Black Hills Spruce
The Black Hills Spruce, Picea Glauca Var. densata, is noted for its dark green foliage and conical form. Black Hills Spruce trees are very dense and have a deep dark green color. It is a truly cold adapted tree and is very resistant to winter injury. Black Hills Spruce prefers rich moist soil in full sun, and also thrives in dry, well-drained sites. The needles are short and soft to the touch. This evergreen conifer tree has a medium growth rate and requires little, if any, pruning. Deer dislike Black Hills Spruce. This tree is commonly used for windbreaks, privacy screens and accent plantings. It will reach a height of six feet in nine years on a good site. This spruce is a very long-lived species with a life span of 150 to 350 years!

Chestnut Oak - DetailsChestnut Oak - Sale Price: $64.25
The Chestnut Oak tree, Quercus prinus, is a medium-sized, native, deciduous tree. Chestnut Oak trees are also called Rock Oak, Rock Chestnut Oak, or Mountain Oak. It is long-lived and slow-growing rugged tree. The characteristic bark is dark and very rough. On older trees it typically is broken into long, V-shaped ridges that are separated by deep furrows. The tree grows on dry, rocky ridges and slopes. The wood is strong and durable, and mainly used for general construction and fuel. The bark has greater tannin content than most other oaks, and was extensively used in the leather tanning trade. The acorns are an important source of food for various forms of wildlife. The acorns are large, but do not appear until the tree is around 20 years old. The leaf undersides are medium green, rather than white. Autumn color is chartreuse to yellow-brown, but the canopy is cleaned of leaves by late autumn. Chestnut Oak is amazingly free of major pest and disease problems, a testament to superior genetics in all aspects of its growth cycle.

White Fringe Tree - DetailsWhite Fringe Tree - Sale Price: $78.50
Sometimes called Grancy Graybeard or Old Man’s Beard, a reference to the airy, drooping clusters of fringy vanilla flowers that appear each spring. This is a delightful maintenance-free shrub or small tree with an elegant, spreading-but-rounded habit. The spectacular, pleasantly-fragrant flowers give over to clusters of olive-like fruits which ripen to a dark navy blue in late summer, an event eagerly anticipated by local birds and wildlife. It’s a deciduous tree/shrub; the broad, long spear-shaped leaves turn yellow in autumn. White Fringetrees are easily grown in average, moist, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade; they are, however, not at all happy with city air pollution and prolonged dry spells. Plant Fringetrees in small sprays of three or four along woodland borders, or near streams or ponds; they also work well as a hedge, divider or as specimens. Zones 4-9. * White flowers * Fragrant * Wildlife Tree

False Cypress - Gracilis - DetailsFalse Cypress - Gracilis - Sale Price: $51.35
False Cypress - Gracilis, Chamaecyparis obtusa 'Gracilis', has a strong central leader and a distinctive and refined pyramidal form with whorled, flattened sprays of dark green foliage. A graceful addition to any home landscape, this small accent tree features finely-textured deep green foliage all season long. Gracilis adds an interest to the landscape with its slightly drooping branches. This slender Hinoki Cypress is one of the most acceptable for hedges and screens; not used simply for an exemplary specimen. This is a relatively low maintenance shrub. If any pruning is needed, it is recommended to trim back the new growth of the current season, and remove any dieback. Gracilis prefers full sun or very light shade, and well-drained soil. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments. The scale-like leaves do not develop any appreciable fall color. Zones 4-8. * Evergreen * Accent Tree * Low Maintenance Plant

Sunburst Honeylocust - DetailsSunburst 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  

Austrian Pine - DetailsAustrian Pine - Sale Price: $64.25
The Austrian Pine, Pinus nigra, is a densely branched tree producing long dark needles. This evergreen conifer tree thrives in urban locations as well as in windbreaks in more rural settings. It does well in a variety of soils and is very hardy. The spreading branches of a young tree form a pyramidal outline, but at maturity, it sometimes achieves a picturesque flat topped head. This fast growing pine tree makes an attractive Christmas tree when sheared. It will tolerate limestone or acidic soils, dry rocky locations and windy conditions. Austrian pines are good for thick screens or windbreaks. For screen, space 6 feet apart. When placed in a good site it should reach 5 ft. in height in 6-7 years starting with a 2 year old seedling. Great tree for screening because it is dense! * Salt tolerant * Tolerant of urban conditions * 4 to 6 inch long needles
