New Fruit and Nut Trees, Cane Berries, Blueberries and Strawberries Are Here!
Bare Root Trees on Sale
Lael’s Moon Garden has received our new shipment of bare root fruit and nut trees, cane berries and strawberries ready for planting now. We also have a great selection of potted blueberries.
We’re on our winter schedule open weekends Saturday and Sunday 10 AM to 5 PM through February. For your added convenience, we will increase the days we are open beginning March 3rd. our new hours will be 10 am to 6 pm, Thursday through Monday. We will be available at other hours and days by a phone call to (360) 273-9567.
Right now is the time to get the best selection of bare root trees, berry canes, blueberry and strawberry plants for Western Washington. Here’s what you get.
You get bigger trees that will bear sooner than the smaller trees typically sold at the box stores. (But we have nothing against Homer at the Depot. We think he’s as smart as he looks!)
You get many varieties tested here at the nursery or at the WSU Western Washington testing facility (Mt Vernon) that are proven to do well and bear fruit in our soggy, cool climate. Don’t be fooled by famous grocery store varieties—most of that fruit is grown in Yakima and Wenatchee or, pardon the expression, New Zealand. Those trees usually do not bear good fruit here, as our season is shorter and cooler.
Seascape strawberries
Chehalis Apple
Montmorency Pie Cherry
You get 10 percent off of our regular low prices on fruit and nut trees while they are bare root. (When they begin to grow and have to be put in pots, this discount no longer applies.) And if you buy 5 or more bare root trees you get 15% off.
Do not delay if you want the best selection at the discount price. Some highly popular varieties like Honeycrisp and Chehalis apples, Frost peaches, and Tristar and Seascape strawberries sell out very quickly. Although we have ample supplies at first, the selection dwindles when customers see the size and quality of plants we have.
We also have a few potted apples, cherries, grapes, kiwis, mulberries and plums from last year, but the supply is limited.
We’ve created lists with variety names, sizes and prices of the bare root fruit and nut trees, cane berries and strawberries and container edibles that we currently have in stock.

Things to Do in the Garden-February
Spring is coming and lots of plants are starting to show new growth. Now is a good time to trim up the ornamental grasses and prune fruit trees. On roses, wait until mid to late February to start pruning. As the new growth on Hellebores starts to emerge, cut off the old ratty foliage. You’ll see your flowers better and removing the old foliage helps to prevent the spread of botrytis and other fungal diseases. With evergreen ferns, cut off the old foliage as the new fiddleheads emerge and the plants will look new and fresh.
Look around your garden at its bones or structure. Do you like what you see? Or is something too large for its home or would look better in a different place? Any transplanting, especially on larger trees and shrubs, should be done soon. Once the new leaves start to come out, it may be too shocking to move.
Need help or advice? Bring in pictures of your garden to the nursery and we’ll give you some tips. We can also show you plants with winter interest to make your garden pop with color, even on a grey day. Right now the witch hazels are in full fragrant bloom and so are the Sarcococca. Stop by for a sniff and a peak at the nursery or visit with us at one of the garden shows.
