Broken Arrow Nursery • 2021 Retail Catalog Deciduous Shrubs This is NOT A MAIL ORDER CATALOG as the majority of plants are too large to ship. We do not print a mail order catalog, but do have an extensive mail order listing. To access our mail order selections, go to our website and select “Available Online (Mail Order)” from the “Shop Online (Mail Order)” drop down menu. We open for the 2021 season on April 5th (10:00 am to 5:00 pm 7 days a week). Please call us at 203-288-1026 or email at [email protected] for all pre-season inquiries. Reserving Material: Reserved plant material must be paid for in full and can be held at the nursery free of charge for up to 2 weeks beyond the purchase date. Material held for longer than 2 weeks will be assessed a 10% holding and handling fee for each additional week the plants are held for a maximum of 6 weeks. No material will be held for any reason for greater than 8 weeks. (July) Crops: You may notice many plant sizes and prices have (July) notations listed. This particular plant size or crop is a proposed crop with an estimated availability date and not guaranteed to be available as listed. If the plant you desire is listed with (July), please inquire with a sales associate for details regarding its expected timetable and availability. Native Plants: Everyone has an opinion as to what should be considered native. Traditionally we have nar- rowed the range of plants designated as “native” to those found in the Northeast (New England, New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey). For this year’s catalog, we have included native ranges for all species listed in an effort to educate and appeal to a broader set of “native/non native” perspectives. Garden Hybrids rep- resent hybrid plants that combine multiple species in the parentage. Guarantee: We guarantee that all plants sold by Broken Arrow Nursery are healthy and true to name when they leave the nursery. If such is not the case, we will replace the plant in question or issue a nursery credit for the purchase price of the plant. We are not responsible for losses caused by: • Neglect to appropriately water, feed, prepare the soil, or site your plant, including overwintering in containers. • Death or damage from hungry critters. • Extreme and unusual weather conditions or inappropriate climate zone. We have an excellent reputation and have every intention of maintaining it. Container Sizing: In addition to growing the majority of our own plant material at Broken Arrow, we also acquire plants from a network of friends and nurseries throughout the country. In order to make sense of the variety of container sizes we receive, as well as those in which we grow our own plants, we have adopted a container volume system dictated in the “American Standard for Nursery Stock” by the AmericanHort® to list the majority of our plants and their containers. We feel this will add clarity to the industry’s sometimes confusing, inconsistent sizing standards. #1 = 0.63 - 1.08 gallons (80.64 – 138.24 fl oz) #2 = 1.38 - 2.05 gallons (176.24 – 262.40 fl oz) #3 = 2.38 - 3.21 gallons (304.64 – 410.88 fl oz) #5 = 3.39 - 5.00 gallons (433.92 – 640.00 fl oz) #6 = 5.02 - 6.00 gallons (642.56 – 768.00 fl oz) #7 = 5.78 - 7.74 gallons (739.84 – 990.72 fl oz) #10 = 8.91 - 11.45 gallons (1140.48 – 1465.60 fl oz) Broken Arrow Nursery • 2021 Retail Catalog Abelia mosanensis Hardy Abelia - Zone 5 - Full Sun-Part Shade - Korea A medium-sized, deciduous shrub developing soft pink buds that open to showcase white flowers in early June.
