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...

Mother Nature is very stingy with the water and this drought makes us very nervous. Here are top watering tips for you: • Please get out your hoses and soak your precious plants…even your established ones… Daily for new plantings. • Oscillating sprinklers work great because they cover a larger surface. Watering 20-30 minutes at a time is a good idea to give the plants a chance to drink. • Remember that... View Article

September Newsletter 2021 Yay!  It’s September!  Wahoo!  The cool air makes me want to get out in the garden and pull all those weeds that shot up during the blasting heat… and watch all the bees and butterflies flitting around. These are the questions being asked at the counter: Do you have Pansies?    Yes!  We just got them in yesterday.’ What can I use to kill my crabgrass?   The answer is nothing at the moment.  Crabgrass is an annual grass.  It is going to die.  But it has deposited lots of seeds for next year.  So next late April/...
