Where does the company name come from?
The name Two Trees is derived from a long-lost poem about a homeowner whose yard contained two beautiful and valuable trees. Throughout the poem he considers the values of esthetics and financial worth and ponders how he might best manage his property and these two trees in particular. The poem's debate mimics the line we walk through the woods while helping landowners find the right management balance to meet the variety of their interests.
