Shumard Oak
Shumard Oak Fast-Growing Shade Tree Shumard Oak is one of the fastest growing Red Oaks. It’s a deciduous shade tree loved by wildlife and would look great in a front or side yard to shield your home from the summer sun. It can reach 90 feet at maturity with a 60 foot spread, providing you with an outstanding shade tree in a fraction of the time that most Red Oaks would require. The 4-8 inches pointed, deep-lobed leaves are shiny and dark green, filling out the coarse, rounded crown. Planting a Shumard Oak provides you with an impressive shade tree, but the Shumard has even more to offer you. As your tree ages, 1-inch acorns will be an added benefit of your tree. You can sit back and watch the show as these acorns, particularly loved by wildlife, provide a meal for your nature neighbors. If you prefer to not share the harvest, simply remove the tannins from your acorns and they can be eaten raw or ground for use as a flour or coffee. As autumn approaches, your Shumard Oak will put on a brilliant show of reds and oranges to finish out the season. Long-lived and hardy, the Shumard Oak is an excellent choice for your landscape. It will provide you with years of shade, color and an edible harvest for your entire family to enjoy. * Fast-growing * Shade * Seasonal color * Edible fruit

| American 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. |
