We're so excited after Christmas, because it means that spring is just around the corner! The forsythia, which has been in the steam room for a week or so, is about ready to be shipped to us, and the sunny yellow is always amazing! The rest of the blooming branches will follow soon-- apple, plum, cherry, and almond. We ship from California first, then Oregon & Washington, last from western Canada. This means we enjoy them for a couple of months. The exciting part is watching the blooms open. Once they open, the fruit branches generally last just a few days, the forsythia will look good for a week or more.

 They're thirsty, so water daily. The stalks are heavy and woody, so use your sharpest pruner to make a fresh cut when you put them in water.  

Keep blooming, everyone.
