J. Frank Schmidt & Son Co. We continue to be in autumn overload here at J. Frank Schmidt & Son Co. While the best of the fall color is gone with the wind (and the rain), we captured these images to share with you. Still ablaze - Sourwood, Stewartia and Paperbark Maple, to name a few.

J. Frank Schmidt & Son Co. A remote radio broadcast from the pavilion of the Portland Japanese Garden was a perfect setting for talking about the fantastic display of fall color that is happening in Portland this month. Mike Darcy's show airs at 9 a.m. every Saturday. Tune in, and be sure to visit the Japanese Garden!

Nancy,
These pics are so cool. I LOVE the Japanese Maple. I wish I could grow one here. It's just not wet enough...
You look so good, too...

Kim, all you need is afternoon shade and some drip irrigation - oh and did I mention well-drained, loamy slightly acid soil? Well, my point is that you have to work at it a bit, but you CAN grow Japanese Maples in your realm. Next time you are in Portland, let's rendezvous at the Japanese Garden.

Yes indeed, Linda, you do have an eye for a good dog. Although I don't suppose Cody will be welcome at the Japanese Garden tomorrow, perfect or not. This photo was taken when Mike and I did a segment on fall color for his television show, in that pretty woodsy park on Iron Mountain.

Thanks Martha! Still missing you when the ASLA meeting rolls around each year, but Daryl Brach, "the new guy," takes good care of us at the EXPO. This year our exhibit group included 11 booths, and one of our great customers from the Great Lakes region, Kaneville Nursery, brought in two magnificent 6-inch+ caliper shad...e trees. Collectively, we created our own little urban forest inside Chicago's McCormick Center. Read all about it in "Clippings,", attached.
Lining up 16 exhibitors for next years ASLA meeting in Washington, DC. Be there!

Hi Beth. It's good to hear from our former interns (notice we didn't say "old.") We miss you too. Are you in the plant business these days?

Yes I am. I was a grower at an annual/perennial greenhouse in Denver for a few years then made the jump to interior plantscaping in San Diego a couple years ago. It's a bit different then the nursery biz but I still work with plants and keep my hands dirty.

Glad to hear you are still getting your hands dirty. Sounds like a nice warm place to garden - and cool in the summer with AC in the interiorscapes. Best of both worlds.

Thanks Kirk. And thanks to ALL for signing on to our Fan Page! We'll do our best to bring you tree news that you can use. The Climate Friendly Nurseries project is modeled after a program pioneered by the Oregon wine industry. Our wine grape growers are leading the way in sustainable growing practices, and we agree wit...h them that what's good for the land is good for the wine - and for the trees. Shall we drink to that? http://www.oregonwine.org/Discover_Oregon_Wine/Sustainability/Read More

Thanks Carl. We try to do the right thing! We figure that since trees improve our environment and reduce our collective carbon footprint, that we need to do our best to grow them sustainably.
