At Duarte Nursery we strive to provide a clean, high-quality product to setup growers for success. Our containerized trees and vines help with sanitation and allow for an extended planting season. However, our nursery efforts can not solely combat the evolving issue of climate change. Irregularities among plantings are becoming more problematic and significant and we believe climate change plays a role in this. These changes are likely a global pattern but we are particularly interested in California’s Central Valley. We encourage growers to read through some of the literature below from trusted providers to better understand the impact climate change could have on trees and vines.
