Growing
Selecting the Plants we grow
- why native?
We select woody plants that perform multiple roles in the landscape:
Propagation
-why locally sourced?
Glacier Oaks sources and collects seed locally because:
-
The seed has the genetic information passed down from thousands of years of climate changes
-
These are the plants that the local flora and fauna evolved with, drawing from them, sustenance and shelter.
-
These are the plants that will adapt to future climates and changes in the environment.
Growing for the Landscape
Methods of growing for the transplant environment to ensure a thriving transplant:
-
Promotes root development to enhance transplanting to the urban landscape
-
All plants start in containers that promote fibrous root development that continues in field soils.
-
Clay loam forest soils promote site-root interface.
-
Pruning and training add ornamental value
-
Shearing for fullness to enhance privacy and energy conservation
-
Plant Health Care and Integrated Pest Management are the hallmark of our growing practices.
