WOW! Who could have predicted the spring we have had so far this year! Record early temps here at the nursery have led to record digging & spring sales this season so far. We have already dug, shipped, & yarded more trees this spring than we ever have in the month of March! Check out our APRIL VIDEO produced by the “Kids of Spring Grove Nursery” to see a quick glimpse of what’s been going on in the field.
Despite the weather challenges to get trees dug & out of the ground before breaking dormancy, our digging crews have kept up well in the field. We have already shipped many of our field direct trees & by the end of next week, they will all be out & to our customers. Due to the early warm-up, we moved up our Field Direct Special deadline to 4-15-12. By then, everything will be settled nicely into our holding yard for supply throughout the rest of the season.
Our holding yard is filling up quickly with fresh dug trees fron the field. On top of quickly getting our customer orders dug, we have been able to dig an ample supply of additional trees to supply projects for the rest of the season. We only have about another week or two depending on weather & species to dig any additional deciduous trees. Our window of digging evergreens will be probably through the rest of April. If you are still waiting to place your spring order, now is the time to insure we will still have what you need!
On another note, it’s also time to PLANT TREES! We have a terrific selection of new trees that are waiting to be planted. We will be getting those in the ground over the next week, and we can’t wait to start work on shaping your trees for the future! If you have ever wanted to see how the planting or digging process works, this is a great time to visit the nursery. Please stop by this spring & join in the fun – just a warning we will probably put you to work though!
