We were very pleased to see some new grafts show up at the nursery this week. Among them were some new plants that we'll be adding to the website eventually, Disanthus cercidifolius 'Rikyu', Acer palmatum 'Enkan', and Viburnum dilatatum which is a dwarf form originating from Japan. Also a neat one to add to our Unusual Plants site, Nyssa sylvatica 'Zydeco Twist' which has a contorted form similar to Harry Lauder's Walking Stick.
Some of our regular web listings that have been out of stock for a while were also delivered, Muresaki kiyohime and Red Pygmy Japanese Maples. Look for them to come online next year.

Is there a 'spring' in your step?
It's sure does look like spring around here! Many weeping cherries are flowering everywhere, daffodils are all but done, forsythias are in full blaze, spireas are just getting to their peak, the bradford pears (don't let me catch you with one of these in your yard!) are almost done flowering, and the crabapples are also just fabulous right now. I finally had a chance to grab my camera and head up to the greenhouse to capture some action while the baby was taking a nap. Here's what I found:
This is one of my favorites! A dwarf baldcypress called Peve Minaret. It's just starting to send out it's new needles for the year. They look neat when they're in their "nobby" stage.
Here is a Pixie Japanese Maple whose just starting to push out new leaves. They have a silky look to them at this stage.
And finally, this is our weeping Katsura called Morioka Weeping which is planted on our property. I just wanted to show that the outside plants are perking up too.
That's it for now. Thanks for visiting!

The big announcement! There is a new addition to our nursery staff...we were blessed to have a beautiful baby boy, Logan, on Feb 12th. Once I can get some semblance of a schedule going, we'll resume shipping. Hopefully in a week or two. Thanks everyone for your patience!
On another note, during my 7th month I was making an attempt to revamp our entire website. It's still ongoing and several of the current buy now buttons are not working. Please email me if you are having trouble ordering and I can invoice you directly for the plants you want. Thanks again for your patience in this area too! Kelly McCartney
