As I write this during a heavy rain storm, it is hard to see spring coming.
Here at the nursery we can see the signs. Fruit trees are in stock, Roses are in stock and most of the bulbs have arrived. Shipments of fertilizers are coming in and we expect a container of pottery soon.
In the nursery we are seeing signs of the earliest spring blooming shrubs and trees. Forsytha is starting to pop buds, Carolina gessamine is showing some color. Camellias are starting to bloom. and our bedding plant department is starting to stir agin.
Now is the time to get ready for spring. If you would like to add some early spring interest now is the time to see what is blooming. It's time for your first fertilizing of your lawn. time for pre-emergent around shrubs and lawn.
Let's get Growing.
Our fruit trees are ready for you to come in. We have our complete selection of peaches, nectarines, plums, apricots and pluots.
Bare root season is the time to come in for our complete selection. We do have most varieties available in containers but is at least somewhat more limited.
A new variety we brought in is an Aprium called Cotton Candy.
What is an Aprium? Well, it is a hybrid between an apricot and plum. If you thought a pluot was a hybrid between plum and apricot, you were right. An aprium has a lot more apricot genes and is very similar to an apricot. The advantage an aprium has over apricots is they are much less weather sensitive.
Cotton Candy is noted for being extra sweet together with the weather toughness makes for a nice addition to our apricot selection.
I invite you to come in and check out our selection of Fruit Trees, grapes and berries.
