What Constitutes a ‘New’ Plant?<\/span><\/h4>\n

I had the pleasure of speaking with Kelly Norris at the GWA Symposium on’\u00a0Plants for a Successful Garden<\/strong><\/a>. Our talk highlighted many new plant introductions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We discussed the definition of ‘new’ and that it has multiple meanings; a brand new plant that has never been in the trade or a plant that is new to a grower, retailer or landscaper as just two examples.<\/p>\n

At UpShoot, we introduce new trees and shrubs to the trade and consumers.\u00a0 Woody ornamentals take considerably longer than other plants to bring to market.\u00a0 Annuals and perennials, relatively speaking, can easily be in and out of the market within a short time frame.<\/p>\n

We rely on garden writers to keep talking about long-term crops such as trees and shrubs far beyond the first date they are introduced to the trade or to garden writers.\u00a0 Keep in mind it can take several years to reach high production numbers needed to get mass exposure of product at the retail level.<\/p>\n

Thus ornamental plant introducers ‘need you’ to help us keep the buzz alive!\u00a0 Consider woodies being ‘new’ for more than a year, or two or three please!<\/p>\n

“I love\u00a0Lollipop\u00ae Dwarf Crabapple<\/a>\u00a0in groups of three on each side of a path. It creates rhythm and that tree gets tight pink buds followed by white flowers in spring, berries in summer that swell and turn darker in fall, and the no-maintenance orb canopy gives dense green shape in summer and dense twiggy shape in winter. All of this at eye level! What more could you ask of a tree?”
