We are kicking off the month of June with our crews split between pruning, staking, and weeding. The weather this season has been beautiful so far! In the next few weeks, the main focus of our crew will be pruning Oaks. We start by un-staking 2nd & 3rd year trees, letting them “flop” around a bit, pruning the tops to reduce canopy weight, re-staking as needed. Because of these extra steps, Oaks take the most time of any genus we grow.
Our Oak blocks always look AMAZING once this process is complete, and it’s one of our favorite spots in the nursery! Now is the time of year we can really see what’s shaping up in the field, what’s growing great, and what needs a little extra attention with pruning and staking. We couldn’t be happier with the crops we have coming on for the next few seasons.
