The first killing frosts have come and ended the growing season but memories of an orangish-gold tomato persist. The Golden Jubilee Tomato is a tasty treat that adds a splash of color to your salad, sandwich, or snack.   Golden Jubilee Tomatoes have a mild flavor and are low in acid for those with sensitive stomachs. It produces a medium size fruit and has the indeterminate growth habit, meaning it will continue to produce until frost.   If you have not  tried a Golden Jubilee Tomato put it on your spring planting list. Trees That Please Nursery has these colorful gems available each spring planting season. Photos & Narrative By: Stephen Sain Staff Plant Physiologist  

Both Our New Mexico and Texas Redwoods have produced male flowers this season for the first time since planting. Both of these redwood varieties were seed planted about 20 years ago. The original seed source for our New Mexico Redwood was a specimen found growing in the Gila wilderness. This tree has produced female flowers (cones) for 4-5 years now but without a pollen source no viable seed is produced (cones are sterile). The male flowers, produced in abundance this season hang in clusters. Individual flowers are still closed at this time (October) so are not shedding pollen (see photo below).   We are very excited about the potential to produce this rare tree, a New Mexico Native, from seed in the coming years. The New Mexico Redwood, ( Taxodium mucronatum var. neomexicana ) is a fast growing deciduous tree. Native to New Mexico, few specimens survive in the wild. As a riparian tree, with deep roots, the New Mexico Redwood is best grown with ample water. It is no

Each autumn visitor’s to Trees That Please Nursery are treated to a special presentation of Fabulous Fall Foliage courtesy of our Red Oaks. The players in this dazzling display are a New Mexico native, the Chisos Red Oak,  and the Texas Red Oak, not native but gets as close as west Texas. We propagate both trees from acorns collected from wild populations. The Chisos Red Oak, ( Quercus gravesii ) a New Mexico native is found in the Organ Mountains by Las Cruces. This oak can grow 1’ – 4’ per year reaching 30’ – 35’ tall and sometimes as wide. It has a deep tap root so could be planted closer to structures than say a surface rooted tree like a Cottonwood or Globe Willow. Fall foliage colors are reds, maroons, and occasionally orange. The Texas Red Oak, ( Quercus buckleyi ) can also grow 1’ to 4’ per season reaching 40’ – 45’ tall and 25’ – 30’ wide. It also has a tap root so may be planted nearer structures than surface rooted trees. Fall foliage colors are

Looking for that special fruit tree for your backyard or business? We’ve made a special effort to ensure we have fruit trees available for the favored fall planting season. Fall is a great time to plant! Water Stress is reduced in the fall and the winter dormancy period will be here soon. While the above ground portion of your fruit tree goes dormant, root growth can continue through winter. Fall planting coupled with winter root growth allows your fruit tree to resume growth in Spring, in your landscape, with no further disturbances. Winter care consists of watering at least once every 3 – 4 weeks to ensure the root system remains moist and does not dry out which will result in root death. Just choose a day when your hose is not frozen and give your tree a good soaking. We have Apples, Apricots, Cherries, Pears, Plums, Peaches, Nectarines, Grapes, and Blackberries. All fruit trees are available in 5 gallon containers, are of flowering age, and most are 3/4 “ to 1” in trunk
