Trees……….. The time is now

I can think of no better time to plant trees than in the Early Spring season. Garden centers should still have a great stock of trees left from the previous season and in my opinion there is no better tree. Wintered over and aclamated to the local climate these are the best of the best. The only exception would be if the variety you desired was out of stock….. DON”T COMPROMISE !!! New selections will be arriving as March wanders down the garden trail. Your first selections should include Fruit and flowering trees as these are the first to rattle their leaf and flower buds. Manure free compost and blended organic fertilizer should be all you need to prepare your planting site. Water in and wait for the ground to shake…………….. What a wonderful investment in your life and in your yard. Celebrate….

    Hi Doug,

    My wife and I have been getting a jump on planting trees this season, and have recently installed 4, 8′ arborvitaes, a 6′ juniper, and a small pine tree. What is the best fertilizer for new evergreens? Also, we have a row of arborvitaes we planted last year. They seem very healthy, but should we fertilize them as well, and with what product? Thanks!
