Thanksgiving is here again. In Oregon, the weather is blustery and dark--ie. normal for this time of year.  We are praying that the plants get to go into a normal dormancy without having to withstand an ‘Arctic Event’ before we’ve had some normal chilling.  We’ve had plant damage the last two winters because the subfreeze has arrived first. I have finally started updating the site, pics, etc. but it’s a long job. I feel like a little every day is better than nothing. We are still shipping to places with moderate weather. 

I wrote up a piece on Root Control Bags and sent it to Dave’s Garden and Melody said she would use it (maybe in the weekly Garden News.)   Here's the key to sizing:  

graft size means the plant is still in the grafting band and is probably not more than one year since the graft.

One and two gallons are pretty self explanatory except that our two gallons are Smart Pots, ie fabric bags which make a MUCH better root system than a hard plastic pot .

Field grown means that the trees have been grown in a rootcontrol bag in the field for 3 or four years.

I will be happy to send pictures of anything you want to see.

Here's another interesting piece of news.  Since people are always asking if I send planting instructions, I have made 3 videos on planting and one on pruning which are in the Plant Info section,  and they are cuuu uute.   That is it for now. Lucile
