We have been busy getting our nursery in order and bringing in fresh product almost everyday.  Meanwhile our crews have been out on job sites moving mature tree specimens.  We are finding more and more homeowners and developers looking for mature trees and that instant garden feel.  Although I have watched the ‘Moving Tree’ process many times – I am continually in awe on how it’s done.  It is something to see a 50′ tree leaving our yard and driving on the highway to it’s new home.  And the change to the property is truly amazing! I have inserted a picture to give you an idea and there is more on our website if you are interested in the process.  But today the big news is my tour of the farm.  All week I have been in and out taking pictures but the ones I took this morning are the best.  I decided to go to our other nursery growing facility and see what is news.  The rows of Serviceberry Trees were spectacular and well as the Ornamental Pears – rows of blooms!  And everything is popping  Even the shoots of the Dawn Redwood  which are just starting are that wonderful chartreuse green.  And even though my job is to promote trees I coundln’t resist snapping a few pictures of Trilliums covering the forest floor.  And the Crapabbles are all flowering as well.  I took 74 pictures this morning and I have to limit them to the ones I like the best – that is the hard part.  Next week it looks like some of the Lilacs will be blooming – more photo ops.  the red Japanes Maples are almost in full leaf and the colour is that nice bright red that Spring brings.

So far Spring 2012 has blessed us with some mild temperatures and the trees are beginning to bloom.  Our crews are busy digging trees and since the temperatures have been so warm over the winter they are now creating instant landscapes in April!  We welcome you to visit our nursery to see our large selection of trees and shrubs as well as our rare and unique specimens that we are known for.  I have posted some pictures of our inventory of trees and shrubs and hope they generate your interest.  I have also posted some images of our tree moving which evolved out of finding and digging rare and unusual plants in a variety of situations.  If you have a tree that needs to be saved please to feel free to call us or visit our website.  Our ability to come up with successful solutions to saving and harvesting large and unusual plants allows us to offer  this unique service to pirvate home owners, contractors, architects and government institutions.  We go beyond rough mechanical harvesting methods;  each tree is hand dug, and up to two miles of nylon rope is utilized to safely cradle the root ball.  We have successfully relocated trees weighing of up to 140 tons and our crane capacity is 1000 tons.  It is a spectacular thing to see. We have added pages to the blog site and will update on a more regular basis – stay tuned.

Well – the phone has started ringing!!!  People want to know if we are open and ready for business – this weather sure has got people into that warm Spring feeling!  We will start to update our availabilites as the warm weather has demanded that we start digging.  Who knew!!   Enjoy the weather and here is to a wonderful Spring season!

Nothing is more of a reminder that Ol’ Man Winter is on his way to town that a good hard frosty Fall morning.

The sunrise this morning leant itself to a great photo opportunity. 

Don’t forget — This is optimal digging conditions and we are still going strong!  We are also having our No HST sale on everything until November 15th!

Their colours are out, for another final couple of weeks.  The Maples and the Ginkgos, the Burning Bush and the Oaks are currently at their brightest, while a few late bloomers (red buds and what have you) are almost ready to shine.

Be sure to take advantage of our No HST Sale right now, as we near a close to the planting season.  All Rockery, Statuary, and Plant Material are all included in this deal so don’t delay that project any further or else we’ll be need deep in snow!  Scroll down to see some plants and feature rock we have here in the yard!

Going for a walk through the field has its advantages.   Simply going out and tagging a tree means seeing some of what that nature has to offer.  And at this time of year, you can’t argue. It’s a pretty gorgeous offering!

While out there this morning, I took some photos of the pretty fall colours that some of our plants are turning.  For some of them this is their time to shine.  Especially the Burning Bush!

If you’re interested at all for your own landscape, we are in full swing for Fall digging and we would love to help you out.

Below I’ve shared some of the photos from this morning.     — TreeHugger
