Sycamore Tree

Sycamore Tree

The American sycamore is a disease-resistant, fast-growing, native tree. The tree is long-lived, up to 600 years old. Since this beautiful tree is tolerant of pollutants, it is regularly planted in urban parks and gardens. It's also a popular tree with residential landscapers because it grows so quickly, up to six feet a year. The tree grows from 75 to 100 feet tall. Its trunk is bare and can be as much as 16 feet in diameter in older trees, though the usual diameter is 3 to 8 feet. The branches are widely spaced and form a broad, aesthetically pleasing crown.

My Milkweed is thriving!

They were delivered as six tiny roots and are growing like a weed in full sun and plenty and water. Can’t wait to see them bloom.

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.
