Run a nursery? You’ve probably experienced your share of problems. Luckily, Frostproof Growers Supply has been working with nurseries and orchards for years in order to offer the wholesale nursery supplies they’ve been looking for. Let’s take a look at some of the most important products we sell to help managers run their nurseries more efficiently.
Plant and Tree Stakes
Putting a tree is in the ground is just the first step. Even if a tree ends up ‘making it,” that doesn’t mean that’s it’s going to grow big and strong and turn into a good producer of fruit.
Tree stakes aren’t just there to prevent a plant from falling over in strong wind. Plants that are put under less stress can put energy toward growing instead of just steadying themselves, allowing them to grow faster and sell sooner.
Tags
Lots of trees can look similar when they’re young. While you might be able to distinguish them from their bark or full-sized leaves when they’re mature, it can be a different story when they’re young (especially if they are only slightly different species).
Properly tagging a tree when it’s young ensures that it’s not going to confuse you in the future and cause you to sell a plant as one species when in fact it’s something different. Aluminum trees tags hold up the to the weather better, a must if you have nursery trees that are going to be on the property for years. We have embossing write-on tags in 3-inch and 4-inch varieties so that you can keep track of your trees.
Twist Ties
You might have a thousand twist ties in your junk drawer at home, but we wouldn’t trust the plants in a nursery with them! We have high-quality plastic-coated and paper-covered twist ties that will hold up well outdoors. We even have 7000-foot spools if you need to cut your own lengths.
Tree-T-Pees
We recently wrote an entire article all about the Tree-T-Pee, which we’d heartily suggest reading. But if you don’t have time, here it is in a nutshell.
Tree-T-Pees are tiny tipi-shaped conical plastic containers that surround the bulk of a tree when it’s young. They can drastically reduce usage of water, fertilizer, herbicides, and pesticides because all of those can be delivered directly to the base of the plant; evaporation and overspray are kept to a minimum. Because the Tree-T-Pees are black, they use the water to create a little sauna around the plant and keep it warmer, speeding up the growing process. This attribute also protects trees from frost.
