Crape Myrtle - Purple
Purple Blooms All Summer Long The Crape Myrtle is a deciduous shrub that provides delightful purple color all summer long.  Plant one in your ornamental bed or anywhere you’d enjoy enduring color. The best feature of the Crape Myrtle is certainly the impressive purple display it enacts each year.  Beginning in early summer and continuing into the fall, your Crape Myrtle will dazzle you with its purple blossoms that appear in large clusters at the tips of its branches.  Hummingbirds, dragonflies and butterflies will love your yard, but you won’t have to worry about deer having the same interest.  When the crepe-like flowers fall, the brown capsules of the fruit remain, providing another decorative feature of the plant.   Crape Myrtle grows 10-20 feet in height with an 8-10 feet spread.  It won’t give you any trouble if you chose to prune it to a small shape, and it’s drought tolerant and quite hardy.  You’ll love how the Crape Myrtle seems to be always awash in color.  Even the leaves start out as a charming bronze in the spring.  They then transition into a verdant green that endures throughout the summer months.  When fall arrives your Myrtle will once again immerse itself in color as its leaves transform into brilliant reds and yellows.   The Crape Myrtle has something to offer whatever the season, and it will certainly offer you enjoyment for years to come. * Year round color* Hardy

Red Maple - October Glory - DetailsRed Maple - October Glory - Sale Price: $54.95
Fast-Growing with Long-Lasting Color This Red Maple (Acer rubrum October Glory) is known for its rapid growth and enduring fall color. In fact, its “October Glory” display of orange-red leaves lasts far longer than many other Maples.  For several weeks you will be treated to one of the most vibrant displays of any tree in your neighborhood. It would look spectacular in your yard as a central focus, or equally at home near other plantings due to its narrow, upward growth. October Glory is one of the most popular Maples for many reasons.  Tiny spots of fiery red flower clusters appear on the bare branches in the spring while the rest of your yard is still muted in browns and greys.  The birds will flock to the small, elongated red fruits that accompany the flowers.  Glossy green leaves will appear next, some slightly tinted with a reddish hue.  As summer progresses, your Maple will grow 2 feet or more, achieving an oval-rounded form for optimal shade. The October Glory can reach heights of 50' tall and 40' wide.  It’s far more tolerant of some soil and weather conditions than other Maples, and forgiving of a neglectful nature.  For a carefree, rapid-growth Maple of vibrant color you can’t do better than the October Glory. * Long lasting fall color* rapid growth* hardy

Shagbark Hickory - DetailsShagbark Hickory - Sale Price: $78.50
The Shagbark Hickory tree, ‘Carya ovata’, has a distinctive, shaggy bark, conspicuous on tall straight trees, which gives this species its name. It grows well in both wet and dry areas, but prefers well-drained soils. Shellbark hickory trees are also called shagbark hickory, bigleaf shagbark hickory, kingnut, big shellbark, bottom shellbark, thick shellbark, and western shellbark, which attest to some of its characteristics. It is a slow-growing long-lived tree. The nuts, largest of all hickory nuts, are sweet and edible. Wildlife and people harvest most of them; those remaining produce seedling trees readily. The wood is hard, heavy, strong, and very flexible, making it a favored wood for tool handles. The wood also makes excellent firewood, and often is used in smoking meat. As with other edible nuts, squirrels compete with humans for this fruit. Its bold-textured, jagged branch structure and thick twigs give it a striking appearance in winter. This deciduous shade tree has a yellow fall color. * Nut Tree * Long-Lived * Conspicuous Bark

American Sycamore - DetailsAmerican Sycamore - Sale Price: $99.95
Massive, Fast-Growing Shade Tree The American Sycamore (Platanus occidentalis) is one of the largest and oldest North American native trees.  Its exceptionally rapid growth and immense size makes it an excellent choice as a central focal point in your yard or perhaps as a border tree.  It’s tolerant of air pollution, so this tree would even thrive on a city lot. Sycamores can be massive, growing to over 100 feet tall and with a crown of 70 feet in diameter.  They have the largest diameter of any American hardwood, in some cases growing over 10 feet.  This spectacular tree’s symmetrical canopy will provide you with a cool spot to sit through those hot summer days in a fraction of the time other shade trees require.     The white bark of the Sycamore tends to peel off in places, creating a unique mottled look that is sure to draw attention to your yard in any season.  Many people consider them self-pruning as you will rarely see the unsightly dead branches common to the canopies of other landscape trees.  The unneeded wood from your Sycamore will even make excellent mulch for your flower beds. Native Americans used Sycamores for many medicinal purposes, and the seed balls are prized by crafters today.  The Sycamore decorates itself for winter with 1 inch brown spiky balls hanging from 3-6 inch “threads”.  These seed balls will appear all over your tree.  In the spring they will fall to the ground, ready to be made into holiday ornaments, wreaths, bird feeders…whatever your imagination can create. With an expected age of 250 years or more, planting a Sycamore is like leaving a legacy for the generations to come. * Fast-Growing* Massive size* Long lived* Decorative seed pods
