Autumn Brillianceâ„¢ Serviceberry
Autumn Brillianceâ„¢ Serviceberry Spectacular Fall Color and Edible Fruit The Autumn Brillancea is a popular ornamental shrub prized primarily for its fall color and succulent summer berries. It would look great as a shrub boarder in your yard or grown as a small tree. The Autumn Brillancea is a cultivar of the Apple Serviceberry. It’s a cross between the Downy and Allegheny. It’s prized particularly for its obovate 5-inch long leaves that turn to a spectacular reddish-orange in the fall. Your Serviceberry will be one of the first plants you notice in the spring. Before your other plants have awoken to the glory of the new season, the Serviceberry will already be bursting forth in its splendor. Before its leaves even begin to appear, its 5-peteled clusters of white flowers will stand in sharp contrast to the browns and greys of your transitioning landscape. Soon you’ll see the flowers give way to small green berries that gradually progress from green to red, and eventually transform into a deep purple. The fruit is ready for you to enjoy in the early summer. The Serviceberry is a shrubby, multi-stemmed plant that grows up to 15-25 feet with an equal spread. It’s tolerant of a wide range of soils so you won’t have to fuss over it in order for it to thrive. Serviceberries look like large, dark blueberries and taste similar, but with an almond-like accent. They are commonly eaten raw or used in various jams and pies. Native Americans and early settlers enjoyed these berries for generations. The berries were even thought by some to have medicinal properties. The Serviceberry is certainly a hardy ornamental shrub with a lot to offer. * Autumn color* Edible fruit* Hardy

| Pussy Willow - Black - Sale Price: $49.95 Pussy Willow - Black, Salix gracilistylus ‘Melanostachys’ is a quick growing shrub with flowers/catkins that form along the stems of the plant. The procession of black catkins resembling little black caterpillars can range from a half-inch to two inches in length, starting small early in the season, then lengthening and changing color as they mature. The female catkins stay flat black until well-expanded, but males will add a fine-textured, silky red to orange staminate haze. Black Pussy Willow will spread aggressively by underground roots and above ground suckers, but you can prune this plant pretty severely to keep it in check. The nearly toothless leaves on the upper surface are deep green, the lower a soft gray-green. The leaves often take on a tattered appearance by fall; tree will occasionally produce a yellow fall color display. Although it does not like standing water, the Black Pussy Willow does like to have water nearby. Planting it in full sun will help keep some of the fungal problems in check. It is quite tolerant of many soil types as well as moderate road salt and pollution exposure. The branches, along with the catkins, can make elegant and divine bouquets. |
