A few notes about Evergreen Sizes:

2-0 seedlings are grown in seedbeds for 2 years, 3-0 seedlings are grown for 3 years and then are dug up and sold as bare root seedlings. The same applies for 4-0 trees. 2-2 (or any double number) transplants are in seedbeds for 2 years then dug up and placed in transplant beds where they have more room for the roots to grow.

A note about Summer Bulbs:

The Gladiolus, Giant Dahlias and Calla Lilies should be treated as annuals or dug up in the Fall and stored in a cool, but frost free area for the Winter and can be replanted the following Spring.
