Lavender Twist Weeping Redbud (PP10328) - Sale Price: $142.75 Spring and Fall Color on a Small Weeping Variety This is an adorable small tree with amazing spring and fall color.

The Weeping Redbud will reach a height of 4-10 feet with an equal spread, packing a lot of interest into a small garden plant.  Your Redbud will explode in the spring with lovely little clusters of pink to lavender flowers along its bare branches. The weeping nature of this Redbud, gives you an impression of cascading flowers pouring over the crest of the tree.  You’ll be amazed how quickly hummingbirds and butterflies will flock to its fragrant branches…but never have to worry about deer doing the same.  As the season transitions into summer, your Redbud will further delight as its heart-shaped leaves appear with the slightest pink tint to their eventually dark green shade.  Those same leaves will offer up a lively yellow display on the Redbud’s arching, cascading branches when autumn arrives.  This is simply an endearing tree that offers so much in such a small package.  There’s always space for a Weeping Redbud in any landscape, and it will look terrific in yours as well. * Small, cascading tree* Spring and fall color

American 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.

Dawn Redwood - Sale Price: $78.50 Fast-Growing Massive Tree The Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) is a massive, fast-growing tree.  It would look great as a shade tree in your yard or as a street planting.  It would also look attractive as a container plant on your patio while it’s still small. The Dawn Redwood is the shortest of the Redwoods, but can still grow up to 200 feet in height.    It can be quite easy to grow, so you won’t have to spend much of your time on care or maintenance. Despite its massive size, the Dawn Redwood has a gentleness about it.  Run the foliage through your fingers.  You’ll experience its soft and fern-like texture, so unlike what you might expect from a large deciduous tree.  The foliage begins as light green in the spring, transforming to deep green in the summer.  The leaves turn a lovely reddish-bronze before their autumn descent in preparation for a winter rest. The Redwood has horizontal branching that continues all the way to the ground, affording it a stately pyramidal presence in your yard.  If you prefer ground clearance though, it adapts well to being trimmed a bit.   The Redwood is an ancient tree known to have been in existence as long as 50 million years ago, but is currently on the endangered list in the wild.  Growing a Dawn Redwood is a pleasure in and of itself, but growing one on your property is also an investment in the future. * Fast growing* Massive size* Hardy
