Fresh Spruce Tops & Evergreen Boughs For Sale in the Minneapolis & St. Paul Metro

Starting in late October or early November, depending on weather, Wagners Garden Center offers Spruce tops. Cut from spruce in Northern Minnesota and Canada, they continue to re-grow year after year in the bog after being cut.

Our spruce tops come in 1ft., 2ft and 4ft lengths to accommodate any pot size needs: patio pots, window boxes or large pots and beds. Make sure to cut an inch off of the bottom of your tops before using them to remove the sap that quickly seals the ends and stops them from hydrating. It is a good idea to soak freshly cut stems overnight in a bucket of water before adding to your containers. We recommend using top soil since it is heavy enough to hold all greens. Sand is not suitable since it does not retain any moisture. Stick the spruce tops into the soil about 4-5 inches deep. Add a mixture of other evergreen boughs such as cedar, white pine, red pine or noble fir around them.

Dogwood, birch, or hydrangea stems from your garden or artificial berries make a great accent for your evergreen containers. Wagners offers a wide variety of accents for all of your winter planters. Make sure to water your winter containers until the soil freezes. It is always a fun idea to join one of our pot-making workshops and build your own with our help and in the comfort of the greenhouse. Or if you prefer, stop by and pick up a pre-made beautifully designed patio pot, window box, or hanging basket.

Fresh Evergreen Boughs for Sale

Make sure to give all greens a fresh cut before using.

This short-needled evergreen is very fragrant and tends to be more slender than the Fraser and Noble fir.  It does not retain needles as well but it adds body and texture to your pots. Good filler.

incense cedar Incense Cedar

Frequently used in arrangements as an accent because of the distinctive yellow pollen buds at the tips of the bough.

western cedarWestern Red Cedar

The most economical of the cedars with ling, flat, dark green pointed boughs.

Noted for its stiff, upright needles with a bluish tint.  The sturdiness of the bough makes it an ideal base or frame for your evergreen containers.

Also known as Western White Pine. Popular with designers because of the long, soft, blue-green needles. Makes a great skirt around the edge of you evergreen container.

Wreathes and Garlands

balsam-wreathWreathes and Garlands are primarily meant for use outdoors but can be used inside if stored outdoors until the day of use.  Since they are prone to drying out and dropping needles, periodic misting and protection from drafts will help prolong their life and beauty. Wilt Proof is a product that can be sprayed on to your greens to seal in the moisture. Wagners offers  balsam, cedar and mixed greens garland. Our Minnesota made balsam wreaths come in 5 different sizes decorated with a red bow and frosted pinecones. Our designer Oregon wreaths, door charms and swags will wow your Holiday guests right at the door. Don’t forget to pick up a fresh kissing ball for fun.
