So far our winter here in the Southern Gulf Islands has brought above average precipitation but also above average temperatures that have only flirted with below freezing temperatures . Trees overwintering in the nursery seem to have entered their typical winter semi-dormant state where new growth has all but stopped. This is good since despite an unusually warm January, a weak La Niña winter typically brings arctic outflow conditions in February. Last February had extended extreme freezing all around the South Coast.

During January and February we will make sales and delivery to Greater Victoria and the Southern Gulf islands. Sales/deliveries to locations on the lower mainland and the rest of Vancouver Island will resume sometime in March. Currently we have one, two and a few three and five gallon pot sized trees available. Pricing depends on each tree’s age and canopy development. Pricing is typically: 1 gal $65-75, 2 gal $80-95 and 3-5 gal $120-175. Some of the varietals available are Cerignola, Coratina, Frantoio, Favarol, Cipressino, Premier, Seascape, Universal and Leccino. Look for some examples of currently available trees in an upcoming blog post.

And as a reminder, we only ever deliver to Victoria, Vancouver, the Lower Mainland and parts of Southern Vancouver Island. We do not ship trees.
