Pink Flowering Dogwood
Small Ornamental Tree with Four Season Appeal The Pink Dogwood (Cornus florida rubra) is a small ornamental tree with four season appeal.  It would look great in your yard as an understory tree by a larger planting, or planted along a woods or border.  The Pink Dogwood is the state flower of North Carolina, and for good reason.  Every season will bring you something new to admire and enjoy.  Your Dogwood will begin to bloom when it’s only 4-6 feet tall so you won’t even have to wait.  It’s so anxious for summer that the 4-peteled pink blossoms will spring into life before the tree has even leafed out.  In the summer distinctive oval, curved leaves will appear.  Birds will flock to your tree for the tasty, glossy red berries later in the summer.  For autumn your Dogwood will drape itself in pinks and reds in a dazzling fall display.  Just when you think the show is over, winter will reveal the underappreciated characteristic of the Dogwood.  Heads will turn at the sight of the unusual bark as it’s fully exposed in all its uniquely mottled, rough glory. You might think that such a beautiful tree would require special care, but not so with the Pink Dogwood.  Your Dogwood will grow in almost any soil conditions and even tolerate other plants close by.  In fact, it even prefers a little shade.  The Dogwood can grow up to 30 feet with a 25 foot spread. It has horizontal growth on the lower half of the tree and upright branching on the top half, forming a round crown.  This unusual growth pattern produces a graceful, flowing shape that will naturally draws the eye to its unique form in your landscape.      The Pink Dogwood certainly has something to recommend it in every season, and it will look terrific in your yard year round.   * Spring and fall color* Winter appeal* Berries for wildlife* Hardy

White Oak - DetailsWhite Oak - Sale Price: $78.50
Magnificent Long-Lived Shade Tree The White Oak is an extraordinary deciduous tree known for its size and strength.  It would be outstanding as the preeminent shade tree in your yard. The White Oak is a magnificent native American tree that will provide a statuesque presence in your yard, as well as shade for your home and habitat for wildlife.   It’s a long-lived tree with some being documented at over 500 years old.   The White Oak reaches only around 85 feet in height, but standing in its presence one has the impression of being cared for and sheltered under its massive limbs that extend far out from its trunk.  In fact, it’s not uncommon for the White Oak to be wider than it is tall.  The branches grow in wide angles, forming an incredibly broad rounded crown.  The crown is rugged in appearance, again giving the impression of strength and stability.    The only softness in this tree comes in the spring when the leaves begin for form with a soft pink tint and fuzzy down that is soft to the touch.  You’ll note a unique silvery hue that gives the tree a unique silvery appearance.  To see one in the spring morning dew is to feel one has stepped into a fairy tale.   The White Oak’s 5 inch leaves turn red to purple in autumn, and 1 inch acorns tumble to the ground in October.  The acorns are a bit smaller than those of some other oaks, but are less bitter.  Native Americans used them as a food source and wildlife love them. This majestic tree is one of the best known hardwoods in N. America.  Its wood is very dense and strong so used extensively for various things including furniture and even some weapons.  In fact, the USS Constitution is made of white oak.   For a long-lived, strong and durable tree, the White Oak is the perfect choice. * Long-lived* Autumn color

Weeping Willow - DetailsWeeping Willow - Sale Price: $99.95
Enjoy This Fast Growing Romantic Shade Tree Everyone loves the familiar Weeping Willow (Salix babylonica). Its graceful, ground-sweeping branches are easily recognized by all. Best known for its romantic and magical appearance the Weeping Willow has so much more to offer. It is one of the fastest growing shade trees. With a growth rate of 8-10 feet a year it will quickly reach its mature height of 30-50 feet. It can be grown in most of the United States and adapts well in many soil conditions. The Weeping Willow loves water and is often planted near ponds to prevent erosion. There is no such thing as too much water for a Weeping Willow. If you have a spot in your yard that stays wet or collects water, the Weeping Willow will help dry it right up. While it loves water, the Weeping Willow can be grown just about anywhere as it does have some tolerance to drought. Spring comes early when you have a Weeping Willow; it’s one of the first trees to leaf out in the spring.  It’s also one of the last to lose its leaves in the fall. You will love its narrow, sage green leaves swaying in the breeze through the summer. In the fall you will be delighted by its golden yellow leaves. Plant the Weeping Willow in your yard to experience how this mystical tree has caught the attention of artists and storytellers for hundreds of years. *  Fast growing*  Adaptable*  Heat and Cold Hardy

Red Maple - October Glory - DetailsRed Maple - October Glory - Sale Price: $54.95
Fast-Growing with Long-Lasting Color This Red Maple (Acer rubrum October Glory) is known for its rapid growth and enduring fall color. In fact, its “October Glory” display of orange-red leaves lasts far longer than many other Maples.  For several weeks you will be treated to one of the most vibrant displays of any tree in your neighborhood. It would look spectacular in your yard as a central focus, or equally at home near other plantings due to its narrow, upward growth. October Glory is one of the most popular Maples for many reasons.  Tiny spots of fiery red flower clusters appear on the bare branches in the spring while the rest of your yard is still muted in browns and greys.  The birds will flock to the small, elongated red fruits that accompany the flowers.  Glossy green leaves will appear next, some slightly tinted with a reddish hue.  As summer progresses, your Maple will grow 2 feet or more, achieving an oval-rounded form for optimal shade. The October Glory can reach heights of 50' tall and 40' wide.  It’s far more tolerant of some soil and weather conditions than other Maples, and forgiving of a neglectful nature.  For a carefree, rapid-growth Maple of vibrant color you can’t do better than the October Glory. * Long lasting fall color* rapid growth* hardy
