Putnam County Seedling Orders Due March 26
Spring will be here sooner than you think and with that, comes sprucing up the yard, and making decisions about plant materials for your property. The Putnam County Soil & Water Conservation District is once again offering a variety of trees and shrubs to assist landowners in providing food and shelter for wildlife, groundcover for erosion control, and natural native beautification.
Every year, the district tries to offer a variety, but if you've been holding out, just waiting for something different to come along, this is your year! Sure, they have the old stand-bys, but who would have ever thought, ferns, and yes, even blueberries and raspberries! They still have their low cost transplants of Eastern White Pine, White Spruce, and Colorado Blue Spruce but they also have a variety of seedlings and shrubs such as American Hornbeam. (Musclewood), Swamp White Oak, Paw Paw, Stream-co Willow, Winterberry, Witch Hazel, and Kousa dogwood are just several of the trees and shrubs available. The tried and true Myrtle and Pachysandra are there as well as five different ferns, Trumpet Vine and Daylilies.
Trees are sold bare root, and are hand dipped in a moisture protection gel, wrapped and bagged. Orders need to be placed by March 26. Call 845- 878-7918 or go to www.putnamcountyny.com for an order form.
