Bald Cypress Tree

Bald Cypress Tree

The Bald Cypress Tree is a tall and stately deciduous conifer that will enhance your landscape with elegance. This tree is a great choice for shade or as an ornamental tree for collectors. It is also excellent for creating a Zen garden near a pond or other water source, such as a stream. Its light-green needles invite you to touch them, unlike the spiky ones. This is a low-maintenance tree that requires minimal effort once well-established in your garden. While it appears to be a standard evergreen, this tree is actually a deciduous conifer and will shed its soft green needles in winter.

Red Maple

I had doubts when I first opened the box. Packaged well. After planting them after two weeks they came to life and are flourishing quite well. They are very healthy and now branching out vividly. Thank you!

Giant Chicory!

I purchased a selection of blue plants. I planted the bare roots in a large planter I call the nursery. I wait until they are adapting to their new environment. When they start growing about three inches, I transplant to a larger pot, then to their permanent location in my garden. One grew to four feet. Others are 1- 2 feet! I can see buds sprouting and can’t wait until they bloom. I did have to cut the 4ft one down to 2 ft so it would get fuller.

My favorite spring flower

My absolute favorite spring flower. I’ve bought several over the years. Sometimes I’ve found they might not come up until the second year but most from this nursery come in the next spring.
