New Plants Added to Our Portfolio

While LCN Selections has been the cornerstone of our sales, license and marketing efforts, UpShoot is proud to say we’re also taking on additional breeder clients.  We would like to announce a unique tree from a great grower partner:

	Firebird™ Variegated Dogwood Tree
	Brilliant red flowers followed by variegated foliage tinted red all summer long!

To learn more about these cultivars as well as the other new plant introductions we represent, please visit with us at the tradeshows listed below, give us a call or shoot me an email.
Information on new plants and the companies we represent can be found on www.upshoothort.com.

Divide and Conquer!

Trade show season is upon us and UpShoot will be at the industry events listed below.
This year besides Jim and me, we have a fresh face with us – my youngest son Robert Pettorini – who will be attending the MANTS show with me. Robert worked his first trade show in August, manning the UpShoot booth at the FarWest show.

Robert has been behind the scenes maintaining the Mary Elizabeth show garden and as our resident computer geek.
We welcome his friendly personality to help us divide and conquer the trade show floor this winter to visit all our licensed growers. Be sure to ask Robert or I for your ‘Sweet Treat’!
