We’re going behind the scenes at Iseli Nursery to see how the Monty Blue Spruce is made. It’s a beautiful cross between a Hoopsii and a Montgomery, and the process is fascinating. Watch as we track this tree’s journey through grafting, multiple re-pottings, and years of field trials to see what yours will look like in 20 years!

Thanks to @iselinursery for allowing us to learn so much on our visit!

  1. I am glad a few garden centers in our area carry stock from Iseli Nursery.

    I am in the process of teaching myself how to combine the sizes, textures and colors of plants, shrubs and trees to created beautiful landscaping on my property. The trick is to combine them so that they both present beautifully and grow together in harmony as the gardens age.

    You two have a talent for doing that, and it shows beautifully in the gardens in your yard.

  2. Propagation is amazing to me. To be able to take 2 different species and make a new one is exciting to me, but I’m easily amused πŸ˜‚.
    I can’t wait to see what’s we this year.

  3. Hey neighbors, I like these quick videos. Very informative. And your guys' personalities match the commercial vibe that wants me to buy these and more plants.

  4. Good timing! We just brought home two beautiful Iseli Bosnian pine trees to put into our zone 5 landscape this week. I can understand the value when I see all the time it takes to get the trees to the size they are in the nurseries!

  5. Very cool to see the process behind these beautiful trees! So how many did you guys have shipped home?!πŸ˜…

  6. Love seeing the behind-the-scenes of my favorite nursery. wish they'd let me in…now how to get a landscape license πŸ€”

  7. It is great that we are starting to understand the process and years of work that goes into these trees. Otherwise, I am at these nurseries with a major attitude about their pricing.
