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

Sunburst Honeylocust - DetailsSunburst Honeylocust - Sale Price: $107.05
Shade Tree with a Tropical Feel The Sunburst Honeylocust is a deciduous tree prized for its lovely foliage. They make lovely front yard specimens, and a few planted along the street would also draw attention. Your Sunburst Locust’s light green leaves and open canopy will create the charming effect of dappled sunlight in your yard rather than the full shade that more dense trees provide. It’s a way to have shade without the heavy, sometimes overwhelming presence of the larger trees such as Oaks or Redwoods. Your Locust is big without being too big and shady without being too shady for your grass and other plantings. Having a Sunburst Locust is a way for you to have all the benefits of a Locust tree without the two features many people dislike. By choosing a Sunburst Locust, you’ll be free of the thorns (that can be quite sharp), and the seed pods (that can be messy), that other Locusts have. Leaves of the Sunburst Locust are eight inches long and composed of many small, individual leaflets. This gives the foliage a tropical, fern-like appearance and will feel pleasantly soft and smooth as you run the leaves through your fingers. Leaves begin as yellow in the spring, transition to green and again turn yellow in the fall. Small green-yellow flowers form in the spring and into early summer, but aren’t very showy. Bees and other pollinators will love the Locust in your yard though, and make good use of those early blooms. The Sunburst Locust’s hardy nature means you won’t have to provide any special care to ensure its success. It can also grow up to 2 feet a year, so you won’t have to wait long for a mature tree to grace your yard. The Sunburst Locust is a lovely tree and a superior choice for your landscape. * Attractive foliage* No thorns or seed pods* Fast growing
