Ingleside Quality... Betula nigra 'Dura Heat'

Betula nigra 'Dura Heat' 
10-12' #25 PNP

Consistent Quality... that's what you need today and that's our goal and constant effort here at Ingleside.  It is difficult.  We're growing a natural product with many variables.  But, here's an example of what we strive for everyday.  Our latest crop of Dura Heat is very consistent.  Great cane size and overall structure.  Quality you can count on!  Currently, IPN has Dura Heat in the following sizes:  8-10' #15, 10-12' #25, and 12-14' #65.

------------------------------------------
Missouri Botanical Garden (MOBOT.ORG) says:
Dura Heat River Birch is a vigorous, fast-growing, medium-sized tree that is native from Minnesota to New Hampshire south to Florida and Texas. Typically found growing along streams and gravel beds, DURA-HEAT is a somewhat smaller cultivar that features better creamy white bark color, better tolerance to summer heat, better insect and disease resistance and superior foliage to the species. It typically grows 30-40’ tall as a single trunk or multi-trunked tree. Multi-trunked trees form a more irregularly shaped crown and are usually considered to be the superior growth habit for this tree. Exfoliating salmon to cinnamon bark reveals creamy white inner bark that can be nearly as white as the white-barked birches. Leathery, diamond-shaped, dark green leaves (to 3” long) with doubly toothed margins and tapered tips turn an undistinguished yellow in fall.

Big Rebloomer...It's like 'Happy Returns' on Steroids!

Hemerocallis ‘Big Time Happy’

An outstanding selection bred by Dr. Darrel Apps, one of only a small handful of truly everblooming Daylilies available to gardeners in northern regions. This lovely variety has large (4 inch) soft lemon-yellow blooms with ruffled edges and a green throat. Flowering continues constantly from May to frost. Diploid. Winter dormant. Spent flower stems can be trimmed back after all the buds have finished. Remove old foliage in late fall. Plants do not usually require dividing for several years, but are easily split apart in fall or early spring.  May well prove to be hardy in Zone 2.

Now available in limited quantities at IPN!

B&B Digging Update

B&B UPDATE:   The warmer days of spring have all of our dormant plants into spring flush.  We are now in "Customer Dig Risk" status for B&B deciduous plants.  We are also pre-watering prior to digging so extra time is needed for B&B shipments.  Extra care is needed post planting for a successful transplant. See your IPN Salesperson for details.
