Weeping Cherry
Weeping Cherry Fast-Growing Outstanding Ornamental The Weeping Cherry is a spectacular, fast-growing tree of uncommon beauty. It’s small enough to fit neatly into almost any spot in your yard. Wherever you put it though, it’s sure to become a focal point of attention for its unique, year-round characteristics. The Weeping Cherry grows 20-30 feet tall with a 20-25 foot spread. You’ll find that it’s very easy to grow and tolerant of many conditions other trees would balk at. It’s a popular ornamental, chosen for its manner of downward growth that seems to gently cascade toward the earth from a central crown. When spring arrives, you’ll be astonished by the Weeping Cherry’s stunning display as a multitude of flowers seem to spill forth. Your neighbors will share in the show as a deluge of delicate pink raindrops seem to flood over the tree’s sides in a downrush of exquisite natural beauty. When the flowers have passed, the 3-inch lance-shaped leaves will be revealed, displaying a glossy dark green color that will maintain their verdant intensity all summer long. The fall brings even more color as yellow to red leaves adorn your tree. Look closely to see tiny ebony fruit that is inconspicuous to you but the wildlife will definitely take notice of. As impressive as the spring, summer and fall appearance of your tree is, some people find they appreciate the winter most. During the winter months your tree will truly stand out amid the other landscape plantings as the bare branches trail to the ground seeming to weep at the loss of the summer sun. The Weeping Cherry is highly prized by homeowners, and it’s easy to see why. With such outstanding qualities, hardy temperament and fast-growing nature the Weeping Cherry is a must-have for any landscape. * Outstanding ornamental qualities* Fast-growing* Hardy

Star Magnolia - Sale Price: $78.50 The Star Magnolia, ‘Magnolia stellata’ is a beautiful flowering magnolia. If your yard isn’t big enough or your climate isn’t warm enough for the Southern Magnolia, choose the Star. It’s one of the smallest magnolias. The Star is a very slow-growing perennial shrub or small tree native to Japan. In early spring, it will give you an unparalleled show of star-shaped white flowers, often with a pale pink stripe running down the inner petals. From a distance, it looks like a bouquet of baby’s breath, but with 3”-4” flowers — an amazing sight. In the fall, the foliage turns an interesting yellow-bronze. The delicately-fragranced flowers can be injured by late spring frosts, so plant it in a protected area, preferably with northern exposure. The Star Magnolia prefers organic, acidic soil and full sun, and is not as susceptible to magnolia scale as other varieties. Use as a single specimen, border background or a foundation planting. Zones 4-8. White Flowers Fall color Fragrant |
| Dawn Redwood - Sale Price: $78.50 Fast-Growing Massive Tree The Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) is a massive, fast-growing tree. It would look great as a shade tree in your yard or as a street planting. It would also look attractive as a container plant on your patio while it’s still small. The Dawn Redwood is the shortest of the Redwoods, but can still grow up to 200 feet in height. It can be quite easy to grow, so you won’t have to spend much of your time on care or maintenance. Despite its massive size, the Dawn Redwood has a gentleness about it. Run the foliage through your fingers. You’ll experience its soft and fern-like texture, so unlike what you might expect from a large deciduous tree. The foliage begins as light green in the spring, transforming to deep green in the summer. The leaves turn a lovely reddish-bronze before their autumn descent in preparation for a winter rest. The Redwood has horizontal branching that continues all the way to the ground, affording it a stately pyramidal presence in your yard. If you prefer ground clearance though, it adapts well to being trimmed a bit. The Redwood is an ancient tree known to have been in existence as long as 50 million years ago, but is currently on the endangered list in the wild. Growing a Dawn Redwood is a pleasure in and of itself, but growing one on your property is also an investment in the future. * Fast growing* Massive size* Hardy |

| Double Flowering Plum - Tree Form - Sale Price: $122.75 The Double Flowering plum, ‘Prunus triloba’ is grown in tree form. This large shrub has been trained to a head, forming at two to three feet on a single stem. A familiar sight across the northeast quadrant of the U.S in May, the Double Flowering Plum (or Rose Tree of China), puts on quite a show with its gorgeous double candy-pink flowers blanketing each branch with fat pom-poms of color. It tends toward a round shape, is a robust grower and easily rivals the annual display of Washington cherry blossoms in northern areas. From a distance, a stand of these trees looks like a pink cotton cloud; few spring-blooming trees get the reaction that this one does. The foliage is more of a grass-green than dark green, and turns to an attractive yellow-bronze color in the fall. The Double Flowering Plum can take a lot of abuse in terms of soil condition, but it does need good sun, good drainage and ample room to perform at its best. Zones 3-8. |
