November 2024

Hello November

Autumn. What Autumn? Typical Colorado, we went from summer to winter literally overnight! We have also been dryer than usual too which is a good reminder to get the water hoses out and start your winter watering routine. Our Steps for Success has all the detail you need on how to properly care for your trees and plants all winter long. It is a matter of life and death for your newly installed plants (really, we mean it).

 

At this time, we are gearing up for the holiday season. We have a truly awesome event line up to take us into the new year with fun and style. The rest of the business turns its focus to property and operational enhancements for next season. Speaking of next season, if there are specific plants you would like us to consider carrying, now would be an excellent time to let us know as we prepare for next year's inventory.



November Hours:

Monday - Friday 9-5 / Saturday 10-4

Closed on Sundays

Year after year we see a wonderful increase in the Christmas Tree Lot shoppers. We listen to all of your comments and suggestions and seem to have settled into a great recipe for holiday happiness. First we source all the right sizes and varieties, ranging from 4'-13'+ and have a healthy selection of Spruce, Firs & Nobles. This year we are adding Natural Nobles to the mix after learning that many in our community seek these varieties out and they are really hard to find. In addition to the trees, we have so much more! Fresh wreaths, bows, garland & poinsettias are also available to complete your decor. We also keep a sweet treat & warm drink table going all season long which really adds to the cheer. Come check us out and let us impress you!

PROTECT YOUR INVESTMENT


Tree wrap is used to prevent Sunscald which usually occurs during winter and early spring. Intense sunlight warms the surface of the trees to the point of stimulating cell activity in the bark. A sudden drop in temperature at night can cause damage to the tree resulting in a condition known as Sunscald. Tree wrap is necessary for not only newly planted trees, but also thin barked trees like soft maple, honeylocust, and crabapples. Wrap after the first hard frost to Easter!

 

Garden Thymes

November Edition

"Two sounds of autumn are unmistakable, the hurrying rustle of crisp leaves blown along the street or road by a gusty wind, and the gabble of a flock of migrating geese. Both are warnings of chill days ahead, fireside and topcoat weather."

General Landscaping

  • Final fall clean-up
  • If you haven't already, blow out your sprinklers
  • After a hard frost wrap your tree trunks to prevent winter Sunscald damag
  • Fertilize your lawn with Jirdon's Winterizer 


Shrubs, Perennials & Bulbs

  • You still have time to plant spring blooming bulbs

Veggies, Fruit & Herbs
