Sure it’s hot outside, but you can still plant during summer. So
long as key plant needs are met, adequate water, proper sun exposure
and well-drained soil, it can be done.
Angelica Nurseries digs plant material throughout the summer
successfully. Summer digging is a complex process that requires extra
time and labor to ensure viability.
- Plant material is watered a full day prior to harvesting
- Ball sizes are increased to further maximize water retention
- After removal from the field, plants are transported through an
overhead watering boom and placed in a ‘hardening off’ area to
acclimate prior to shipping.
Usually, plant failure is not because it was planted during the
summer, but because it’s basic needs were not met. Give Angelica a
call for premium plant material, hardened off for peak performance on
your Jobsite.
