Most of Yamagami's dormant fruit trees have arrived, and what a great selection! When you buy your fruit trees at Yamagami's you are getting the best tree around. We call it "The Yamagami's Difference."

We have chosen the very best fruit varieties for our area. We paint the trunks white so that they won't sunburn in their first hot, dry summer (more of a problem than you might think!).

We will happily prune your tree to suit your garden needs, whether you need it tall for your landscape or want to keep it compact for easy pruning and harvesting. Each tree is in a biodegradable paper pot and can stay in that pot until you and your soil are ready to plant.

Better come in quick for some of the more popular trees--like the multi-graft pluots, peaches, and especially the "fruit salads," which have a peach, a plum, an apricot branch all on one tree!

Be sure to pick up our FREE guides for planting, and year-round care as well as our Backyard Orchard Guide, which is full of information on how to maximize your harvests in the space you have available and how to maintain your tree at the size you prefer.

For even more help, attend a Winter Fruit Tree Care Class or a Backyard Orchard Class (see Coming Events for dates).

Discover the Yamagami's Difference for yourself and enjoy tasty, healthy harvests from your garden. Let our helpful Nursery Pros guide you to success.

While it is easier to dig in wet soil, it's a bad idea to do so. Digging and planting in wet clay soil further compacts the soil making poor drainage even worse.

Here's an easy way to determine if your soil is too wet to plant.

Dig a hole about 6" deep (1 shovel scoop)
Grab a handful of soil from the bottom of the hole and squeeze it.
Open your hand. If the soil ball you have squeezed crumbles, your soil is fine for planting. If the soil stays in the ball shape you squeezed, it's too wet to plant.	Too wet

Our dormant fruit trees and roses are in biodegradable paper pots, so you can wait until you and your soil are ready to plant. Let our helpful Nursery Pros guide you to success with more good gardening advice. We are here so you will succeed...the first time!

One of the showiest and cheeriest winter blooming plants is cineraria (Pericallis x hybrida). What makes these plants so special is that the deep green, slightly lobed leaves of these colorful beauties are often completely covered by immense clusters of velvety daisy-like flowers. These bright and bushy plants have an amazing kick of contrasting colors. Their blossoms may be white, pink, red, blue, purple or violet, with blue or white centers and rings of contrasting colors that create a rainbow of hues.

These beauties are native to the Canary Islands off the coast of Portugal. Annuals that can bloom from as early as December to as late as May, they are usually removed or discarded after their blooming season is over, much like potted mums. Sometimes they will reseed and revert to their ancestor, a tall, bright magenta variety. Few plants can beat these beauties for color while they are doing their thing. Mix them with primroses, cyclamen and ferns for showy container gardens.

Cinerarias do best in a protected location with filtered shade or morning sun and afternoon shade. You can keep them indoors in a cool but bright spot, but they will not hold up as long, maybe a week or two. They are fairly thirsty plants, especially when kept in their original pots. They like to be kept moist (but not soggy) at all times. They perform their best when fertilized every two weeks with Maxsea.

If you need a little help shaking off the doldrums of winter, consider adding some winter cheer with Cinerarias today! Come to Yamagami's Nursery when you need some flower power in your life. Our Nursery Professionals can help you choose just the right flowers for your gardening needs.
