Happy holidays to all and wishing you the best. The holidays season is just starting and so has the Spring planning for our family owned Epic Grower nursery. Expect new plants to be added and some discontinued.
Air freight costs has tripled since 2019. All hybrid adeniums come from over seas. Once received, the the desert roses are grown larger at our nursery. However, the increased costs of the plants and freight has forced us to discontinued ordering more in at this time. Expect to hear an announcement of a great sale on the remaining adenium desert rose plants in late Winter for your spring growing.

Epic Grower plans to increase the types and numbers of heritage and exotic day lily’s. Presently, our grow house has many varieties getting ready for next spring. Yes, we will offer then in 1 gallon pots in 2023 once they re-sprout in spring for the season.
The Hoyas plants varieties will increase. Some common hoyas will be discontinued to make room for more rare ones. If you have a particular hoya varieties that you need for your plant collection, please send Epic Grower a note and we will try to get it.
Climbing roses were 100% sold out in 2022. Fairy rose, Westminster, Lady Banks, Sea Foam, Cascade, Pinata and others in 1 gallon and 3 gallon sizes disappear before spring ended. Expect a wider variety of these roses and more of them for 2023.
Fruit Trees, Berries and other deciduous plants
Now is the time to obtain and plant deciduous trees and berry bushes. In our area the leaves are gone from the trees This is the best time (through January) to plant fruits trees and berry bushes. The tree sap has receded to the lower portion of the trees.
Dig the hole twice as big as the root ball and partially fill it with good compost. Do not bury the root crown. Crown? When you take the plant out of the pot, the top of the roots ball/soil area is the crown. The plant needs air and if you bury the crown you could suffocate the plant. In late winter use 9 month time released fertilize are the top of the plants.
If you are in our area make an appointment to get apple and pear trees way below market price. All Epic Growers fruit trees area 7 gallon containers with their root balls out growing them. Enterprise, Granny smith, Wolf Creek, Golden Delicious, moon glow and others in stock.
