Camperdown Elms

I know it's been a long time since we've had Camperdown Elms available, BUT there is good news! I just got 12 in this week!! Keep in mind, they are still in small pots and need to be potted up but the tops are large enough that we might be able to ship a few this fall. As you know there is a waiting list and we won't be able to get to everyone with this shipment, but there are more on the way next year. At least we've got the pipeline flowing now! So, send in your requests if you haven't done so already.

Weeping Pagoda Trees are Looking Good!

Just a quick note to all you Pagoda Tree fans. They are really "coming on" well so far this spring and we may be able to clear our backlog of requests within the next year. To continue the good news, we just got in some newly grafted stock and among them are even more Pagoda Trees, so I think we'll finally be able to get a standing inventory. Yea!

Is there a 'spring' in your step?

It sure does look like spring around here! Many weeping cherries are flowering everywhere, daffodils are all but done, forsythias are in full blaze, spireas are just getting to their peak, the bradford pears (don't let me catch you with one of these in your yard!) are almost done flowering, and the crabapples are also just fabulous right now. I finally had a chance to grab my camera and head up to the greenhouse to capture some action while the baby was taking a nap. Here's what I found:

Here are some very young Crimson Queen Japanese Maples just pushing out leaves to their hearts content. They look just like little feathers. Here the weeping larches are also just starting to push out their needles. These plants put on a tremendous amount of growth last year. We should start looking to pot them into 3-gallons, so needless to say they are a great size for the price so far this year.
This is the Morioka Weeping Katsura which we have planted on our property. It's also just strating to push out leaves. It's still a young plant, approx. 3 years old, and hasn't started weeping just yet.

That's it for now! Thanks for visiting.

The big announcement! There is a new addition to our nursery staff...we were blessed to have a beautiful baby boy, Logan, on Feb 12th. Once I can get some semblance of a schedule going, we'll resume shipping. Hopefully in a week or two. Thanks everyone for your patience!

On another note, during my 7th month I was making an attempt to revamp our entire website. It's still ongoing and several of the current buy now buttons are not working. Please email me if you are having trouble ordering and I can invoice you directly for the plants you want. Thanks again for your patience in this area too! Kelly McCartney

News for the new year!

You all haven't known about this, but as I write this, I'm a little over 7 months pregnant and have about 6-7 weeks until I deliver a baby boy. He's due in mid-February! Of course, from the time he's born for about a month afterward, my email responses will be limited so please be patient as we welcome our new bundle of joy into the world. He will be a welcome addition to our growing family...our 4-year daughter is very excited and can't wait to be a big sister!

Hi! Welcome to my exploration into blogging. These posts are meant to reflect the state of the nursery at any one time and give you some feedback into what is going on around here. I welcome your comments!
