Dear Customer,
Many of our early customers are enjoying their plantations of trees they planted 10 to 20 years ago. The best time to have started a plantation was 10 to 20 years ago, the next best time is now. Itasca Greenhouse specialaizes in Northern hardy seed sources and we would be happy to supply your seedling needs.
Order early, as we are selling more and more of our stock each year. Even with the new greenhouse addition, we are selling outof some of the more popular species. Many of our customers are ordering earlier each year and more are having us custom or contract grow seedlings to meet their needs.
Get your treezs off to a good start by using Mycorrhizal inoculants, weed barrier mats, anti-transpirants, and site preparation and maintenance chemicals.
We have just taken on two new products that will help control the stress on plants and over wintering drying. MOISTURIN is an anti-transpirant which olds the moisture in plants during a variety of stress situations such as hot & cold temperatures, frost/freezes, drought etc. MOISTURIN has proven to be the most effective of all foliar anti-transpirants tested. STASSIS is another type of anti-transpirant which is applied to the roots as a drench, which in turn causes the plant to close its stomata and naturally control the loss of moisture.
Deer and animal browse continues to be an increasing problem throughout the country. We offer browse deterrents, including spray on repellents (Plantskydd and Tree Guard), tree shelters, bud cap netting and deer net fence.
Our demand for tree seedlings packaged for special occasions continues to grow. Consider using our packaged trees for promotions, weddings, funerals, and other special occasions. Let our experienced staff help personalize your special occasions with specially packaged tree seedlings.
Visitors are always welcome to tour our unique greenhouse (please call to schedule a tour). Questions? Drop by our booth at numerous trade shows, e-mail us or call. Our experienced staff will be glad to help you.
Sincerely,

William R. Sayward
President / Chief Weeder |
