Eastern White Pine
The Eastern White Pine, Pinus Strobus, is a beautiful landscape pine extensively used throughout much of North America.  This evergreen conifer tree is a truly magnificent tree attaining a height of 80 feet at maturity with a diameter of two to three feet! It carries long, soft bluish green needles with large brown cones.  Eastern White Pine grows rapidly for a pine tree and is pyramidal shaped when young, becoming umbrella-shaped with age. This pine takes six to eight years to produce a six-foot tree on good sites.  It grows best in full sun or partial shade and in ordinary soil; can tolerate wet, swampy areas.  When planting, space 6 ft. apart for screening purposes.  Eastern White Pine trees are widely used as a screen or windbreak, are long-lived and vigorous. The Eastern White Pine is easily controlled, and it is good for small properties as well as field plantings.  This beautiful tree is also widely used as Christmas trees! * Pyramidal shape * Bluish green needles * Long lived

Box Elder Maple - DetailsBox Elder Maple - Sale Price: $99.95
The Box Elder Maple tree, Acer negundo, is also commonly known as Ashleaf maple, Manitoba maple, Box-elder maple, and Western box-elder.  This deciduous maple tree is a small-to-medium-sized tree, reaching heights of 50 to 75 feet, with a trunk diameter up to 4 feet.  The trunk is relatively short and tapering, and the crown is spreading and bushy.  It is more often seen as a smaller tree with cane-like, bright green branches. Box Elder trees are fast growing and tolerate poor conditions. Although it grows best on moist soils, box-elder is drought and cold resistant.  It can also tolerate flooding for extended periods (up to a month). The bark is smooth on young trees and then as it gets older the bark develops narrow ridges; mature trees have dark brown bark.  These shade trees have brittle wood.  Boxelder bugs eat seeds on female trees.  The seeds are also a source of food for birds and mammals, and are important because they stay on the tree through winter, when other food resources are scarce! * Fast growing * Tolerates flooding * Food for wildlife

Fast-Growing Shade Tree with Ornamental Features  The American Linden is a large, fast-growing shade tree.  It will be a happy addition to your yard with its tall, stately presence.  As a hardy shade tree, you’ll also enjoy its cooling proximity during those hot summer months.  It grows to 95 feet in height with a spread of 45 feet, substantial enough for a large landscape, but not too big for a more diminutive yard.   Its superior use as a shade tree is clear not only in its stature but also in the large, heart shaped leaves that give a full effect to its spreading branches.    Beyond its shade and strength, your Linden tree will also provide some added color to your landscape.  You’ll soon come to associate spring with the clusters of aromatic yellow flowers that grace its branches.  As summer progresses you’ll enjoy watching woody, pea-sized seeds form.  Their light green shade provides a slight variation in color throughout your tree for the late summer.  When autumn appears, your Linden’s leaves will take a dramatic step as green leaves transform to brilliant yellow, sure to be seen from miles around.   The American Linden, also called the Basswood tree, starts out pyramidal in shape but becomes rounded at maturity.  Its benefits go far beyond its ornamental features.  The wood is valued for its light but strong nature and is suitable for a wide variety of uses.  Parts of the tree have medicinal uses, and some consider the honey from Linden flowers to be some of the best available.   The American Linden tree is an excellent choice for almost any yard, and would certainly be a strong and useful sentinel next to your house for years to come.   * Hardy shade tree * Spring and fall color * Wildlife appeal
