Deceived By A Balmy March!!!!

Posted on April 12, 2012 by paohorticultural.com

Spring was here last week but it is gone this week! What a tease! Our magnolias did not reach their peak magnifigance due to the frosty nights. The beautiful blossoms that I was anxiously waiting to photograph have withered and turned brown. With the cold days this week I have been hestitant to go out and take photos of what is coming on and what is not. It is funny how nature is though – and as with all things botanical – the plants are fighting to push their leaves and flowers out into the longer daylight hours. But we must remember that this is only the beginning of April and perhaps we expecting too much. As much as we love the sunshine – we do need some rain! The ground is dry and and it is a worry for us farmers! We need some water so that we don’t stress out the trees (But not as much as last year!!). The landscapers are calling and we are digging as many trees as we can – as I guess they are being inundated by calls from homeowners. We are making a first delivery of big trees to cottage country tomorrow – more than a month before Victoria day weekend! Thaty is early for us – who knows what this Spring will provide us with. I have ventured out into the wind and took some pictures of our first performers.

Spring Trees 2012

Posted on April 4, 2012 by paohorticultural.com

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.

Fall Is So Beautiful!

Posted on October 12, 2011 by paohorticultural.com

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
