PSA, Atlantic County. I just killed 13 spotted lantern fly (SLF) adults today on our property. They’re here (it was only a matter of time). I reported our sighting on New Jersey’s website. Atlantic County is not currently a quarantined county, so any sightings should be reported (sightings in Cumberland, Cape May, and Ocean Counties in south Jersey should also be reported). The SLF pictured here is on a tree of heaven (Ailanthus altissima) sapling. Tree of Heaven is also an invasive species from the same part of Asia as the SLF, so it can attract them. If you have tree of heaven on your property, please consult with the New Jersey Invasive Species Strike Team’s website for information on the eradication measures for tree of heaven.

We’ve got some new additions to our plant availability, and some plants that sold out and are back in stock. We have sold out of milkweed, but these, along with some other new species, will become available in a few short weeks, and we still have plenty of plants to pot up this season! As the growing season progresses and plants become ready, they’ll get added to our availability list, so please check our availability regularly. It is typically updated every other week, but sometimes more often if there are significant changes. Below, please find a link to our current, and anticipated, availability, updated on 6/15/2021. In the “availability” column you can find out whether a plant is available now, or will be at a future date. Plants listed in BOLD are available now.
