I’m thrilled to announce that\u00a0Lake County New Plants\u00a0has evolved into\u00a0UpShoot\u2122 LLC<\/a>! My father Jim Zampini and I are\u00a0passionate about plants and through UpShoot we’re able to help eveyone – from breeders to plantsmen and grower to gardeners – live out their passion for plants too.<\/p>\n

Our deep roots in all aspects of the green industry means we provide individualized\u00a0sales,\u00a0marketing and\u00a0licensing\u00a0for new plant introductions nationally and worldwide. We share our horticultural expertise via my\u00a0writing and speaking engagements. With UpShoot, the world is a little more alive – and a lot greener.<\/p>\n

To grow your horticulutre busines, schedule a speaking engagement, read some of my articles or just get to know us a little better, visit upshoothort.com, going live in December!<\/p>\n

Your First Born are Special – Even Plants!

The first plant Jim Zampini ever patented was\u00a0Malus<\/em><\/a>Weeping Candied Apple\u2122<\/a>in 1977.\u00a0Jim grew up with the fields of the great\u00a0Storrs & Harrison Nursery<\/a>\u00a0as his playground.\u00a0 He would marvel at the wooden row stakes with botanical plant names scribed by hand in calligraphy.\u00a0 He found Latin names hard to pronounce.\u00a0 He said “If I am ever to bring a plant to market, I will give it a name people can relate to.”<\/p>\n

His inspiration for Weeping Candied Apple\u2122\u00a0was obviously its small, bright red fruit.\u00a0 It reminded him of being a child, walking hand-in-hand with his father at the county fair, so desperately wishing they had enough money to buy a cherry-red candied apple in the concession stand window!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

G’day Mate!<\/h4>\n
I’m proud to say\u00a0I’ll\u00a0be the featured keynote speaker at the\u00a0Australian Nursery & Garden Industry National Conference<\/a>\u00a0down under this coming March.\u00a0In fact, I present right after the Australian Minister of Agriculture (no pressure)!<\/p>\n

After the conference in Brisbane I’ll be spending a week\u00a0touring the outback with Liz Darmondy ofFleming\u2019s Nursery<\/a>.\u00a0 Fleming’s is LCN’ Selections Australia’s preferred agent.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

LaMalfa Draws a Line with Trees<\/h4>\n

Two summers ago\u00a0LaMalfa\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0wanted to create a barrier between their Holiday Inn Express and Party\u00a0Centre and strip mall businesses bordering their property. Over 129\u00a0Prunus c.<\/em>Crimson Pointe<\/strong><\/a>\u2122<\/span><\/strong><\/a>\u00a0upright, columnar flowering plums were planted as a privacy hedge.<\/p>\n

LaMalfa\u2019s has also utilized\u00a0Malus\u00a0<\/em>Lollipop<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00ae<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0a top-grafted, fragrant dwarf crabapple in parking strips and circling a prominent water feature. Their dwarf size also makes them a fit perfect in\u00a0containers.<\/p>\n

Planted\u00a0in\u00a0the\u00a0Northeast Ohio snow belt\u00a0means\u00a0these two trees are proving to be worthy salt tolerant\u00a0choices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n

Happy Thanksgiving!<\/h4>\n

While my father Jim Zampini and I\u00a0are the recognizable faces of UpShoot, my mother\u00a0Margaret\u00a0has always been our\u00a0primary background supporter. Family means everything to mom and the holiday season brings out a host of\u00a0treasured family traditions.<\/p>\n

As usual, you’ll find me in the kitchen being\u00a0a pie baking machine for Thanksgiving.\u00a0I’ll be\u00a0whipping up\u00a0a dozen or so pecan, apple and pumpkin pies to share with family. Look to my\u00a0personal\u00a0Facebook page<\/a>\u00a0for photos that look as good as they smell and taste.<\/p>\n

We\u00a0hope your blessings this holiday are like autumn leaves . . .
too many to count.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
