Wayne Mezitt of Weston Nurseries
Wayne Mezitt's talk was a greatly enjoyable combination discussion of Weston's history, introductions, and informal give and take.
Weston's historic development concepts focused on New England (Zone 5 or colder), improved flowering and foliage (particularly in winter), improved or compact habit. They sought to extend the season of interest or satisfy unfulfilled landscaping needs. Of course, they sought low maintenance and pest/disease resistance, and easy propagation and home grower friendliness.
