No. Choose from: Our Source Nurseries (1200+ plants) and Other Wake nurseries. Tell us what & where. If you purchase and bring home yourself, we install customer-supplied plants. How do you list your plants? are LARGEST to smallest, Evergreen on Left, Deciduous on Right. Easy to scan for correct size plants. Flowers and More are by Family. Easy to scan for pictures. The Index has all 250+ we do list. Sorry if we do not list your plant here. Our Source Nurseries list 1200+ plants. Why are the plants listed by height in Trees & Shrubs, and by families in Flowers? Trees and shrubs are best selected by size, to fit the given space. Flowers are best selected by families, to fit the given whimsy. Why is there a range of heights listed? Local environment affects height. Trees rarely reach the listed maximum height when planted in an open garden. Very tall trees usually grow in a deep forest, reaching ever-higher for limited light. When is the best time to plant? Here in NC, the growing (and planting) season is year-round. Generally, the more time plants get to root in before the summer heat, the better. Some more delicate plants are better off waiting until after the last frost. Semi-evergreen plants are best in March. Avoid Balled & Burlapped stock during the hot summer months. They are usually dug-to-order, preferably when the roots are dormant during the cooler seasons. Potted plants are a safer alternative, since the entire root system remains intact. Warranties has specific exclusions. What is Balled & Burlapped? and why are B&B sales restricted in the summer? B&B plants are grown in an open field, not in a pot. They are usually harvested to order by a large truck-mounted spade. The root system is then bound in burlap and wire. Growing B&B is more economical than pots (less maintenance & watering), but the harvesting of B&B stock is a very distressing event for the tree: over 80% of the root structure is cut off when they are dug up. Risk of failure is much higher during the summer, so sales are restricted. Plant during the cooler, dormant season, and they will have some time to settle in before the summer heat. Best B&B time: October 15 through April 1. Why is there burlap left on the trunk after planting? Burlap is left on some larger trunks to protect against sun-scald through the first winter. Please remove it after leaf-out in the springtime. How do we control common plant diseases, like black spot and powdery mildew? Try a plant care formula from your local home store. A product like Bayer Advanced Garden Disease Control should keep these issues in check. This website sure has a lot of links to other sites and stuff. Do people really use those? Yes, actually: Mike and Traci use them. A lot! We can research, check availability, and report to customers fast! |
Navigation Scroll down each of the 4 main tabs to see most of website. Several popups, too. Roll over most links, icons, and pictures for additional information. Index is at foot of Trees & Shrubs page. 250+ plants cross-referenced by multiple common and botanical names. Replace Help (& only Help page) with left links on Help page. Top Care For New Plantings Watering Plants like about one inch a week, spread out over 1 or 2 waterings. Consumption rises greatly during really hot weather, so apply more water and more often. Just 1/2" required during the cooler season (under 60F). Rainfall will help a lot, so keep track with a rain gage. An empty tuna can, measuring just over an inch, can serve as a rain gauge. Allow a minor drought once a month to help prevent root rot. Just 5 or 6 days of no irrigation and minor rain events only. Quick spring showers will usually just moisten the mulch, leaving the roots dry. Stage 2 Instructions (when if effect) Use reclaimed water or a rainbarrel if available. If you can't use hose or irrigate, use a big watering can with shower head. Refill fast from tub. Newer plantings: water area just 3"-9" away from stem, where roots are. Diligent watering will keep plants alive. Fertilizing Your new plants have slow-release fertilizer tablets buried about 4" down. These tabs last up to 2 years as they are broken down by bacteria. It's OK to add additional fertilizer, but none is needed for 2 years. Although fertilization is optional after a plant is established, plants will respond to regular water and nutrients with faster growth, more fullness, and more blooming. Mulching Plants like a new layer of mulch at least once a year. 2 to 3" should do it. Keep all mulch from piling up against the stem of the plant (bug invasion route). In addition to retaining moisture, mulch keeps the roots cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Pruning Times Winter is the most common time to prune, with no real damage done on most plants. Read on for more specific information: For trees or shrubs that bloom in summer or fall, on current year's growth (Crape Myrtle, Rose of Sharon), prune in winter. For trees or shrubs that bloom in spring from buds on one-year-old wood (Dogwood, flowering fruit trees), prune when their flowers fade. Prune pines, maples, cherries and birches in summer "J" months. Pruning at other times will cause the sap to run from their cuts in spring and look a mess. For conifers (needle trees such as pine, cedar and hemlock), you can remove whole branches back to the trunk. Leave part of the branch with some needles if you want it to grow back. Keep the lower branches on the trunks of larger trees for 1 or 2 years to protect against sun-scald. Top Plant Sizing Plants will arrive either in a pot or as B&B (Balled & Burlapped). Plants are priced by caliper, by gallons, or by height. Caliper is the diameter of the trunk measured 6" above ground. Applies mainly to large B&B. Gallons is the size of the plastic pot the plant may arrive in. This is a nominal dimension, not the actual gallon capacity. Height is measured from base of plant, not the base of pot or rootball. Any plant may sometimes be listed this way, instead of by caliper or gallon. Top Design Strategy Consider the land as spaces, or "rooms". Want big open air? more privacy? maybe a natural fence? or even remove barriers? many many questions . . . Try finding your best structural plant options with the Trees & Shrubs page: 1. Decide Evergreen vs. Deciduous Deciduous plants in the left column. Evergreen plants in the right column. 2. Decide Size Trees & Shrubs are listed from LARGEST to smallest. Pick plants that will fit the given space, and not overwhelm over time. 3. Consider Exposure Use the little Sun and Cloud pictures to make sure plants get the right amount of light. Don't forget to check the Source, Images, and Facts links. Especially Source, as you can often see availability. Flowers and More is the jewelry of the plant world. Search by Family, or maybe just scroll through it. Exposure is often the biggest factor. Ask us about more plant options not listed here.
