American Elm - Sale Price: $92.75  Fast Growing, Long Lived Tree The American Elm is a large deciduous tree. It would make an impressive street or shade tree for your front yard. The American Elm is the largest Elm in the United States. It can reach 130 feet in height and has an elegant vase shape with a broad, rounded crown. It’s fast-growing so you won’t have to wait as long as with some other trees for your shade tree to mature. The American Elm is also long-lived, with some reported being as old as 300 years. Think of the legacy you will provide for your children and grandchildren by planting an Elm in the yard! Your American Elm provides ornamental interest for every season The six inch deciduous leaves are ovate shaped with toothed edges, their dark green color a vibrant addition to the summer surroundings. Small green flowers form in spring, and although you’re not likely to notice them, the bees, butterflies and other pollinators of your yard certainly will. As the leaves begin to form, the flowers will turn from their subtle beauty to the Elm seed. Single, and surrounded by a flat, oval paper-like membrane, the seeds provide beneficial sustenance for birds and small mammals. In the fall, your American Elm’s foliage transforms to a pleasing yellow. Even in the coldest of seasons, when most trees provide little of interest, the dark grey and deeply furrowed bark of your Elm will present a pleasing feature for the winter landscape. The American Elm is a hardy tree tolerant of drought and urban conditions. It won’t cost you a lot of time or effort to maintain, and will provide many years of shade and beauty for your yard. * Fast-growing* Long-lived* Hardy

Ash - Mancana - Sale Price: $85.65 Ash - Mancana, Fraxinus mandshurica 'Mancana', has become popular and trendy. It is not large and spreading like many other ash trees, but has upward arching branches. It is ideal for smaller yards, parking strips, or an area where there isn’t much room for a canopy. This is an extremely hardy seedless ash that is a medium sized shade tree with a tightly rounded, almost lollipop shape; develops into a broad oval form. The branches are strong and stout and can shrug off the heaviest snows and most ice storms. 'Mancana' Ash is a bright green color and presents a cool, refreshing look during the summer months. It puts on a fantastic show in the fall when the leaves turn an intense chrome yellow. The leaves will drop in unison so you only have to rake them once! After the leaves have fallen, you can enjoy the new wood since it displays its yellow color all through the winter. Manchurian Ash is adaptable to many soil and climate conditions and is easily transplanted. The 'Mancana' Ash has no pest problems and tolerates poor, dry, or wet soils. With full sun, good soil, and ample water, it can grow about 2 to 3 feet a year. This is a low maintenance tree, and should only be pruned in summer after the leaves have fully developed.

Cedar - Fastigiata - Sale Price: $56.95 The Cedar Fastigiata, Cedrus atlantica 'Fastigiata', is an upright formed evergreen conifer with blue-green needles.  It is a narrow, columnar selection with a mature width of only 10'.  With this interesting and picturesque habit, it works well as a specimen or lawn tree.  In optimum conditions, this pyramidal tree can reach up to 40’ tall and 10' wide.  Placed in a good site, this can tree can grow up to 2 feet a year! This cedar prefers moist, deep soils, but is tolerant of dry, sandy soils and does best in full sun.  Fastigiata is tolerant of pollution and urban conditions so makes a great tree for city parks. It may get considerable needle burn and injury during cold winters or when sited poorly in windy locations.  Severely winter burned trees generally recover well if established. With its excellent and strong ascending branching habit, Fastigiata is a fantastic choice when something is needed for a very narrow area! * Blue needles * Columnar form * Pollution tolerant

Shagbark Hickory - Sale Price: $78.50 The Shagbark Hickory tree, ‘Carya ovata’, has a distinctive, shaggy bark, conspicuous on tall straight trees, which gives this species its name. It grows well in both wet and dry areas, but prefers well-drained soils. Shellbark hickory trees are also called shagbark hickory, bigleaf shagbark hickory, kingnut, big shellbark, bottom shellbark, thick shellbark, and western shellbark, which attest to some of its characteristics. It is a slow-growing long-lived tree. The nuts, largest of all hickory nuts, are sweet and edible. Wildlife and people harvest most of them; those remaining produce seedling trees readily. The wood is hard, heavy, strong, and very flexible, making it a favored wood for tool handles. The wood also makes excellent firewood, and often is used in smoking meat. As with other edible nuts, squirrels compete with humans for this fruit. Its bold-textured, jagged branch structure and thick twigs give it a striking appearance in winter. This deciduous shade tree has a yellow fall color. * Nut Tree * Long-Lived * Conspicuous Bark
