Flame Amur Maple
Small Maple with Spring and Fall Appeal This is a small Maple tree with lovely spring flowers and a showy fall display.  It would look spectacular planted along the street in front of your home or even as a container or patio tree. One of the great things about this small deciduous Maple is that you can grow it as a small tree or even a shrub.  There’s no need for a lot of room in order to have this tree grace your home, and it doesn’t demand any special care or concern. It rises 15-20 feet with a spread of 15-28 feet and a lovely rounded crown.  The Amur’s charmingly fragrant scent heralds the spring each year, and you’ll adore the clusters of dainty white/pale yellow flowers scattered among its branches.  The 3 inch leaves consisting of 3 lobes provide your tree with a vibrant bright green color throughout the summer.  There’s  no doubt that you’ll feel your anticipation rise as autumn approaches and your Amur spices up your yard with stunning shades of scarlet.  The seeds are a samara that begin with a reddish hue and turns a light tan.  They appear as seeds with tiny wings that enchant the viewer with their gentle manner of helicoptering along on the autumn breeze.  The Royal Horticultural Society in the UK has bestowed the “Award of Garden Merit” on this variety of Maple. When you give one a home you’re sure to agree that the Flame Amur is one of the best Maples available on the market today. * Hardy small Maple* Spring and fall appeal

American Holly - DetailsAmerican Holly - Sale Price: $24.95
Traditional Holly with Striking Evergreen Foliage The American Holly (Ilex opaca) also called the White Holly or Christmas Holly, is the most familiar holly.  It is a small tree or shrub with striking evergreen foliage. The American Holly is easy to identify. It has thick, smooth, dark green, spiny leaves that are a yellowish green underneath. Unlike some hollies, the American Holly keeps its foliage from top to bottom for the life of the tree. Great for a privacy hedge and noise barrier, but its natural pyramidal shape also makes it a perfect ornamental tree for any yard. Because it does well in shade it is also a wonderful choice as an understory tree. This means if you’d like to fill in gaps between larger trees in your yard the American Holly can be planted under them. The flowers of the American Holly appear from April to June. Bundles of small white flowers are a beautiful contrast to the deep shiny foliage.  They are a delicate reminder in spring of the berries that will follow. The berries grow on your holly from September to November. The berries start out green, and then mature to a brilliant red. The American Holly will keep its dazzling display of deep red berries against emerald foliage through the winter.  You will love having fresh holly branches to decorate your house during the winter months, but you will also be doing a great service for the small animals and birds in your neighborhood. During the winter the American Holly is an important source of food for the birds, and provides a safe haven for shelter and nests in its thick foliage. The American Holly needs minimal watering and can grow in nearly any soil including hard clay. You will enjoy its dense green foliage all year. * Resists mildew, insects and disease* Drought resistant* Easily pruned.

Holly - Jim Dandy - DetailsHolly - Jim Dandy - Sale Price: $42.75
The Holly Jim Dandy, Ilex verticillata 'Jim Dandy', is a hardy shrub and is considered to be much hardier than others Ilex varieties. It is adaptable to different soil conditions, and is even drought tolerant once established. The Jim Dandy produces showy, deep green leaves. Although technically an evergreen shrub, the Jim Dandy does loose a majority of its leaves in cooler zones. Holly shrubs are often grown for their showy, red berries in the winter, but keep in mind that only female plants produce the berries (and their must be a male cultivar present). The Jim Dandy is a male cultivar that is a great pollinizer for female cultivars such as the 'Red Sprite' and 'Berry Heavy.' With a plant height of 3-6' and a width of 4-5', it makes a great for borders or screens. The Jim Dandy is tolerant of poorly drained soils and it is deer resistant. Want Berries?
