Even when the flowers have faded and the fruit is not yet obvious, you’ll be surprised by the captivating sight a simple breeze drifting through its leaves creates.  The five inch long oblong leaves are dark green, but the surface is shiny.  Each leaf also has a delightful underside of sliver-white.  This combination creates a shimmering effect with the slightest movement and a unique bi-color appearance.   The Sweet Bay Magnolia is an ornamental tree with a lot to offer.  It would make a lovely addition to your landscape.   * Fast-growing * Spring-summer flowers * Attractive to wildlife

Corkscrew Willow - Sale Price: $61.35 The Corkscrew Willow tree, Salix matsudana, 'Tortuosa', is a small to medium-sized, upright spreading tree of about 30 feet in height with a 15-foot-spread.
