Showy Mountain Ash - Sale Price: $121.35  Small Deciduous Tree with Ornamental Features The Showy Mountain Ash is a small, understory tree with ornamental features. Plant one as a specimen tree in your front yard, or use one as a small shade tree. Your Showy Mountain Ash is just that—showy! It grows to 30 feet in height with a 25 foot spread, and has an open, rounded crown. The leaves have a lovely, tropical appearance. The dark green leaves have grey green undersides which playfully flutter in the sunlight as it catches the contrasting shades. Spring brings six inch flat clusters of ¼-inch, five petaled flowers. The delicate, white blooms stand out like tiny white bridal bouquets amid the tree’s branches. When summer arrives, those flowers will have become orange-red fruit, providing a stunning accent to the green, tropical-look of the leaves. The berries appear in clusters on the tree, and will even persist well after the leaves have dropped for the season. Your Mountain Ash becomes more interesting with age. The smooth, grey bark of its youth will turn rough and scaly with age, giving your tree more definition and interest in the winter months after its leaves have gone. As your tree matures and its production increases, you’ll be able to experiment with the tiny berry-like fruit. They are very acidic raw, but birds and other animals love them. The fruit is also sometimes made into jelly, and parts of the tree have also been used medicinally. All in all, the Mountain Ash is a “showy” tree in any season and will be an asset for your landscape. * Spring flowers* Edible fruit* Unique foliage

Post Oak - Sale Price: $59.95 The Post Oak tree, Quercus stellata, is a small to medium-sized tree.  The bark of the Post Oak is similar to that of the White Oak, but somewhat darker and often fissured into scaly ridges.

The Post Oak is commonly associated with the oak called Blackjack Oak.  The Post Oak usually grows in dry, sandy to rocky soils.  The wood is hard and strong, and is very durable when in contact with soil. It is used mainly for posts, railroad ties, mine props, and sometimes as fuel.  In fact, the Post Oak sometimes is called the Box White Oak. It produces acorns that are 1/2 to 2/3 inches long and ovoid in shape.  These acorns mature in one year, ripening September to November. * Thick and leathery leaves * Golden fall color * Strong wood

Crape Myrtle - Purple - Sale Price: $32.95 Purple Blooms All Summer Long The Crape Myrtle is a deciduous shrub that provides delightful purple color all summer long.  Plant one in your ornamental bed or anywhere you’d enjoy enduring color. The best feature of the Crape Myrtle is certainly the impressive purple display it enacts each year.  Beginning in early summer and continuing into the fall, your Crape Myrtle will dazzle you with its purple blossoms that appear in large clusters at the tips of its branches.  Hummingbirds, dragonflies and butterflies will love your yard, but you won’t have to worry about deer having the same interest.  When the crepe-like flowers fall, the brown capsules of the fruit remain, providing another decorative feature of the plant.   Crape Myrtle grows 10-20 feet in height with an 8-10 feet spread.  It won’t give you any trouble if you chose to prune it to a small shape, and it’s drought tolerant and quite hardy.  You’ll love how the Crape Myrtle seems to be always awash in color.  Even the leaves start out as a charming bronze in the spring.  They then transition into a verdant green that endures throughout the summer months.  When fall arrives your Myrtle will once again immerse itself in color as its leaves transform into brilliant reds and yellows.   The Crape Myrtle has something to offer whatever the season, and it will certainly offer you enjoyment for years to come. * Year round color* Hardy

Hackberry - Sale Price: $64.25  Fast Growing Tree with Edible Fruit The Hackberry is a fast growing, deciduous tree that produces edible fruit. Plant one in your yard for its shade and seasonal interest, especially if you have a place where the soil is too poor for other trees. Your Hackberry can grow up to 60 feet with a 40-50 foot spread, so it’s quite an expansive shade tree for your yard. It has a cylindrical shape with 5-inch alternate, green leaves with undersides of a slightly yellow hue. Those leaves will turn completely yellow in autumn for a showy accent in your yard. Your Hackberry’s foliage arrives at the same time as the ¼-inch spring flowers, giving your tree a vivacious, lime-green appearance that will certainly draw your eye. Those flowers will eventually give way to 1/3-inch, deep-purple drupes that can persist on your tree into the winter months. The drupes have a somewhat date-like flavor and were traditionally used by Native Americans as a food source. Wildlife will also treasure the tiny fruits for the added nutrition they can provide, in addition to the shelter and nesting opportunities the tree presents. The Hackberry’s trunk has a corky appearance, offering some added decorative definition to the barren winter landscape. That wood can also be used for furniture or other projects (it’s soft but heavy). Hackberry trees are tolerant of most conditions, including wind and urban conditions. It’s a great way to have an impressive shade tree with ornamental appeal in less time than other large trees would require. The edible fruit sweetens the deal as a fun and useful addition to an already outstanding tree. * Fast-growing shade* Spring and fall color* Edible fruit* Wildlife interest
