It was just one year ago I put up a post about how we (Rushton Farms) continue to bring in new plants late into the season. This current post just proves that nobody reads this blog. I can't tell you how many calls I've received in the last couple of weeks from customers and potential customers wondering if we "still" have any of these or "still" have any of those. What do you mean "still"? If we run out, we get more. Why should October be any different then June? October is a big month and in order to maintain that we need plants to sell. This week, the week of 10/20, I have four trucks comming in with plants like 4-5' Emerald Greens, 6-7' Nigras, 18-24" Hicks and Densiformis. There are also 15-18" and 18-24" Green velvet boxwood, Rhododendron, Climbing Hydrangea, Fragrant viburnums, pieris japonica and a bunch more stuff, and that's just this week! Look, this is a serious opperation, we see on average 30-40 landscapers a day, these guy's jobs are hard enough these days they don't need their suppliers making it harder by cutting back on inventory just because it's late in the season. As the buyer here I feel a responsibility to have plants available when they need them.

I like to compare us to a really busy delicatessen, our product is always fresh, always good, and lots of variety. And it's you the landscaper, our customers, that makes this possible, if it weren't for you buying from us, we would look like the other nurseries this time of the year, with a limited variety of tired looking plants.
