Proceeds from our 2022 sales supported the treatment of ash trees in public parks around Salem against the Emerald Ash Borer. The Emerald Ash Borer is an invasive beetle that infests, eats, and eventually kills all native ash tree species found in the United States. Inoculating ash trees helps them survive against emerald ash borer infestation; treating ash trees has become essential as the emerald ash borer spreads further across the United States. In partnership with SavATree and the City of Salem, Salem Native Nursery helped identify and treat several ash trees at Mary Jane Lee Park and around Salem that were infested by the Emerald Ash Borer.
In partnership with Farm Direct Coop, based in Marblehead, Massachusetts, Salem Native Nursery held its first ever Native Christmas Tree Sale. We offered 12-inch Balsam Firs, a perfect tabletop decoration for any room. The balsam fir is a classic, dark green Christmas tree that is native throughout New England and is commonly copied by artificial tree makers!
Thank you all for your continuing support of growing native plants in Salem, Massachusetts. Salem Native Nursery will be back again in 2023. Check out our Facebook page for nursery updates and future events!
