Witch-hazel - Common - Sale Price: $64.25 The Common Witch-Hazel, Hamamelis virginiana, is extraordinary in its flowering habits. It flowers in late October to early December. Many times its slender yellow petals are the only signs of color in the dormant woods. Witch-hazel is pollinated by the winter moth. After pollination, the fruits become dormant for the winter, developing over the following growing season and maturing in the fall, 10-12 months after pollination. Seeds are dispersed by gravity, or are eaten and excreted by birds. Witch-hazel seeds germinate the following spring or enter the seed bank. Early growth is slow, and in fact remains slow throughout the life of the tree in its typical shady habitat. As individuals, witch-hazel probably does not live more than 100 years, but they reproduce from root sprouts, and clones may live for a very long time.

Barberry - Golden Carpet - Sale Price: $51.35 Barberry - Golden Carpet, Berberis thunbergii 'Golden Carpet', is characterized by a dense prostrate habit and its yellow foliage; branches are slender, spiny, and small. Its leaves are roundly oval and bright yellow in color. The small pale pink flowers bloom beneath the leaves, from April to May, and are not showy. Bright red berries can be found along stems of this barberry from late fall through winter and are borne singly or in clusters of 2-4 fruits at each node; tear-drop shaped fruit can provide fall and early winter interest. Plant in any soil in a sunny or partially shaded position, but preferably sunny for best fruit and autumn color. The foliage color continues throughout the summer season when grown in full sun; when grown in partial or full shade, the color of the foliage of Golden Carpet tends to be yellow-green or green. Golden Carpet is a dwarf shrub that brightens up containers on the patio, or in the landscape as an accent plant. Zones 5-8 Bright Yellow Dwarf Plant

Sumac - Fragrant - Sale Price: $57.05 The Fragrant Sumac, Rhus aromatica, is a small shrub, most commonly encountered on limestone uplands, occasionally on acidic sites. It occasionally reaches tree size. Fragrant sumac is a pioneer species, establishing rapidly from seed after heavy disturbance, particularly fire. Like other sumacs, it forms clonal clumps, but not as extensively as the other species. Fragrant sumac is a short-lived pioneer, which reproduces from seed or clonally via root suckers. Seed production is moderately abundant, and seeds are dispersed by birds. Lifespan is about 20-30 years, though clones can live substantially longer. Fruit is important as winter bird food. This is an important deer browsing species. The fruits, steeped in cool water, yield a refreshing drink, like lemonade. Native Americans used the bark of all sumacs as an astringent, and leaves and bark can be used for tanning leather, due to the high tannin content.
