Box 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

Black Walnut - Sale Price: $24.95 Large Shade Tree with Edible Nuts The Black Walnut is a large deciduous tree that produces edible nuts.  It would do great as a shade tree on a side lawn or at the edge of a property line.   Your Black Walnut is a majestic landscape tree growing up to 100 feet tall with an equal spread.  Its upright, spreading branches will put you in mind of strength and endurance as you sit beneath its protection from the sun’s harmful rays.   Black Walnut trees have 24 inch long pinnate leaves that will fill your tree out nicely through the summer months.  Large and vibrantly green, they will also emit a pleasing scent when crushed in your hand.  Those fragrant leaves will continue to put on a show in the fall when they are one of the first trees to turn a pleasant yellow color before dropping in preparation for their winter rest.   Black walnuts mature in the fall.

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 leaves of Post Oak trees are usually 4 to 5 inches long, and they are thick and somewhat leathery.  They are dark green and shiny on the upper surface and lighter green and rough hairy beneath.  The leaves turn to a golden color in the fall. 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

Native American Plum - Sale Price: $57.05 The Native American Plum tree, ‘Prunus americana’, is also known as the Native Plum, Hedge Plum, Sloe or Wild Plum. Native American Plum trees are small, deciduous, single trunk trees or a multi-stemmed shrub which occurs in rocky or sandy soils in woodlands, pastures, abandoned farms, streams and hedgerows. This deciduous tree typically grows to 15-25' tall with a broad, spreading crown. As a shrub, it suckers freely and can form large colonies. The 2 to 5 inch white flowers appear in early spring before the foliage appears. Flowers are followed by edible, round, red plums with bright yellow pulp which ripen in early summer. This species is usually grown for ornamental value and not for fruit production, however. Although the plums can be eaten raw, the quality is somewhat poor. The fruits are perhaps better used for preserves and jellies. The leaves turn yellow to red in autumn for great fall color. Branches and twigs are an attractive dark reddish-brown. Wildlife is attracted to the sweet fruits. Ours are sold as a multi-stem shrub form. * Fall Color * Attracts Wildlife * Early Spring Flowers
