 Spring is Near

We have received messages from all over the country people telling us
that spring is near, and others saying its still far away. How is it
where you're at?

Here in southwestern Missouri at our nursery grounds, the days are getting
into the low 40's, but the nights are still chilly in the mid 20's.
This has confused the trees, but a few plants are trying to leaf out.
The Flowering Quince  and Elderberries have lots of tiny new leaves. The willows, like the Weeping Willow, the White Willow, and the Ameri-Willow, which are often early, are still very dormant. Some of the grasses and weeds are greening up, hopfeully not the Johnson Grass yet.

Our spring planting and transplanting has been in full swing for over
two weeks now. Some cleanup, but a lot of planting, at least when the ground isnt frozen. There's still a lot get done.  We now have over 200 varieties of trees!
And growing!

What is the status of your spring plans?

Ready for planting? Take delivery early... do it now while everything is dormant.
