Fall sales season is fast approaching
Fall is a great time to plant trees, including many fruit trees. I am busy updating inventory and my nursery will be ready for online sales beginning soon.
You can sign up for my newsletter at the bottom of this page to stay in the loop, or check back in by late October.
