Winter is an excellent time to plant your new shade and fruit trees, as long as the ground is not covered with ice, snow or frozen solid. That's most of the time for clients living in Albuquerque and Valencia County's. It's very important to also make sure the tree was grown locally, as only then will it be best adapted to the seasonally changes and winter cold. Since Trees That Please is the only retail nursery in the Albuquerque market that grows its own trees, so we are your best option. Also, during the dormant winter months its easy to transport a tree, as you don't need to worry about protecting the plant as you buzz down the freeway.

Fighting pesky rodents who are eating the roots of your shrubs and trees, called Gophers. Try blood meal by dusting the soil around the plant until the surface looks black and dusty. Then water it in. How does it work? Simple, to Gophers or rabbits the smell of blood makes them think there's a predator around, so they avoid that spot. A side benefit is that Blood meal is a rich source of soluble nitrogen, which plants can use. But because of that characteristics its important to not use too much or too often as you can kill plants with excess nitrogen fertilizers even from a natural organic source like blood. Trees That Please has blood meal available in handy size bags.
