$10 Insurance For Your New Fruit Trees

No, we are not selling crop insurance but we do sell a different kind of insurance.

Raw Mojave Desert soil in North Las Vegas that had never been irrigated or had a crop growing on it. If prepared properly, it is perfect for growing fruit trees.

 For many years I demonstrated at the University Orchard in North Las Vegas (North Decatur and Horse Road) the importance of wood mulch to the growth and health of fruit trees growing in our native desert soils. These were desert soils had never seen any kind of irrigation or crops growing on them.

The difference in one season of growth between fruit trees, at the University Orchard growing in native desert soils, that were mulched and fruit trees that were not.

All of the fruit trees were planted the same, using 50% Viragrow compost mixed in the native soil at the time of planting. All trees received exactly the same irrigation and fertilizers. The only difference was the surface mulch; wood chips shredded from local trees.You will see the same kind of growth from surface mulching ornamental trees and shrubs.

Viragrow's OGC, "organic" wood mulch from forest products harvested in Utah. A perfect wood mulch for fruit trees and ornamentals.

Viragrow just got in a load of "organic", natural forest wood mulch from Utah. This is really nice stuff. I would highly recommend it for your fruit trees and ornamental plants. It is about as ideal as a surface mulch as you can get. It will decompose slowly adding nutrients to the soil, improving soil health and drainage, bring life to desert soils, improve moisture holding, keep weeds in check, keep soils cooler and improve root growth.

Viragrow's OGC or Organic Ground Cover, a superior natural wood mulch for improving the growth of fruit trees and ornamentals.
