Fresh from the Farm – Clump River Birch!

Posted on March 30, 2015 by RutgersLN

river birchRiver birch (betula nigra) is a graceful, fast growing tree that is hardy to our area and does well in wet soil.  Its oval canopy is lush, but not so dense that it prevents sunshine from dappling through.  Betula Nigras are great for punctuating a landscape by providing year-round interest.  As they drop their leaves in the fall, beautiful pink and cream colored bark contrasts well against the changing colors of the season.

Its height at maturity is approximately 30-40,’ with a canopy of similar width.  We have an excellent variety of clump river birches, ranging from two to five trunks!    Stop by and see!

This Just in! Jane Lily Magnolias!

The Jane Lily Magnolia is a very hardy variety that produces large, very fragrant blooms throughout April and May. Flowers are rich purple with white insides, and foliage is lush green, turning to golden brown in the fall.  This magnolia is great for modest spaces that could use some brightening up, and reaches a height of 15-20’ with a spread of 10-15.’ The trees that we just got in are 8-10’ and simply gorgeous.  Stop by and see for yourself!

Goodbye Winter!

Posted on March 18, 2015 by RutgersLN

Winter is over — or so we think! This time of year, one can never be too careful. Though the temperatures have been above freezing, we’re not in the clear yet when it comes to overnight temperatures and the possibility of a final winter squall. With much of the snow melted, you may have already begun to notice withered evergreens, brown spots, or entirely brown leaves. What should one do to assess winter damage? Check out our Coping with Winter Damage article by clicking Here!
