nurseries from Manitoba created this tree and it is one of the hardiest on the prairies so you will not have to guess whether our winters will kill it off. It can grow at a moderate pace and handle all types of soils. The crabapples also make very little mess as they produce such small fruit in small quantities. In spring, the green wall crabapple will be covered in fragrant, white flowers and come fall time, the leaves will stay on the tree until well into October which is a welcome sight when so many other trees are dropping off much earlier. If you are looking for a low-maintenance alternative to the Swedish Aspen, look no further. This tree will provide even more beauty with the spring flowers. This tree is the perfect option for a hedge or feature tree in a small front yard. Growing Requirements in Alberta: This is one of the easiest trees to grow in Alberta and it will not require any special care. Water well during the first couple of summers and fertilizer when looking for extra growth. The tree is happy with all types of soils and can handle sun or part shade.
