Tubelings are young seedling trees or bushes that are grown rapidly in a greenhouse in plug containers, and at the age of 3 months they are as big and strong as field-grown plants a year old. Tubelings have wall established root systems and for best results they should be planted directly in their permanent location.

We currently have the following plants available as tubelings, $8.99:
Salix nigra (Black Willow)
Salix sericea (Silky Willow)
Chamaecyparis thyiodes (Atlantic White Cedar)
Euonymus americanus (Hearts-a-bustin / Strawberry Bush)
Spirea tormentosa (Steeplebush / Hardhack)
Lyonia lucida (Fetterbush)

Come by and visit us this weekend! Open Sat-Sun 9am-6pm & Tue-Fri 8am-6pm

Asters are important plants in pollinator gardens because they are one of the latest-blooming nectar plants for bees and butterflies. Plant in full sun to part-sun in moist, well-draining soil for best results.
