It looks to be an average to light crop of Beach
Grass this year. Many areas of the Northeast experienced drought conditions
that can effect overall harvest numbers. However on Cape Cod we had a late summer storm that
dumped inches of much needed rain. We therefore advise our customers not to wait to put in your
beachgrass orders.
The bare root / dormant beach grass season is winding down. We ship bare root between November and the first week of April. Unfortunately many people wait until the last minute to place their order. We always encourage folks to place your orders early.
