Fall is here and it's time to plant!

Cooler temperatures, moist soils, and dormant plants make planting and establishment much easier. They're able to settle into their new homes over winter with a head start on the next growing season with established roots.

I have many trees discounted from 20-50% off right now so that I don't have to pot them up over winter! See the discounted prices or order in advance at the following link: https://www.knottybynaturetrees.com/category/all-trees

Two new items added this week! Heliopsis helianthoides, Early Sunflower, and Phlox divaricata, Wild Blue Phlox.

Wild Blue Phlox is found in the mountains and Piedmont of NC in moist shady conditions. Only growing to be about a foot tall, it makes a great border or ground cover for your shade garden.

Early Sunflower is also found in the Piedmont and mountains of NC but in drier, sunnier spots. It typically only grows to be 3-4' tall and just as wide, but will spread by seed and rhizome to fill in an area or compete in your grassland.

We will be open this Saturday 9-4 at 5911 Mount Hermon Church Rd. in Durham. If Saturdays don't work for you, you can place an order online and schedule a time to pick up at a time that is more convenient.

Many trees are and all annuals are currently discounted 20-50% off at this time. The annuals are basically being sold as seed for next years plants as of now, but they will all easily germinate without any help.

Hypoxylon Canker on a dead limb I removed from a Sugar Maple this morning. While the tree appears to be in the spirit of Halloween/Fall, hypoxylon can be fatal and infected limbs should be removed to help prevent the spread.

It can affect many hardwood species and will actually thrive under drought conditions. So, keep your mature trees watered as well during droughts!
