Our nursery and growing operation is comprised of more than eighty acres including offices, processing buildings, greenhouses, container yards, growing beds and producing fields. Our long growing season and cold but mild winters enable us to grow blueberry varieties for most growing zones. Our plants are propagated on-site from virus and phytoplasma-indexed mother stock. We utilize three methods of propagation including tissue culture, hardwood, and softwood cuttings. The plants are grown in clean soil-free media in containers of many sizes, or in beds for bare root sales. Cleanliness, organization and a steadfast commitment to quality are the keys to producing superior nursery stock. We take this responsibility seriously, whether our plants are going up the road or to the other side of the world.
Research and development play a crucial role in providing you the blueberry bushes needed to gain a competitive edge in today’s marketplace. We are constantly searching for improved varieties by working closely with plant breeders around the world and evaluating new selections in our test blocks. Our nursery is known for its innovations in nursery production systems as well. We all remain committed to continually search for ways to improve our products and our services to you.
Finally, we know that the best blueberry varieties and the best plants cannot reach their full potential without the best information. We are active in most major nursery and blueberry growing organizations as well as the worldwide marketing picture for fresh and frozen fruit. Whether your questions concern field lay out, market strategies, cultural care programs or variety selection, our Grower Support Programs™ are focused on helping you maximize your success and your profits.
