Fall is just around the corner here at the nursery! Most of our summer projects in the field are wrapping up, and we are getting ready for a busy fall dig season.

Evergreen digging is underway & decidious digging will begin sometime in the next month as the trees go dormant. We finished our counts & measures in the field last week.  The growth in the field this summer has been great & we anticipate more caliper growth to come throughout the fall. 

We are already taking orders for Spring 2016 & we anticipate running out of many varieties quickly. Inventory is very tight in nurseries across the Midwest and will be for the next few years.  Now is the time to plan ahead for your Fall 2015 or Spring 2016 projects!

We have more new varieties coming online for this fall & next spring. Autumn Fantasy Maple, Little Twist Cherry, Urban Pinnacle Oak, Streetspire Oak, Spring Flurry Serviceberry, Turkish Fibert, Hardy Rubber Tree, Showtime Crabapple, & American Dream Oak are just a few of the new trees that will be available this fall & next spring!

During the summer, we had a nice visit with Roger Purcell (midwest sales rep) & Nick Overall (sales manager) from J. Frank Schmidt Nursery, one of our liner suppliers from Oregon. Nick was visiting Midwest nurseries to see how their trees looked in our fields. In this pic, they are standing with Jamie by an upcoming crop of American Dream & Streetspire Oaks. Both of those trees are Schmidt introductions (click on them for more info) & we are looking forward to digging our first ones next spring!

Fall is a great time to visit the nursery. We welcome you to come out anytime for a tour!
