a nurseryman at work
The nurseryman at the nursery where I bought these plants told me to keep them in the shade and water them lightly.
Every nurseryman needs a retailer or wholesaler license to grow and sell plants and saplings, and must follow the gardening regulations, including not growing the prohibited species of plants and trees.
More and more retired or laid-off employees are becoming nurserymen and women so that they can stay at their nurseries, often converting their homes into small nurseries, and grow the plants they like the best and sell them to their former colleagues and associates.
