Serviceberry - Shadblow
Hardy Ornamental with Edible Fruit The Serviceberry is a popular ornamental shrub prized for its spring/fall color and sweet summer berries.  It would look great in your naturalized garden or in front of some larger plantings to highlight its form and colors Your Serviceberry will be one of the first plants you notice in the spring.  While the rest of your plants are still slumbering, the Serviceberry will burst forth in color.  Before its leaves even begin to appear, its 5-peteled clusters of white flowers will stand in sharp contrast to the browns and greys of your transitioning landscape.  You’ll enjoy watching the flowers give way to the small green berries as they progress from green to red, and eventually transform into a deep purple.  The dark gems are ready to enjoy straight from the bush in the early summer.  The Serviceberry is a shrubby, multi-stemmed plant that grows up to 15-25 feet with an equal spread.  It’s tolerant of a wide range of soils so you won’t have to fuss over it in order for it to thrive.  3-inch dark green leaves fill out your tree, softly fuzzy at first and later glossy and smooth.  Those same leaves will turn a delightful reddish-orange in the fall.  Serviceberries look like large, dark blueberries and taste similar, but with an almond-like accent.  They are commonly eaten raw or used in various jams and pies. The Serviceberry is a hardy ornamental shrub with a lot to offer. * Ornamental, colorful shrub* Edible fruit* Hardy

Mugho Pine - Pumilo - DetailsMugho Pine - Pumilo - Sale Price: $39.95
Mugho Pine - Pumilo, Pinus mugo 'Pumilio', is a popular dwarf conifer that is rugged, hardy and has dark green needles on dense branches; makes an ideal choice for xeriscaping or for the moisture-conserving landscape. Pumilo is a useful slow growing evergreen for rock gardens, mass plantings and in groupings; a great container plant too. In order for it to maintain its excellent form, texture, and color detail in the garden, this Dwarf Mugo Pine needs full sun and prefers dry to average moisture levels with very well-drained soil. It will die in standing water. Prune candles to keep tight and maintain a dense habit of growth. It tends to fill out right to the ground so doesn't necessarily require facer plants in front. Mugho Pine is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. This is a rather low maintenance shrub and if pruning is necessary, it is recommended to only trim back the new growth of the current season, other than to remove any dieback. Mugho Pine grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions, can be expected to live for 50 years or more. * Evergreen! * Long-Lived! * Low maintenance!
