What's better than one tractor on a tree nursery in winter? Two. Especially when it's 95% mud! 🚜🚜

It's wet, it's muddy, and it's definitely not glamorous - but bare root season waits for no one. This is the reality of the season: tractors pulling tractors, crews working through heavy rain, and long days doing what needs to be done, whatever the weather. When the trees are ready, the work gets done. Our team is out lifting, grading, bundling, heeling in, and then shipping thousands of bare root trees to our fantastic customers all across the country.

A huge thank you to our incredible crew who keep things moving, rain, mud and all. You really are the best!🏆

TEAM DOGS! 🐾

Meet Patrick, a much-loved and valued member of our crew.

At , dogs aren’t just welcome - they’re part of the team! We truly believe they make the world a little brighter (and the workday a whole lot better). 🐶 From walks through the nursery to keeping spirits high during busy days, our four-legged friends bring plenty of joy, laughter, and companionship to the team.

Patrick is no exception - always up for a pat, a play, or just hanging with the team. He keeps everyone smiling, especially when he decides to take a dip in the dam. We wouldn’t have it any other way. 💚

Ever wondered where those awesome autumn colours come from?

As the weather cools, days shorten, and leaves receive less sunlight, trees begin shutting down photosynthesis (the process plants use to turn sunlight into energy). Chlorophyll - the green pigment that converts sunlight into energy - breaks down, revealing the hidden yellow and orange pigments already inside the leaves (carotenoids and xanthophylls). Interestingly, chlorophyll appears green because it absorbs blue and yellow wavelengths of light, while reflecting green back to our eyes. Red and purple tones appear later when trapped sugars create anthocyanins, often triggered by sunny days and cold nights.

As trees become dormant, a hormone called abscisic acid forms a seal at the base of each leaf, allowing the tree to reabsorb valuable nutrients before the leaves fall. Reduced water flow traps remaining chemicals in the leaves, which gradually break down and change colour. Because this process happens at different rates, trees display many changing hues throughout autumn.
