Valentine’s Day - What you gonna do?

Are you tired of giving flowers that wither and die after a few days? Looking for something that lasts longer? Say I Love You with an Ever- or Long-Blooming Flowering Plant! Why not plant a permanent reminder of your love and devotion?

Need something larger, consider a large shrub or small tree like:

Chaste Tree – is a fast growing shrub with multiple trunks growing to 15'-20' tall and wide. The Chaste tree produces lavender flowers in clusters from summer until frost that attract butterflies and honey bees. This tree has aromatic leaves and is very heat tolerant. The Chaste tree is best planted in full sun with low to regular water.  Hardy to USDA Zone 7.
Desert Willow - is a multi-trunked tree to 15' tall and wide, taller if pruned into a single-trunk specimen. Desert willows are extremely well suited for the xeric landscape or to cool down a west or south facing wall. They produce orchid like flowers that attract hummingbirds and bloom from summer until frost. Trees are available with white, pink, or burgundy colored flowers. The desert willow does very well on low water but if watered more regularly flower production is increased. Hardy to USDA Zone 6.
Trees That Please Nursery has a great selection of Valentine’s Day Long-Blooming plants for that special someone. So express yourself with a long-blooming plant that says I Love You all season. For questions please contact us at: treesthatplease@comcast.net; Phone: 505-866-5027.

Question: How close to my house can I plant a Cottonwood tree?

Cottonwoods grow to be immense trees attaining dimensions of up to 40 - 50 feet tall and wide with a root system to match. Cottonwoods have a surface root system that can heave sidewalks, crack walls and home foundations if planted too close. Cottonwoods should be planted a minimal distance from structures of at least 25 feet if not further. Trees That Please Nursery carries two varieties of cotton-less, Cottonwood Trees. Please contact us or stop by the store for more information.

In fact, when planted in areas of high rainfall (> 20” per year), it becomes susceptible to a number of diseases and rapidly declines. This problem has occurred in East Texas.   The Afghan Pine thrives in heat, wind, and tolerates drought. Afghan Pine must be planted in soils with good drainage like sand. It is not suitable for poorly drained heavy clasy soils. Afghan Pines are generally pyramidal or Christmas tree shaped in form when young   becoming more oval or irregular with age. The leaves of the Afghan Pine are evergreen needles usually found in groups of 2 per fascicle or sheath. Needles are shed after several years and make excellent mulch as they fall around the trees base.   It has attractive trunk bark that becomes dark and furrowed with...

Weed Identification: Goatheads or Stickers

If you miss’em visually then they will stab you painfully in the fingers as you work your garden, or stick to your clothing and shoes. Goatheads are the primary reason local bicyclists must get “thorn proof” tires for riding on area trails and streets. Goatheads have prostrate stems that radiate outward from one central point. Leaves are compound with smaller leaflets. Lemon yellow flowers form along the stems and fertilized flowers form fruits.   Fruits consist of several attached structures called nutlets (Goatheads). Each nutlet is a single seed that becomes hard or woody when mature. Each seed has two sharp spines that easily pene...
