Fast Growing Trees Nursery Blog

The producers for The Today Show asked me “What’s your Hottest Fast Growing Tree?”

I gave some of my favorites, then when I described the Summers Red Maple they flipped out.

“We can say this grows twice as fast as other red maple trees plus gives red foliage for months longer?” was their response.

I said, “not only that, but the red foliage starts in July and August… a characteristic that no other maple trees offer.”

We discussed how the oversized leaves can cut summer AC bills by 20%… just by shading the east, west and southwest sides of a home and the air conditioning units. Then in the winter, those large leaves fall, letting through sunlight when it’s needed most.

So we helped them put together the segment and sent them several Summers Reds, so they could demonstrate how they grow 4+ ft per year.

A new study released by the Environmental Working Group shows that significant amounts of chemicals can be absorbed into fruit.

If you thought you were safe by just washing or peeling your fruit, you may want to reconsider your choices.

Apples, peaches and cherries were shown to absorb the most chemicals, with berries not far behind.

But planted in your own backyard, these fruit trees are easily grown with no pesticides at all.

Fruits that are indented at the top tend to puddle chemicals… the stem then pulls the pesticides into the interior of the fruit. You can scrub your fruit all you want, but you can’t get rid of it.

Blueberries are always in the news because of their health benefits. They’re full of healthy antioxidants, which have been shown to slow signs of aging.

And the safest way to get blueberries is to grow them yourself. Recent studies have shown that after washing grocery store apples, 50% of the pesticides are still on the surface of your fruit.

And that’s fruit with waxy, non-porous skin. Fruit with softer skin, like blueberries, absorb higher amounts of chemicals… so the need to grow fruit trees yourself is even greater.

Just three blueberry plants can give you bushels full of healthy, juicy blueberries every year. We’re sure to send you the perfect combination of pollinators, so you get the most berries possible.
