Plant Trees Now! Advice from our “Master Gardner”

Plant Trees Now!

As the shortest month of the year, February fills up fast with things to do in your garden. This month deserves your full attention to set the scene for a healthy garden this spring and summer. Pruning, clean-ups and planting (particularly your fruit and citrus trees), should be the focus of February. Green Valley Nursery & Landscape grows and sells container fruit and citrus trees, which are more beneficial to your yard than bare root, because they are acclimated to our area.

Ornamental Trees

What makes an ornamental tree different from a regular tree is a distinguishing feature, something that makes it stand out and catch your eye. Ornamental trees contain aesthetic characteristics such as flowers and foliage or perhaps unique bark or branches. These unique characteristics make ornamental trees a prime choice for a garden or landscape setting. Some uses in a landscape setting could be for providing a scenic view from the window, framing an entryway or creating a sense of intimacy around a deck or patio.

Fruit and Citrus Trees

While gardeners should still protect the plants from the cold weather, now is the time to plant fruit trees and citrus trees. Taste fruit and citrus More >

October Garden Tips

Fall is the most spectacular time of the year in the garden. It’s the time when green foliage changes into a showy display of hues in the fall color spectrum. We see red mingled with burgundy, lime green with gold, bronze with purple on trees, shrubbery and blooms. Fall is nature’s growing season, when new plantings become established before winter chills. It’s the perfect time to select plants such as Nandina, Japanese Maple and Burning Bush to add brilliant color and interesting textures to your landscape. Many fall plants grown specifically for our unique climate zone are available at Green Valley Nursery & Landscape in El Dorado Hills. Here are just a few to plant separately or combine in pots to welcome fall with vibrant color.

Rosy Glow Barberry (Berberis) are hardy shrubs that provide a nice blend and balance of color with other fall foliage plants. The leaves are primarily burgundy colored with a pinkish tinge and are easily grown as foundations, borders or en masse. If you’re bothered by critters, no need to worry. Deer avoid Barberry because it’s covered with sharp barbs or thorns.

Sunset Gold Breath of Heaven (Coleonema) is a low-growing, mounding evergreen, which has soft, feathery foliage in a beautiful More >

Growing Citrus Trees For Your Sacramento Home

Citrus trees make a wonderful addition to any Sacramento area home. Growing citrus in a container makes perfect sense not only for people with smaller spaces, but also for people who never thought about growing citrus because of the weather in Sacramento.

The many benefits of citrus trees from fresh orange juice and lemonade to simply owning a diverse garden can easily be your with a few simple tips and advice for growing citrus trees in your yard, on your porch or patio and even indoors.

The steps to successful citrus tree gardening begins with selecting the correct sized container. Somewhere close to a 10 or 15″ diameter pot is the perfect size. Use a smaller pot for one year dwarf citrus trees and larger for the two and three year dwarf trees. Green Valley Nursery has a wonderful selection of fashionable and practical pottery to choose.

As the citrus tree grows, you’ll need to increase the size of the container to a larger size container around 15 to 20″. Don’t start with a large container right away. The soil moisture can get to be difficult to maintain and may cause root rot in the tree. Citrus trees need plenty of good drainage. More >
