Scarlet Oak - Sale Price: $64.25 The Oak, Scarlet, Quercus coccinea, is often planted as an ornamental tree, popular for its bright red fall color, and is a great shade tree.

It is a large rapid-growing tree of the Eastern United States found on a variety of soils in mixed forests, especially light sandy and gravelly upland ridges and slopes. This oak tree has leaves, which to the untrained eye, may resemble the pin oaks. Scarlet Oak's acorns are 1/2 to 1 inch long, with a scaled cap covering 1/2 of the nut. Scarlet oak seedlings develop a strong taproot with relatively few lateral roots. It prefers part shade to full sun and adapts to a variety of soil.

Princeton Sentry Ginkgo - Sale Price: $133.85  A ‘Living Fossil’ Tree in Your Own Yard The Princeton Sentry Ginkgo is a deciduous conifer with unique foliage.  It would look great planted along your street, as a shade tree in your backyard or as a specimen tree in front.   The Princeton Sentry Ginkgo grows up to 50 feet in an upright manner that tends to be narrow rather than spreading. Even if you don’t have much space, it’s worth it to fit in at least one Ginkgo.  The one-of-a-kind leaves are actually shaped like a fan with an almost leathery texture that will tempt you to reach out and touch them every time you walk by.  In the autumn your Ginkgo’s leaves will turn a blazing yellow that shimmers in the morning and late afternoon sunlight.  The Ginkgo tree is often called a “living fossil” as it’s similar to fossils found from millions of years ago.  It has been widely cultivated and used medicinally as well as for its edible features.  In some parts of the world it’s even considered sacred.   The Princeton Sentry Ginkgo is a tree worth having for many reasons.  When you plant a Ginkgo you not only get an appealing landscape tree, but also a conversation piece for friends and neighbors.  Having a Ginkgo means not only possessing a tree, but also a “living fossil” with a rich and fascinating history.    * Unique foliage * Fall color * Fascinating history

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
