Cascade Falls Bald Cypress - Sale Price: $96.35 A Conifer of Unusual Appearance Cascade Falls Bald Cypress is a long-lived conifer with an unusual appearance.  It would draw attention planted in your small garden or along a retaining wall where it could “flow” over the stone. Neighbors may gaze at the beauty of your summer yard as they pass by, but they will stop and ask questions about Cascade Falls.  Cascade Falls is a weeping form of the much larger Bald Cypress.  Branches grow out from the trunk and plunge downward in an arch to trail upon the ground.  Bright green needles line the branches, turning brown in the autumn before falling to the ground.  You won’t notice the flowers and fruit of the Cascade Falls because they’re rather inconspicuous, but you will notice the birds and butterflies that come to visit because of them. The Cascade Falls allows for your own personal creativity.  You can decide how you want this conifer to look, making it a unique one-of-a-kind statement for your garden.  Stake it and allow it to grow up to 20 feet tall with an 8 foot spread.  Leave it un-staked and it will form an uncommon ground cover.   Nothing draws attention to a yard like the unusual, and Cascade Falls is certainly a rare and unusual find among conifers.  Choose this one-of-a-kind conifer for your one-of-a kind garden today. * Unusual appearance* Long-lived* Adaptable to pruning

Texana Nuttall Oak - Sale Price: $59.95 The Texana Nuttall Oak tree, Quercus texana, also known as Spanish oak, Nuttall's oak, Texas red oak, Spotted Oak, Rock oak, and red river oak, is a large deciduous native tree of the red oak group. The Texana Nuttail tree has a wide-spreading, rounded crown. Fruits are oval acorns (to 1 1/2 long) with scaly cups. Dark green leaves (4-8 long) are deeply divided into 5-7 spiny, pointed lobes. Leaf shape is reminiscent of the closely related pin oaks and schumard oaks. Fall color comes late, but often includes quality shades of red. Species name is in reference to the state of Texas where this oak was apparently first identified. The popularity and demand for this oak species is driven by its fast growth rate, ease of care and planting, fall color, and its ability to thrive in wet soils. Texana has gray-brown bark, initially thin and smooth, and later develops narrow scaly ridges. The acorn matures in two seasons. The acorns are eaten by water fowl, turkey, squirrel, deer, and many small mammals. The wood is used as red oak lumber. * Wildlife tree * Fast growing * Accepts wet soils

Dawn Redwood - Sale Price: $78.50 Fast-Growing Massive Tree The Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) is a massive, fast-growing tree.  It would look great as a shade tree in your yard or as a street planting.  It would also look attractive as a container plant on your patio while it’s still small. The Dawn Redwood is the shortest of the Redwoods, but can still grow up to 200 feet in height.    It can be quite easy to grow, so you won’t have to spend much of your time on care or maintenance. Despite its massive size, the Dawn Redwood has a gentleness about it.  Run the foliage through your fingers.  You’ll experience its soft and fern-like texture, so unlike what you might expect from a large deciduous tree.  The foliage begins as light green in the spring, transforming to deep green in the summer.  The leaves turn a lovely reddish-bronze before their autumn descent in preparation for a winter rest. The Redwood has horizontal branching that continues all the way to the ground, affording it a stately pyramidal presence in your yard.  If you prefer ground clearance though, it adapts well to being trimmed a bit.   The Redwood is an ancient tree known to have been in existence as long as 50 million years ago, but is currently on the endangered list in the wild.  Growing a Dawn Redwood is a pleasure in and of itself, but growing one on your property is also an investment in the future. * Fast growing* Massive size* Hardy

Arborvitae - Emerald - Sale Price: $64.95 Fast-Growing Privacy Hedge or Accent Plant The Emerald Green Thuja (Thuja occidentalis ‘Smaragd’) is a fast-growing, hardy arborvitae.  It would make a superb privacy hedge along your property line or beside your backyard pool.  These also make an excellent wind-break or foundation plant. “Smaragd” is Danish for “emerald”, which perfectly describes the color of this pyramid-shaped conifer.  You’ll be amazed how its dense-growing, soft-to-the touch foliage remains a vibrant emerald green all year round.   Once established, you won’t have to even water this fast-growing cedar.  You’ll see a foot of growth each year that will only slow when it’s around 15 feet in height.  Pruning isn’t necessary either.  Even when it reaches its maximum 25 feet tall and 8 foot wide dimensions, this Thuja will maintain the tight growing habit. If you decide to trim your Thuja, save a few sprigs to place around the house.  The citrus-like evergreen scent will lend a fresh bouquet to the ambience of your home, especially during the holidays.  Holiday wreaths made from the Thuja boughs are a favorite of many people. After only one season with your Thuja you’ll see why this cultivar of arborvitae is becoming one of the most sought after landscape plants.     * Fast-growing privacy hedge* Hardy* Scented

Silver Maple - Sale Price: $85.65 Fast-Growing Ornamental Tree with Silver Accents The Silver Maple is a fast-growing ornamental tree that is very popular in the United States.  It would look great planted in a row along your street or driveway, or in a place easily viewed from a window so you can enjoy its natural beauty year round. One of the most common trees in the US, the Silver Maple reaches a height of 80 feet with a 50 foot spread.  Its crown has a rounded open form, which will provide a lovely silhouette behind the other plantings in your landscape.  It’s a very adaptable deciduous tree, so you won’t have to worry about fussing over it once it’s established.   While it has several admirable features, the Silver Maple is prized by many for its leaves.  Imagine the typical Maple leaf shape, but with deeply cut lobes and a silvery underside.  The effect of the silver coloring is striking, and will set your Maple apart from the other trees in your yard. Early spring will bring small panicles of flowers.  A short time later you’ll note the seeds as they form what appears to be a pair of wings that often take flight to float gently to the ground.  An added treat will be the wildlife you can watch as they’re drawn to your Maple to enjoy the seeds, which are the largest of any native Maple. Autumn will cloak your Maple in lovely amber hues, calling a close to the warm summer season.  In late winter you can collect some sap to use as a sweetener or some people like to use the seeds in breads and other culinary dishes. The Silver Maple is a tree of uncommon beauty and with a variety of uses.  It would certainly be a beautiful addition to your home. * Fast-growing* Silvery hued leaves* Hardy
