Weeping Willow - Niobe
Weeping Willow - Niobe 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. Mature trees have some drought tolerance because the extensive root system can travel surprisingly long distances to get water, which is why you don’t want to plant it near septic systems and leaky sewer lines. Zones 2-9. Fall color Fast-Growing Gold Bark

| Sunburst Honeylocust - Sale Price: $107.05 Shade Tree with a Tropical Feel The Sunburst Honeylocust is a deciduous tree prized for its lovely foliage. They make lovely front yard specimens, and a few planted along the street would also draw attention. Your Sunburst Locust’s light green leaves and open canopy will create the charming effect of dappled sunlight in your yard rather than the full shade that more dense trees provide. It’s a way to have shade without the heavy, sometimes overwhelming presence of the larger trees such as Oaks or Redwoods. Your Locust is big without being too big and shady without being too shady for your grass and other plantings. Having a Sunburst Locust is a way for you to have all the benefits of a Locust tree without the two features many people dislike. By choosing a Sunburst Locust, you’ll be free of the thorns (that can be quite sharp), and the seed pods (that can be messy), that other Locusts have. Leaves of the Sunburst Locust are eight inches long and composed of many small, individual leaflets. This gives the foliage a tropical, fern-like appearance and will feel pleasantly soft and smooth as you run the leaves through your fingers. Leaves begin as yellow in the spring, transition to green and again turn yellow in the fall. Small green-yellow flowers form in the spring and into early summer, but aren’t very showy. Bees and other pollinators will love the Locust in your yard though, and make good use of those early blooms. The Sunburst Locust’s hardy nature means you won’t have to provide any special care to ensure its success. It can also grow up to 2 feet a year, so you won’t have to wait long for a mature tree to grace your yard. The Sunburst Locust is a lovely tree and a superior choice for your landscape. * Attractive foliage* No thorns or seed pods* Fast growing |
