SP06012 12 FOR $78.00 BLUECROP BLUEBERRY Zone 4-7 FAST GROWING Zone 2-6 These Northern Highbush Blueberries are 3 year transplants 10 to 12 inches. They are multi-stemmed shrubs growing approximately 5 to 6 feet tall with equal spread. Each blue-black berry has hundreds of tiny seeds and when spread by birds and other wildlife will create new plants. Their fruit is popular with birds, foxes, chipmunks and turkeys to name a few. These acid loving plants may be found naturally in marshes, around lakes, ponds and along streams. They do best in full sun. To prolong your berry harvesting season, we suggest planting varieties which have different fruit maturation times so you can enjoy picking and eating blueberries from late July to early October. The blueberry has a multitude of uses such as making jellies, jams and pies. An excellent nutritional snack, rich in Vitamin C and antioxidents when eaten fresh out of hand. Blueberries are not as perishable as most fresh fruit. Under refrigeration blueberries will keep for several weeks. They are one of the easiest fruits to freeze. The plants will start bearing fruit the year following planting and last 25 to 30 years. Start a new or add to an existing berry patch with this collection of Blueberries. Plant more than one variety for pollination. No shipments to OR, WA. ITEM NO.

Most plants can be sheared to maintain a smaller size. As plant sizes are dependent upon summer and early fall weather, sizes listed in catalog are approximated at the the time of printing. No adjustments will be made based on size discrepancies. TREE SPACING TIMBER PRODUCTION Tree spacing will depend on your objectives and site conditions. There is no “ideal” layout, if your objective is timber production, spacing trees with 50 to 100 square feet per tree is reasonable, i.e. an 8 ft. x 10 ft. spacing is 80 square feet per tree; a 10 ft. x 10 ft. spacing is 100 square feet per tree. This would calculate to 850 to 450 trees per acre.

This evergreen grass has slender, purplish foliage in the flower stocks. The stems are dense bristles that grow to a height of 18 to 24 inches tall with 3 to 5 white or nearly white inflorescences on top of the stems. These fluffy beads are seed heads, which are spread with the help of wind pollination. The bristles help the blooms survive for a long time in the form of white hair after they bloom in late summer or early fall. Full sun planting site required. This perennial needs sandy, loamy or clay soil to grow, it is okay if the soil is not well drained. Acidic soil that remains consistently moist to wet is best. An ideal spot to plant is near a pond or as a bog garden plant. The cotton swab-like blooms have been used to stuff pillows as an alternative to geese feathers. An impressive sight to observe the white heads dancing and swaying in the wind. Each 2 or More PCOGRPT $3.95 $3.50 ea. FOUNTAIN GRASS Zone 5-9 ITEM NO. Grown and shipped in plastic pots.

Moisture Guard alone has no insect or animal repellent properties. However, it contains more wax than Hot Pepper Wax and provides protection for trees and shrubs from drying out over the winter. Protect nursery stock, plants and seedlings from moisture loss when transporting. The most popular use for Moisture Guard is during the winter holiday season.

His need to protect his own plants led to the development of this biodegradable, environmentally friendly, easy to use product. To ensure good adhesion, apply spray to plants when dry. Simply spray on and around plants you want to protect. Spray until a wet look is achieved. Deer and rabbits are repelled by the odor of Liquid Fence(a formulation of egg and garlic) rather than the taste, as most products offered on the market. Animals find the smell offensive and without even a nibble, will avoid plant and garden areas. Proven effective 12 months out of the year, especially in winter when food becomes scarce and outdoor shrubbery becomes inviting. A once a month application will keep plants safe from the critters.

TIMBER SPECIAL BLUECROP BLUEBERRY SPECIAL #7 NORTHERN HIGHBUSH BLUEBERRY COLLECTION Zone 4-7 FAST GROWING These Northern Highbush Blueberries are 3 year transplants 10 to 12 inches. They are multi-stemmed shrubs growing approximately 5 to 6 feet tall with equal spread. Each blue-black berry has hundreds of tiny seeds and when spread by birds and other wildlife will create new plants. Their fruit is popular with birds, foxes, chipmunks and turkeys to name a few. These acid loving plants may be found naturally in marshes, around lakes, ponds and along streams. They do best in full sun. To prolong your berry harvesting season, we suggest planting varieties which have different fruit maturation times so you can enjoy picking and eating blueberries from late July to early October. The blueberry has a multitude of uses such as making jellies, jams and pies. An excellent nutritional snack, rich in Vitamin C and antioxidents when eaten fresh out of hand. Blueberries are not as perishable as most fresh fruit. Under refrigeration blueberries will keep for several weeks. They are one of the easiest fruits to freeze. The plants will start bearing fruit the year following planting and last 25 to 30 years. Start a new or add to an existing berry patch with this collection of Blueberries. Plant more than one variety for pollination.
