Richey and Elaine Burge, with their children Bonnie and Lucy
My name is Richey Burge and I’m the owner and operator of Bolu Tree Nursery.
I graduated from Auburn University in 2009, receiving a Bachelors of Science in Wildlife Sciences. I have worked as a consultant and actively managed private properties since 2012. My primary focus has been working with landowners that wish to improve their whitetail herds. By 2015, I was actively managing 8 properties with over 200 acres of food plots, 180 acres of dove fields, and thousands of acres to be burned each year. Doing the vast majority of the work, I feel this was an important learning period that helped me unite the science of wildlife management with practical application.

"Good people to deal with, made ordering easy, delivered on time in excellent condition. Packaging was well designed, each variety clearly identified. All of the fruit trees had exceptional root systems. The Dolgo crabapples came with a huge root system. Chestnuts both hybrid and Chinese seemed to be strong and healthy. Richey has been most helpful with any questions I had, and always responds. Without a doubt I will be doing more business with Bolu."

“I see why others have given Bolu Nursery a 5.0 rating. I ordered Shumard Oaks. The trees arrived on the scheduled date and were in great condition. They were very healthy, looking like they’d been dug up the day before. It was evident that much care had been taken in packing. I’ll be ordering again in the Spring.”

“Customer service is fantastic! Ordered some trees and picked a shipping date of Labor Day accidentally. Hadn’t seen them all week so followed up with an email apologizing for picking Labor Day and just looking for a status update, sent the email Saturday morning. Richey got ahold of me right away that morning and told me that there must have been a mistake with the ordering process because it should have shipped. Let me know they would ship right away and when I should expect them. Received the trees when he had stated. Trees were beautiful and healthy, well packed. Trees are doing great planted. Will be ordering many more trees in the future! Hoping to be able to get on some kind of list to be notified when trees are available, would like to get my name in first on the new trees! Very happy customer up here in Nebraska! Good work Richey and Bolu!”

“I’ve purchased several hundred trees from Bolu Tree Nursery over the last couple years and could not be more satisfied with the quality of the tree, the survival rates, and the customer service. Looking forward to planting more this year.”

"Received several orders from BOLU this year and last. I couldn’t be happier with their product! I intentionally plan out my deliveries throughout the planting season to not be overwhelmed with planting/potting and every order has been on time and complete. I would highly recommend BOLU to anyone wanting to add diversity to their woodlands. I’m already thinking about next year and I mark my calendar for when they begin taking orders for the fall shipments. Give them a try… given a chance I’m sure you’ll share my sentiments!"

"I have bought over 2000 trees, over the past 12 years, to plant on personal property. I received my first test order from Bolu and I was very happy with the quality of seedling, the packaging and labeling. Pricing is great too. I will definitely be buying more."

"I wholeheartedly recommend Bolu Tree Nursery! Richey Burge is well versed in wildlife management which in turn provides the knowledge needed to assist the landowner on which trees will best suit their property. I’ve personally purchased 4 Dwarf Chincapin Oaks, 3 Persimmons, & 3 Chinese Chestnuts all of which are thriving. Richey provided advice on location and layout the trees would do best in. I couldn’t be happier with my trees and won’t buy from any other place in the future!"
