Water Oak Seedlings

Water Oak Seedlings

Water Oak Seedlings, known botanically as Quercus nigra, will grow fast and mightily immediately upon planting. While providing plenty of classic appeal, oaks tend to give off a scent that animals are particularly fond of. From wet riparian zones to urban sites with compacted soils, this impactful tree leaves little to be desired. A very fast grower, this seedling will add several feet to its height each year in healthy conditions.As a monoecious tree, both male and female flowers can be found on the same tree, facilitating quick and easy pollination. The flowers hang among the leaves as inconspicuous catkins. As an acorn producer, it is frequented by nut-eating critters such as squirrels and birds. When grown in hot climates, this tree is considered semi-evergreen, unlike many deciduous trees that lose all their leaves every 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.
