Purify Your Surroundings With The Lovely Paulownia:
2008-01-16 13:35:00
Did you know that with just three acres of paulownia trees you are completely armed to filter out 20.5 tons of carbon each year? Yes, that’s right. This is one of the main reasons why environmentalists simply love these beautiful trees.Not only does the paulownia suck in heavy amounts of carbon from the surrounding air, but it also puts back equally huge amounts of vital oxygen back in the atmosphere. Paulownias also happen to be one of the few shade trees preferred by urban landscapers who plant these trees along roads and heavily trafficked pathways.Even if paulownia trees are cut down to create furniture or carvings, the carbon is not released back into the atmosphere, so you can sell or use your paulownia wood for any of these lucrative ventures without any guilt.So get started and plant a Paulownia Tree today and do your bit for Mother Earth.

Artificial Fire Logs:
2008-01-14 09:56:00
Sounds a wee far-fetched does it not? But they do exist and they are here to stay if the average consumer is made more aware about their existence.Artificial logs are made out of nature-friendly material like nuts, wood fiber, shells, plant-based waxes, recycled paper, coffee grounds and just about anything that is organic or can be re-used. They can also be used along with tree branches and leaves that litter your garden. But use these sparingly or else you just as might burn a normal log for the amount of smoke you will create! These artificial logs are said to burn longer than regular timber and manufacturers are producing them according to processes that meet pollution regulations. The fire is more pleasant-smelling then the normal wood which is used to fuel the house.Artificial logs can be good thing for the environment as well as for your garden. Think of the amount of pollution you’ll be helping prevent and also the good uses you can put your garden waste to…Just incase you ...

Superfruits:
2007-12-18 13:43:00
People tend to be more partial towards accepting the idea of fruits as beneficial to their health rather than vegetables. Fruits are juicy and sweet (in most cases), they can be eaten raw and to make it all better they come brightly colored.A step higher than regular fruits where nutritional value is concerned, superfruit is a generic term used to describe exotic fruits that may be either common or rare. They usually have rich stores of nutrients and a superior quality of antioxidants.The primary use for superfruits was in fruit juices and they were developed for this main purpose till research found more uses for them. Today, superfruits like blueberry, cranberry, pomegranate, cherry and acai are being recognized for their health promoting compounds that help in keeping certain diseases and illness at bay.Fruits and their elder siblings, superfruits, are a great option for many who like maintaining a healthy lifestyle. At the Fast Growing Trees Nursery we have some great fruit trees t ...

Caring For Your Bare Root Greens:
2007-12-12 14:23:00
The distinguishing characteristic of bare-root trees is the manner in which they are harvested. They are dug from the field and shipped sans any soil or dirt covering the roots. Some of the bare-root trees available at the Fast Growing Trees Nursery include apple trees, dogwoods, willows, cherry trees and raspberry bushes.The great thing about such plants is the gel-like residue called Terrasorb that coats their roots. It helps retain the inherent moisture of the plant making it more suitable to ship long distance.Once a bare-root plant is delivered to your doorstep, you need to ensure that it is planted ASAP. If, for any reason this is not possible, then simply store the plant in a cool area. The main idea is to keep the roots moist.You can also use the ‘heal-in’ method where coating the roots with a covering of soil does the trick. Take care to keep the stem devoid of any soil. For more detailed directions on taking care of your bare-root trees, view the checklist by clicking her ...

Cultivating In California:
2007-12-12 13:08:00
The ‘Golden State’ of California enjoys a diverse climate and topography thanks to it hugging most of the United States west coast. Such an extensive length-span makes this state the third largest state in the U.S.Growing trees in the state of California has to be a well-planned affair as the highest point on the U.S. [Mount Whitney] and the second lowest and hottest place in the western hemisphere [Death Valley] are hardly 200 miles apart! This highlights the environmental diversity that exists in this region.Geographically, the topography too is varied, ranging from the rocky Pacific beaches to the snow-topped mountains in the east. Incidentally, central California happens to be one of the largest and most productive agricultural zones in the world; but the southeastern region is home to arid, dry deserts.Such diverse environmental conditions warrant trees that are hardy, easily adaptable and fast growing. It is preferable to cultivate trees that are native to California as they ...

Cypress - Mystical, Magical, Healing:
2007-12-05 06:18:00
The sweeping roads of the Tuscan countryside are unthinkable without the rows of cypress trees lining them. Indeed, the tree is so much a part of the Tuscan way of life that cypress trees are very commonly known as ‘Tuscan Cypress’.Contrary to popular belief, the cypress is a native of the area surrounding Persia and Syria. The Etruscan traders carried the tree into the Mediterranean area thousands of years ago and popularized the mystical and supernatural stories surrounding the cypress. A history steeped in rich lore and legend makes the cypress an enchanting addition to any garden.The ancient Egyptian coffin-makers were the earliest users of the cypress as the wood resists rot. The fragrance of cypress was held to ward of demons and aid in the smooth passage of the soul to the nether world.The Europeans continued this tradition later using cypress leaves to make funeral wreaths. The Greeks revered the cypress and carved out statues of their gods from cypress wood.The cypress is ...

Ga Ga About Granny Smith:
2007-11-30 10:33:00
An unusual name for an apple isn’t it? But the humble Granny Smith has got more punch than other apples. Though Maria Smith [the namesake for the apple variety] never got to enjoy the honor of having the apples sold under her name, she is remembered by most Americans whenever they ask for a Granny Smith apple.In 1891, the Granny Smith apple bagged the prize for cooking apples in the Castle Hill Agricultural and Horticultural Show. Since then, Granny Smith apples are the choice apples for many an American dish, especially the famous ‘Apple Pie’.A lot of grannies, chefs and cooks prefer this variety of apple for cooking purposes as the flesh takes longer to brown out than other apple varieties. The flesh has a sour taste and the skin is firm and crisp, but the flavor that a Granny Smith apple imparts to a dish adds to its versatile nature.At the Fast Growing Trees Nursery, we include Granny Smith Apple Trees among our apple tree varieties. These trees have been pruned back to resul ...
