Customer Showcase: Lime Tree

Posted on January 4, 2012 by rosehillnursery

Robert took home these Lime Trees last season and has gotten great results.

All citrus tree varieties have a great success rate in the north and northeast U.S. The best way to grow citrus in the north is to keep the tree planted in a container. In the warm months the citrus tree will thrive outdoors. Once the temperatures start to drop below 40F bring the tree inside your home or patio and make sure it can receive at least 8 hours of direct sunlight. If the direct sunlight is not possible you can use growing lights as a supplement.

A History of Rose Hill Nurseries

Posted on October 7, 2011 by rosehillnursery

Barbara Davis, the City of New Rochelle Historian, wrote a wonderful article on Henry A. Siebrecht and his Rose Hill Nurseries in New Rochelle, NY.

Siebrecht earned the informal title as the “Father of Fifth Avenue.” His neighbors and customers included such notables as Russell Sage, Andrew Carnegie, J. Pierpont Morgan, General Ulysses Grant, P.T. Barnum and Boss Tweed. Many became lifelong clients and friends.

In 1923 Siebrecht dismantled his renowned nurseries, reestablishing a fraction of them in Boynton, Florida. In the late 1920’s a former employee of Rose Hill Nurseries purchased the name for his own enterprise. Today, his grandson Henry Camardella III is the third generation to own and operate Rose Hill Nurseries at 975 Webster Avenue.

If you want to learn more about the history of the Rose Hill Nurseries, stop by and visit with Henry, he will be happy to answer any questions.
