Viburnum - Nannyberry
Viburnum - Nannyberry Nannyberry Viburnum, viburnum lentago, is a hardy, upright growing shrub with glossy green foliage that turns red-purple in fall. The creamy white flat-topped flower clusters mature into small blue-black fruit, which provide winter food for birds. Due to its mild suckering, it becomes more open at maturity, with arching branches. Nannyberry is a large tree-like leggy native shrub that can be pruned into a small tree form. This shrub is good for farmstead windbreaks or a screen plant with year-round interest. It prefers rich loam to clay loam soil with ample moisture. Nannyberry does well in either full sun or shade and is one of the more tolerant woody plants in shady sites. It grows 20 feet tall and 6-10 or more feet wide. Pruning is required to remove suckers if a tree form is desired. Viburnum tends to be multi-season plants with ornamental value throughout a large part of the season. * Hardy * Stunning color * Windbreak

They’ve been immortalized in poetry, literature and song for generations, and will certainly continue to be one of the most sought after plantings. Your Royalty Lilac is a particularly interesting variety as it has all of the outstanding features of Lilac shrubs, but with some added advantages. Your Royalty Lilac is a medium sized perennial shrub. It can grow to about 10 feet tall with an 8 foot spread. It’s compact and extremely hardy, including resistance to disease and deer. The dark green leaves are a bit coarser than some other Lilacs and create a particularly superior backdrop for the lighter lavender color of the flowers.

Perhaps most advantageous, your Royalty Lilac is a heavy bloomer that continues to bloom later into the summer than other Lilacs.

| 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. |
