Winterberry in three grades

The embedded email lists ilex in tips, medium and tall lengths. Its berry-loaded harvest was a feature of that year, not a promise of identical coverage or unlimited vase life in every crop.

A family product history

Patrick shared a photograph of himself and Nina from the first year they flocked branches and reflected on a more productive operation in later years. It connects a familiar Christmas product with the people who developed the farm business.

Bud-stage specimens and fall texture

Tulip magnolia was recommended as a specimen bud branch, with eventual flowering in water. Red oak, birch, mossy branches, antique hydrangea and cleaned lunaria rounded out the late-fall assortment. Current stage and condition should be confirmed.
