Whether its a one year of two year warranty?

     When is it time to use a warranty for a tree that dies? This issue comes up often whether being one or two year warranties. The first thing that I look for is why a tree dies, has it sat in 3 inches of water for several weeks in the summer due to an irrigation line being severed , or was it killed by a system not maitained. No water or to much water will give the same results, dead plants. An irrigation system can give a false sense of security that all is well and looked after. Checking a system once a week, making sure heads pop up and that the valves close are critical to having healthy plants and well maintained appearance of your garden.                                                                         

Drainage  is also very important, this week I went to a complex that is having poor results with things like shrubs and Roses.  Upon looking closely the drains had been pushed up 3 to 4 inches thru excessive frost heaving over the years trapping salt laden water off the sidewalks into the beds. This build up of calicum over several years will destroy any new growth in the plant roots and will leave the planting bed a virtual no mans land. Plants usually will show signs of why they are not doing well and depending on how severe the issues are will determine its survival and state of health. By watching your garden and maintaining  drainage, watching systems and good soil aeration will create healthy plants and a happy gardening experience.

Fall foliage

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!
