Helping Unload a Huge Load of Trees at the Garden Center!
video description
> Shadbush, shadwood, shadblow, serviceberry, sarvisberry, sarvis, wild pear, Juneberry, Saskatoon, sugarplum, wild-plum, chuckley pear.
My Grandma called them > Sugar Plums. The grand-kids grew up eating them right off the bush here in Northern Canada.
Serviceberries are trees or bushes, depending on cultivar, with a beautiful natural shape and 'Edible' fruit.
> The Serviceberry / Juneberry is a bird lover's delight. You will be pleased with this low maintenance shrub.
As it wakes up in spring, white flowers will appear and give way to green oval leaves. Beautiful White Flowers / Sweet Smell.
Red, unripened berries will ripen into 'blue edible berries' that resemble blueberries. Their flavor is unique, almost almond to the taste.
In autumn, the leaves on the Juneberry Serviceberry turn orange-red.
> Serviceberry fruit is delicious straight from the tree and can be used any way you'd use blueberries: smoothies, cobblers, pies, muffins, pancakes, jellies, jams, and ice cream. And don't forget sorbet, pudding, wine, fruit leather, or syrup. > Yum.

Loved this video! It brought back so many memories for me from when I managed a re-wholesale nursery in Vermont over 35 years ago. Spring was always such an exciting time when the truck loads of plant material would start arriving. It was a lot of hard work (I wish we had a fork lift, and long days, but the thrill of seeing the new plants kept you going. Based on the tags. it looks like this load was from J. Frank Schmidt Nursery, they always have great quality and a wonderful selection of varieties. Laura, you mentioned that you try to get plants in early before they leaf-out, in Vermont our season starts is sooo late that we had to do the opposite. Our orders from Oregon (Iseli Nursery & Schmidt) we'd try to get in as late as possible because their plants were so far ahead of ours. I remember unloading plants in mid-April while it was snowing, so we'd try to get the Oregon loads in mid-May. Really enjoying the videos from the garden center, please keep them coming!

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. It was 65F here in NH today- highly unusual. 10 of snow coming Friday ugh I'll be rewatching this video for inspiration on new tree varieties. Laura, highly recommend Dawyck Purple Beech - a stunning upright purple beech. Ours is 30+ years old - literally stops traffic. I can't tell you the number of people that have actually stopped to ask us what is that tree? Ohhhh would so love to see video on potting the bareroot roses when they come into the nursery.

Love seeing you working with your mum and sister at the garden centre. I was potting up bare root fruit trees and bare root roses the other week at work, and when you said you would be getting bare root roses in, it would be fun to see you getting them potted up ready for the season start. I'm glad you decided to do some work back at Andrews this year, it's so interesting.

Anyone else think there's going to be a bunch of these trees planted on Laura and Aaron's property? And we've had a tulip tree for 20+ years and no problem with it being messy. I don't know if that's a fluke or not. It still has a lot of seed pods on it that I assume will fall come spring. I've only had 2 seedlings so far. I'm hoping for more!

Now that you are in a zone 6, have you considered trying to plant camellias? Their blooms would look great peeking through your snowy landscape, and their dark green foliage looks great all year. Not to mention how many amazing varieties there are. Loved the video, and thank you so much for your hard work, it's truly an inspiration.

Thanks for taking us to Andrew's, we love it! Great to see your family working together, and all of the behind the scenes.
Laura heard a Tulip Poplar is messy? Not sure why someone would say that. We left a full grown Tulip tree at our old house, and planted another at our new house. They have a great shape and are easy care.

Do you need 1 each male/female fruit trees to produce? And dogwoods, I have an old one transplanted from the wild by my mother 50 years ago it doesn't leaf out as much because spanish moss has got to it. Will it renew if I can get rid of the moss and prune it? If so, how do you get spanish moss out of a 30ft tree?

Oh theres something so special about trees even in their dormant stage. If I lived near your mums garden centre I would be camped outside on delivery days to pounce and buy everything. Fascinating to see behind the scenes of the garden centre and the planning and hard work involved. Much love to all xxxx
