A Fresh New Look

Spring is just around the corner, and we think that just about everyone is ready for it to finally arrive! A time when the sun shines later into the evening, kids are outside playing and taking Spot for a walk doesn't require hat and mittens.

Big things have been happening at Lynde Greenhouse & Nursery lately. Our landscape team has designed and built this amazing display and landscape consultation area in our retail store. Make sure that the next time you're in, you take a few minutes to stop and check out this new area. It is sure to generate some new and exciting ideas for your own outdoor space.

When all is said and done, the new landscape consultation area will be a great place to take a break and let your ideas come together for your own projects. Many of our landscape design consultations will be held here, where a multitute of textures and concepts will fall into place. Since a trip to Lynde Greenhouse & Nursery isn't complete without the whole family, take advantage of the seating area and free wi-fi to make for an all around memorable experience.

Stay tuned for more updates as this landscape area takes shape!

Time to Prune the Apple, and Other Fruit Trees.

Now is the time to trim your apple trees, flowering crabs and any other fruit bearing trees. Trimming them now is easier than when the leaves are on. This is the best time prune them to prevent any diseases or wounds entry for bugs. I know the compost center does not open til April but if you can trim now and just keep the pile of branches for a few weeks you can bring in the trimming then. Rule of thumb NEVER trim more then 1/3 of the tree. This is very important in fruit trees for if too much is trimmed off the tree will try to reproduce the lost branches which is what is replaced with water sprouts. These branches grow straight up and produce NO fruit or anything but take up space in the tree. These must be removed and keep an eye as to not cut too close to the trunk so as the cut can heal over. If the tree is too big to trim on your own, please get help so as to prevent any accidents from happening. Please stop in at the Nursery if you have more questions on proper pruning.
The greenhouse is coloring up and we can't wait for April when we will be open for the season.
Until then, check out our plant library for the plant selections we will be offering this season.
