Early Signs of Spring


Sunred Nectarine

Some of the earliest signs of spring prompt questions to our sales associates in the nursery "where can I get one of those Japanese Cherry Blossom trees that you see blooming all over town?" While you can grow cherry trees here in the Vegas Valley, people are more likely to be seeing the blossoms of other ornamental and fruiting trees.


Satsuma Plum

The beautiful blooms of peaches, apples, plums and nectarines all have similar characteristics. 
The clusters of white to dark pink flowers that don the otherwise bare branches in the spring, are the promise of the sweet fruit to come in the summer.


Earligrande Peach 

Most people are surprised to hear that we can grow fruit trees here in the desert. The varieties that are available at our stores have been carefully selected for their ability to thrive here in the Mojave. 
If you're willing to put in a little time for regularly scheduled maintenance then you'll soon be eating fresh fruit right from your very own trees.

The hard part will be to decide what to plant!
We always say plant what you like to eat because you're going to eventually end up with a lot of it.
