Flame Willow
The Flame Willow, Salix 'flame', gets its name from the stems that turn red in late fall and lasts until early spring.  It grows multi-stemmed, more like a shrub, unless trained otherwise. The Flame Willow is very hardy and responds well to pruning; can be pruned or left to grow in its natural form. Grow in full sun to part shade with ample moisture; tolerates a wide range of soils; when planted in wet well, drained soils, the Flame willow is a fast grower. Plant this willow as a specimen or in a line along a border.  It grows fast and can also be planted as a privacy screen where the fall color will remain fabulous! Both in summer and winter the branches retain their orange red glow.  For a great showing of the bright new stems, you can cut them back to almost ground level before they come out of dormancy in the spring! * Hardy * Brightly colored stems * Fast grower

Satomi Dogwood - DetailsSatomi Dogwood - Sale Price: $37.95
Unique Dogwood with Spring and Fall Interest The Satomi Dogwood is an outstanding ornamental for spring color and fall interest.  It would look terrific in the center of a garden bed with lower plants to compliment it.  It could also stand alone in your front yard as a focal point to draw the eye.  This is a great choice for your yard as the spring blooms come a bit later in the season.  When your other spring-blooming plants are beginning to fade, your Dogwood will just be getting started.  This extension of your yard’s spring glory will begin with clusters of 4-peteled delicate pink flowers that stand out amid the landscape plantings.  As the blooms fade, the pointed, ovate leaves become prominent giving your Dogwood a lush green appearance for the summer months.  As fall approaches you’ll see your Dogwood’s foliage change to a deep red that will certainly stand out amid the usual lighter red hues. Satomi dogwoods grow to around 25 feet in height with an equal spread.  The multi-stemmed growth is horizontally-inclined, creating a lovely symmetry and low canopy.  The bark is grey and peeling which will draw your eye during the winter months.   In addition to the ornamental qualities of your Satomi Dogwood, you’ll enjoy the large, raspberry-like berries.  Birds will flock to your yard to enjoy a treat from your Dogwood, but you can also sample them for a unique, natural snack.  While not as tasty as other berries, the Dogwood berry is sometimes enjoyed primarily for its juice.   Satomi Dogwood has a lot to offer as an ornamental planting.  Year-round interest and even edible fruit for humans and wildlife make this an outstanding choice for your landscape. * Late spring display* Autumn color* Edible fruit

American Hornbeam - DetailsAmerican 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.
