Skyline Honeylocust The Skyline Honeylocust, 'Gleditsia trianthos inermis Skyline, is a great lawn tree and street tree that is useful for the light shade it casts. The tree provides filtered shade due the small leaves which permits turf to grow beneath the canopy. This 50 - 60' tall tree has a compact spreading habit and produces a stronger trunk than most honeylocust trees. It produces few seeds and has very fine-textured foliage that turns yellow in fall. The Imperial Honeylocust is very drought tolerant. This tree also has some resistance to deer. The Skyline tolerates heat and drought and does well in compacted soil and city conditions. They are tolerant of salt, pollution and for best results, plant in full sunlight. * Drought Tolerant * Filtered Shade * Fall Color

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.

| Weeping Willow - Niobe - Sale Price: $99.95 Also known as the Niobe Gold Weeping Willow. A choice selection for colder climates, this imposing tree has a wide, spreading canopy of pendulous, swaying branches and decorative golden bark that is quite extraordinary. The Niobe Weeping Willow’s early-appearing leaves are slim, lance-shaped and fresh yellow-green, turning a bright golden-yellow in the fall. A superb specimen near water (or at least in a moist area), in full sun (or some shade) with plenty of elbow room. This is a large, fast-growing tree, so plan accordingly.

| Nuttall Oak - Sale Price: $85.65 The Nuttall Oak tree, Quercus nuttallii, was not distinguished as a species until 1927. It is also called red oak, Red River oak, and pin oak. It is one of the few commercially important species found on poorly drained clay flats and low bottoms of the Gulf Coastal Plain and north in the Mississippi and Red River Valleys. The acorn or winter buds identify Nuttall oak, easily confused with pin oak (Q. palustris). The lumber is often cut and sold as red oak. In addition to producing timber, Nuttall oak is an important species for wildlife management because of heavy annual mast production. Nuttall Oak trees are a good choice for low poorly drained locations. During winter, squirrels find a ready supply of acorns, since many acorns remain on the tree into January. Acorns are favored by deer and also eaten by turkeys. |
