Cascade Falls Bald Cypress
Cascade Falls Bald Cypress A Conifer of Unusual Appearance Cascade Falls Bald Cypress is a long-lived conifer with an unusual appearance. It would draw attention planted in your small garden or along a retaining wall where it could “flow” over the stone. Neighbors may gaze at the beauty of your summer yard as they pass by, but they will stop and ask questions about Cascade Falls. Cascade Falls is a weeping form of the much larger Bald Cypress. Branches grow out from the trunk and plunge downward in an arch to trail upon the ground. Bright green needles line the branches, turning brown in the autumn before falling to the ground. You won’t notice the flowers and fruit of the Cascade Falls because they’re rather inconspicuous, but you will notice the birds and butterflies that come to visit because of them. The Cascade Falls allows for your own personal creativity. You can decide how you want this conifer to look, making it a unique one-of-a-kind statement for your garden. Stake it and allow it to grow up to 20 feet tall with an 8 foot spread. Leave it un-staked and it will form an uncommon ground cover. Nothing draws attention to a yard like the unusual, and Cascade Falls is certainly a rare and unusual find among conifers. Choose this one-of-a-kind conifer for your one-of-a kind garden today. * Unusual appearance* Long-lived* Adaptable to pruning

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. This deciduous tree is also known as Tortuosa or Dragon's Claw Willow. The main ornamental feature of this plant is the contorted and twisted branches and twigs. Branches arise from the trunk at an acute angle and grow up almost parallel to the trunk before they curve back to the horizontal. The winter branch pattern is most interesting and accounts for the popularity of Corkscrew Willow trees! Corkscrew Willow trees tolerate any soil, especially wet soils with poor drainage. These are fast growing trees with narrow light green leaves. Like most willows, Corkscrew will grow most vigorously in moist, cool soil and temperate climates! * Upright habit * Contorted branches * Fast growing |
| Bald Cypress - Sale Price: $96.35 An extremely long living, fast growing, stately tree. The Bald Cypress (Taxodium distichum) looks like an evergreen, but is actually deciduous so it drops its foliage in the fall, hence the name “bald”. It is a lofty, deciduous conifer with a slender, pyramidal habit. Its mature height is 50-75 feet and it grows a rapid 2.5 feet a year. The Bald Cypress is best known for growing in wet areas but it is easily adaptable to dry areas and city conditions. It is an exceptionally long living tree. The oldest known Bald Cypress is over 1,600 years old and is located in North Carolina. It’s a wonderful choice if you want a tree that will be around for generations to come. The needle-like leaves are a radiant green in the spring and summer. The foliage is almost fern-like giving the tree a graceful appearance. In the fall your Bald Cypress will turn a beautiful cinnamon-red color. Its gently swaying foliage is sure to be an attention getter. Finally, in the winter the interest is found in the bark. The Bald Cypress has a copper-brown bark that peels off in long strips, yet another distinctive and unique characteristic of this wonderful tree. * Fast Growing* Long life expectancy* Low maintenance |
| White 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 |
| 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. |
| Weeping Willow - Niobe - Sale Price: $99.95 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 |
