Welcome spring with lush, bright green foliage and blooms that provide stunning color as accents or mass planting. Azaleas enjoy filtered shade to morning sun, and our nurseries offer over a dozen varieties to choose from including Encore® Azalea and Bloom-A-Thon® varieties which are known for their multi-season, prolific blooms.

Spring is here, the weather is warming up in the garden, and that means we’re seeing a lot more activity among our plants—both good and not so good. Many of you have contacted us with questions about what’s going on in your garden, so we’ve pulled together answers to some common questions about pest and disease problems, along with recommended treatments.

Check out our list of fruit trees. At the peak of the season, we have traditional favorites and multi-grafted varieties. Bareroot fruit trees arrive mid December of each year, then leafed out trees continue to roll in throughout the growing season.

Selection may vary by location.

Now that fall’s upon us, it’s time to prune a few things in your landscape. But what exactly is pruning? Pruning trims old growth to encourage new growth and blooming. Although, timing is everything. Find out if the timing is right for a few of your favorites.
