Arborvitae - Green Giant
Highest Rated Fast Growing Evergreen The Green Giant (Thuja Plicata x Standishii) has become one of the most desired conifers for a multitude of reasons. With a growth rate of 3-5 feet a year this one of the fastest growing variety of Arborvitae.  Cloaked in thick, soft, dark green foliage from top to bottom the Green Giant is a better choice than hemlock in the North and cypress in the South. Arborvitae is Latin for “tree of life”, which attests to the hardy nature of this evergreen tree.  It often grows from a single leader, so you won’t have to worry about it surviving ice storms or heavy snow.  Birds love it, but most insects don’t, and deer won’t even touch it.  It grows well in most soils, and even during dry periods it’s incredibly fast-growing.   As its common name implies, this is a “giant” Arborvitae, growing up to 60 feet high with a 20 foot spread.  The sprays of foliage begin at the base of the Arborvitae and extend slightly upward along the entire tree.  The vibrant green coloring stays true all year, not even fading during the cold winter months. The aroma is like none other … imagine something between cedar, fresh lemons and air-dried cotton sheets.     Although stunning in rows, the Green Giant can also be planted alone as a sentinel in your yard or plant them in groups to form a living frame highlighting a special part of your landscape.  They’re also a beautiful living wall shielding you from unwanted views, noise and wind. Arborvitaes are often considered a particularly ecological plant because they give back to the environment.  Parts of the Arborvitae have historically been used for medicinal purposes.  It has proven to be a beneficial plant for generations, and will certainly be beneficial to you in fulfilling your landscape needs. * Fast-growing* Large Arborvitae variety* Hardy

Dwarf Alberta Spruce - DetailsDwarf Alberta Spruce - Sale Price: $39.95
The Dwarf Alberta Spruce, Picea glauca 'Conica', is a miniature Spruce with bright green foliage that is densely branched, slow growing tree that retains a perfect conical shape without trimming. The Dwarf Alberta Spruce is a small, cone- shaped tree that grows very slowly (2 to 4 inches per year) and rarely needs pruning. Its dense, bright green foliage makes it attractive. It is primarily a specimen plant and is often used as a container plant. It does need protection from the winter sun in exposed sites in zone 4. If planted farther south, summer heat and humidity are not to its liking, so try to locate it where it gets some afternoon shade but otherwise good light. The north or east side of the house is probably the best location. Make sure it's planted in a fertile, well-drained soil that is not allowed to get too dry during the summer. This is an excellent plant for adding structure, color and texture to your yard or garden. And if you have a small area, try this one in containers for that special place in your garden or patio.

American Hornbeam - DetailsAmerican Hornbeam - Sale Price: $34.95
‘Caroliniana’ is a healthier eastern-states cousin from the birch family, lacking the insect and disease problems that plague the species at large. Here is a pleasing small-to-medium tree with fresh green summer foliage and a show of yellow to either orange or fire-engine red come fall. When mature, the shape can range from rounded to a broader, elliptical form. Its biggest benefit is its surprising shade tolerance — it will thrive, even under the canopy of other trees — but will be happiest in partial shade. ‘Caroliniana’ likes wet feet (though it can tolerate a semi-dry spot) and is partial to a slightly acid-to-neutral soil pH. If you live near a wooded area, you can count on attracting a variety of desirable game birds (wild turkey, pheasant, ruffled grouse), which will seek out the seeds and buds. Perfect as a windbreak because of its supreme resistance to splitting, and just grand-looking when planted as a grove. Zones 4-8.
