Moving Sale

Happy Victoria Day weekend!  What a beautiful day!  The yard is alive with flowers and everything looks so fresh and green.  We have moved several hundred trees already to our new location so only 27000 to go!  Over the next few weeks we are promoting our moving sale – so feel free to come in and browse.  We just know something will entice you and that will relieve of us having to move one more tree – every tree counts! There are thousands birds nesting in the trees and it is so noisy around here.  Interestingly enough we were delivering and installing a tree to a residential property in Mississauga – a beautiful Serbian Spruce.  It was moved from the nursery and loaded onto a large diesel truck on an angle.  It was then tarped and traveled 20 km to it’s new home.  There it was then loaded onto a machine and planted in the backyard.  Once installed the foreman noticed a nest of blue eggs in the tree.  The only way those eggs could have survived that trip is if the mother was sitting on the nest.  Sure enough later in the day they noticed the mother sitting on her eggs.  Such a nice story – hope the father finds her!   The nursery is changing daily as prepare for big move so when I go to look for a certain tree I can’t find it.  And then later in the day I find it in our island planting or tucked in the heal-in area.  The yellow Magnolias look stunning – the pictures don’t do them justice.  The Crab apples are all in bloom and the  nursery is alive with colour.  The Redbuds draw your to their neon pink blooms.  If it wasn’t for my colleague Wayne – I would have missed our Red Delicious Apple tree covered in blooms.  Last year the frost hit the blooms and we got no fruit – so hopefully this year we will be able to sample some.  Here are are few samples of the hundreds of pictures I take…enjoy…

Changing….

Yes things are changing.  Everything has changed since we got rain!  Yahoo!  As much as I like the sunny days the plants needed the rain.  The Pee Gee Hydrangeas are in full bloom and just down the road from the them the Yellow Bird Magnolias are putting out their second flush.  There are lots of buds so they should look great next week.  The nursery looks good even with the drought. Of course some trees are suffering and showing signs of burnt tips on the leaves – but we are hoping they will pop back in the fall.  In the heat of the summer not much is happening bloom wise, and just as I was thinking that, I see some Viburnam Wayfarer bushes all covered in berries.  It looks so vibrant in the sun.  The lady I work with in the office pointed out the sumacs the other day.  She is waiting for them to ripen to she  can pick them – apparently they are edible.  I can’t rememeber what she does with them and she is on holidays so I can’t ask her.  I will find out though.  There also some lovely Tiger Eye Sumacs that look funky.  She also pointed out some knarly Black Pines in the island bed – she loves them – not my favourite but I can see them in a cottage setting.  Speaking of changing – I am starting to see the small changes happening around the yard.  We are moving our location down the road and for the life of me, I dunno how we are going to do it.  But today it struck me.  We are starting to get prepared.  The polyhouses are coming down and are to be moved down the road.  The Ash trees are being cut down as we can’t sell them due to the ash borer.  It is a shame to see the process.  They have been growing for years in the back field and when you are under the canopy of the leaves you can’t tell that they are sick.  But alas, they have to be destoyed.  The orange tape signifies trees to be cut and the roots lifted up and removed from the ground.  As much as I like to photograph the happenings of the nursery, this made me a little sad.  It’s a day in the life…
