It has been over two years now since we made the move to North Carolina! Over the past years, we have moved the nursery from Oregon to Florida, and finally to North Carolina. This facility is relatively small, but very functional, in that we do much of the growing, shipping, and local sales from here. Yes, we are open to the public, so ask if you think you will be in the area, and we can offer you directions to get here... Technically, HQ is still in Oregon, with most ordering other functionals activities there.

Shipping continues all season long for some items, but as the weather changes, shipping and order activity will greatly change. As Fall and Winter rolls around, most plants are shippable, but the seaonal factors favors the southern or warmer areas. During the Summer months shipping favors the northern states. Do ask if you have questions...

Yes... there is some old webpages out there with older information. Every webpage should have our North Carolina address, and our email address has always been (nursery @cdr3.com).

Why did we move from sunny south Florida? Firstly, it was the dollars. Shipping costs and the costs of operating are less. The center of our market area is here in North Carolina, putting us closer to you. If you look at the delivery map below, your orders will be able to get to you quicker. Transit times will vary, but generally a large portion of you folks are now within three transit-days. That reduces the ever-increasing shipping costs. And if the plants get to you faster, the better condition they will be, which makes everyone happy.

Along with the shipping and operation costs, our next major reason to move was the climate. Florida is great during the winter in some respects, but very challenging in the summer for other reasons. The warm winters made propagation and most outdoor activities easier, and the Spring through Fall high humidity was great for the plants. But we were greatly challenged trying to grow some of the northern trees in that climate, like Colorado Blue Spruce, Giant Sequoia, and Quaking Aspen. This North Carolina location has a good climte to grow most of the trees most of the time, but somewhat limiting during the winter months. The new greenhouse helps to control the climate for some of the trees and for propagation.

New products are another primary reason for the move. We can now cater more to the local markets with larger trees and potted plus maybe B&B items. We will be increasing our local presence as time goes on, and maybe offer local delivery. We are not a retail store... No, nothing even close, but we are locally active. We will sell direct, or come by to pick up your internet order. Appointments are always best and appreciated!

There are a number of other minor reasons for the move as well, yes, including the hurricanes...

Our Address is -
Empire National Nursery, LLC
6778 McPherson-Clay Road
Liberty, NC 27298

We are close to Greensboro (on the southeast side), about 12 miles south of Burlington, and less than an hour west of the Raliegh-Durham area. We like to say that our new location is between the Triad and Triangle areas. For local traffic, we are a bit challenging to find, but use a mapping program like GoogleMaps or MapQuest to get directions.

Retail and local traffic... Yes, we are set up for that in a limited capacity. If you are local, you can order on-line, then pick up your order yourself. Walk-in traffic by appointment... please. Most items are bareroot in the beds, so they would have to be lifted and prepared as bareroot. Please let us know if you are coming by so we can have your order ready for pick-up. Now there are some items potted, plus larger trees as well. The workload is heavy enough, but let us have some lead-time before visiting. Now this place will not be a "browse and shop" retail store... nothing like that at all. Deliveries are available but limited, and we can quote you for that.

We are excited about this North Carolina facility... and we hope that we can better serve your needs.
