Moving Sale

Happy Victoria Day weekend!  What a beautiful day!  The yard is alive with flowers and everything looks so fresh and green.  We have moved several hundred trees already to our new location so only 27000 to go!  Over the next few weeks we are promoting our moving sale – so feel free to come in and browse.  We just know something will entice you and that will relieve of us having to move one more tree – every tree counts! There are thousands birds nesting in the trees and it is so noisy around here.  Interestingly enough we were delivering and installing a tree to a residential property in Mississauga – a beautiful Serbian Spruce.  It was moved from the nursery and loaded onto a large diesel truck on an angle.  It was then tarped and traveled 20 km to it’s new home.  There it was then loaded onto a machine and planted in the backyard.  Once installed the foreman noticed a nest of blue eggs in the tree.  The only way those eggs could have survived that trip is if the mother was sitting on the nest.  Sure enough later in the day they noticed the mother sitting on her eggs.  Such a nice story – hope the father finds her!   The nursery is changing daily as prepare for big move so when I go to look for a certain tree I can’t find it.  And then later in the day I find it in our island planting or tucked in the heal-in area.  The yellow Magnolias look stunning – the pictures don’t do them justice.  The Crab apples are all in bloom and the  nursery is alive with colour.  The Redbuds draw your to their neon pink blooms.  If it wasn’t for my colleague Wayne – I would have missed our Red Delicious Apple tree covered in blooms.  Last year the frost hit the blooms and we got no fruit – so hopefully this year we will be able to sample some.  Here are are few samples of the hundreds of pictures I take…enjoy…
