Certain pros and cons come with both spaded and nursery trees. Typically speaking, trees grown in nurseries are less difficult to move because they have been affected by maintenance practices, for instance root pruning. As a result of root pruning, it is typically easier to move trees that are grown in nurseries.

Thursday, October 14th, 2010Eventually we may have many varieties of garden, often called hardy, chrysanthemums which are reliably hardy everywhere. At present, I know of no cut-flower variety, such as Lavender Lady, Red Riding Hood, Allegro and the various spoons, that can be depended upon to survive our Winters without protection.
