SPRING HORTICULTURE
​

Looooong days....

4/13/2019

 
Picture
Unloading nursery trucks in the wee hours so disruption in the nursery is minimized during business hours
Picture
Nyssa sylvatica ‘Wildfire’ about to come off the truck. This fantastic tree is awesome. Glossy leaves (so shiny you can see your reflection if you hold a leaf up to your face), berries for birds in the fall, insect and disease resistant, insane burning red fall foliage, orangish new growth turning glossy deep green all summer. It’s a tree I’ve only seen planted by Mother Nature in between driveways and in wetlands only introduced into our industry recently.
Picture
Green velvet boxwood came off the truck last- full fat perfectly grown plants ready to go home with you- a treat for you and the nemesis of deer. Seemingly tasty lush foliage that is actually never ever eaten by deer.
Picture
Next on the agenda was grinding wood chips into mulch. Huge loader is operated by a young lady who weighs 105 lbs soaking wet with winter clothes on. She breaks all stereotypes.
Picture
End of the day where the sun tried to emerge from the clouds but just didn’t have the strength. Machine resting it’s tired arms after a very long tiring day of toil. Noisy!!!
Picture
Two unusual snails found on the arborvitae while unloading. Even whilst toiling, nursery eyes are open noticing mother nature’s variety.
