Question 1

Hi I am a 3rd grader doing a science project on the affects of light on african violets and wanted to see if you had any advice so I can get a good grade? Thank you!

Hi Islabella,
What a fun project!  I hope you find this helpful. African violets require at least 12 hours of light daily in order to bloom.  These plants are called “photo accumulators.” They require bright light but never full sun.  Direct sunlight will burn the leaves.  You should get the best results when you place your African Violets in a north or east facing window, about 12” away from the glass so they do not get direct sun and so they do not get too cold at night.  Rotate them once a week so all the leaves receive sunlight.  African violets prefer temperatures between 70-80 degrees during the day & 65-70 degrees at night. Not enough light leaves are usually thin and deep green and are stretching toward the light source. Too much light leaves turn pale or yellowish-green. 
African violets are picky about water. Don't over water them. Feel the top of the soil: if it is dry to the touch, then it is time to water.  Have fun and good luck!

Happy Plantings!

Yes, it is fine to plant perennial shrubs and trees now. Planting in the fall and winter actually give the plants the best opportunity to put their energy into their root system. That will give you a healthier plant going forward. You want to make sure you water them regularly during the winter in order to establish their root system.  Winter watering for newly planted plants applies to the drought tolerate plant selections as well. Be sure to check with one our our horticulturist for how much water and how often you should be watering you new plants.

Question 20

To you happen to have any Navajo Globe Willows in stock?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately we do not have them in stock at this time.  We will have a few on our fall or next spring order if they are available.  Depending on the size and quantity you need we can do our best to make sure we put them on a special order for you  when the become available if you are interested in doing so.
They are a beautiful tree but have gone out of favor and demand the last decade because they suffer from a variety of problems from weak limbs and short life span to pests and disease.   
If you cannot find the Globe Willow and want to plant a tree now, I would suggest the following for your consideration.
Zelkova (we have several varieties & sizes to choose from)
Big Tooth or Mesa Glow Maple (limited quantities in stock)
Desert Willows (nice assortment of sizes in stock)
and of course many others that might work for you.
Please let us know if we can be of further assistance or would like to get on the special order list.
Happy Plantings!
