PLANTS

Calling all gardeners!

Sky Nursery has a long history of offering a broad range of fruits, berries, and roses, and 2012 is no exception. February is the best month for selection whether you are adding to your garden or starting fresh.

We have some great additions to our fruit tree selections this year. Two apples we are excited about being able to offer this year are Macoun, a great crisp eating apple that ripens in early September, and Wynooche Early. Wynooche Early ripens in August but can keep until Christmas, and is great fresh, in sauce, or baked.

Chicago Hardy is an exciting new fig. It can freeze to the ground and still produce a crop!

Our nut selection is better than ever, including two new filberts bred at OSU for resistance to Eastern filbert blight. We also have almonds, chestnuts, and walnuts.

Be sure to shop early for the best selection. Fruit and berries only arrive once a year. The winter of 2010 was particularly hard on fruit tree growers, so some varieties, particularly combination and espalier trees, may be in short supply or slightly smaller than in years past.

Below are downloadable pdfs with descriptions of plant varieties Sky Nursery will be carrying in 2012; click to download. Please email or call for current availability, as stock can change daily in the spring season. Also, we have informational seminars and events scheduled every weekend through May — be sure to check them out on our events calendar.
