MOON Means Quality

Cultural Practices

Moon began operation in Yardley, Pennsylvania in 1971 under the ownership of Walt Flowers and began production at the current Chesapeake City, Maryland location under the leadership of John Pursell in 1989. Today, Moon Nurseries is an employee owned and operated company producing over 40,000 trees and 350,000 container plants a year from our Maryland nurseries.

Ideally located on Maryland’s Eastern Shore between the Chesapeake Bay and the Delaware Bay, our trees and shrubs are nurtured in a rich, fertile, loamy soil with a warm, moist extended growing season.

But that’s just the beginning! Each tree and plant is meticulously cared for by hand.

B&B Trees

Each tree and plant is meticulously cared for by hand. Trees are fortified with frequent fertilization; drip irrigated for proper root development; monitored to prevent disease and pests; staked to encourage straight trunk growth; and pruned and spaced to promote uniform head growth.

Our plants are given every opportunity to be their best. As a Moon customer you deserve nothing less.

Container Stock

Our container stock is started from the highest quality liners (many of which we propagate ourselves); potted in variety specific soil mixes, which include slow release fertilizers for optimal root and shoot growth; irrigated regularly; monitored for pest and disease control; properly spaced and aggressively pruned for full growth and uniformity.

Commitment

We are committed to contributing to the profitability of your business. As part of the Moon family, your suggestions for new varieties and/or services are always welcome. Additionally, we invite you to visit anytime, to learn and to share the cultural practices that make ours a winning partnership.

Performance

Moon’s trees and shrubs are grown with your customers’ landscapes in mind. The performance of our plants impacts the way customers perceive your business. Fortunately, Moon’s uncompromising commitment to quality assures that Moon trees and shrubs are grown to outperform all others.
