It’s me again with the same emergency message as last time: PLEASE KEEP WATERING!!! It is so dry, and getting dryer. There’s no prediction of rain in the near future. It is very important to keep plants hydrated in the fall. Don’t give up. Even if leaves have dried up and fallen off prematurely it doesn’t mean the plant is dead. There’s still life in the plant. It may just sit there looking ‘sticky’ until next spring. It’s been especially hard on Hydrangeas. They need plenty of water because of their huge flowers and they’re just not getting enough. So...

Hi there tree lovers, Look around. It looks like FALL but it shouldn’t yet. Trees are getting their fall color and some are turning brown. But it’s a little early and it’s a sign of stress. If you have planted a new tree or shrub this year, please, please, please get out the hose and turn on the water. Deep water! Thoroughly soak your prized possessions.

HUNTREE NURSERY NEWSLETTER MID JUNE 2024 We’re trudging through June. We made it through the awful heat and dryness. Whew! Congratulations to us all. A few plants did not fare so well. We have been getting sad pics of plant casualties. It was a stressful time and some just ran out of water and turned brown. Others had some browning of leaves. Chances are it may not be fatal. So don’t be hasty to put them on the brush pile. They may push out new leaf buds so encourage them with extra water and loving care. Make sure those challenged... View Article
