As spring fast approaches, we renew our energies and to begin to focus and concentrate on what we know best.  Our trees and nursery are what we have spent our whole 40 year career doing and it still has the same magic effect every spring when the sun tells us it is time to start to grow again.

Last year we moved around 16,000 large trees to our new farm, 5592 Trafalgar Road, 1/2 kilometer north of where our main farm has been for 28 years.  The new farm has much more rolling land with meadows.  A beautiful old iron bridge straddles the 16 Mile Creek that cuts through the farm and nursery that leads to our newly laid out fields of mature root pruned trees.  The new farms are laid out with fresh grass planted between every row to allow us to take you to see all the trees and pick exactly what you want.

Having all these trees moved has given us the opportunity to be able to dig pretty much anytime during the 2015 season.  On very hot days in the summer, digging might be delayed until cooler weather permits.  The nursery is designed for production of heavier caliper specimen trees for commercial and residential projects that demand more.

Our experience in the past 40 years in horticulture has provided us with unique  one of a kind projects.  This knowledge and insight provides results on the most difficult demands that any horticultural situation can provide.  Please come and visit or email us with your needs and inquiries for 2015.

Row of Gingkos October 2014

Well it finally feels like spring is coming.  I am not going to write about the weather, everybody knows it was horrible.  Instead I am going to focus on 2015!   A lot has happened at PAO since I have last written, the first big news is that we finally moved!!  We are now at our new location 5592 Trafalgar Road just ½ kilometre north of our original location.  It was no easy feat moving 15,000 trees!  The good news is they are all now root pruned and ready to grow and sell and now we can sell throughout the summer.  The new location is nice and we invite you to come for a tour.  The new farm is laid out with wide roads for easy viewing and tagging. We are still in the construction phase at the front of the yard but once the weather breaks we will start that in earnest.  Our other farm has now produced some larger specimens as well this year and we will have another 8000 trees for sale.

In late spring we plan to have a couple of shipments in from the west coast which will bring some specimen material that we are known for.  We are specifically focusing on Japanese Maples, Boxwoods and some other topiary specimens.  As spring unfolds I will keep you posted on the blog as what is news and some pictures.  We cannot get into the field yet…but soon!
