This is the perfect time to start planting any of the trees, shrubs, and perennials. Planting now gives the plant time to establish it's root system before it starts putting out new growth in the spring. The plant is able to concentrate on getting established during the winter which gives it a much better chance to thrive in the coming years.
During the winter, plants are growing underground even though you don't see any growth above ground. With a well-established root system plants are much more tolerant of the long, hot, dry summers we have. With the summers we have been having in the past few years, that is a big plus...........less watering! It is during the second year that you begin to see the most rapid growth.
The weather is beautiful so come out and see our selection of fruit trees, shade trees, shrubs and perennials. We look forward to seeing you!
