May is here, and with it comes one of the best windows of the entire year to get your garden, landscape, or outdoor project off the ground. At Maple Leaf Farms NJ, we’re fully stocked and ready to help you make the most of the season. Whether you’re looking to create privacy, add color, grow your own fruit, or just freshen up your property, this is the month to plant.

Why May? The soil is warm, the weather is stable, and plants have time to establish roots before the heat of summer kicks in. Whether you're a homeowner, contractor, or landscape professional, now is the time to load up and get it done.

🌳 What’s Moving Fast This Month?

Privacy Trees & EvergreensIf you’re looking for instant screening or natural fencing, now is the time to plant. We’re stocked with top-quality evergreens including:

  • Emerald Green Arborvitae

  • Green Giant Arborvitae

  • Nigra Arborvitae

  • American Holly and Dragon Lady Holly

  • Skip Laurels, Steeds Holly, and Boxwoods in multiple forms

  • Spartan Junipers, Taylor Junipers, and Columnar selections

Most of these are available in multiple sizes and price points, and they’re moving fast. Planting now allows these evergreens to root in before summer stress sets in. Come early for the best selection and fullness.
