Maple - Compact Amur Maple
The Compact Amur Maple, Acer ginnala 'Compactum', has a dense, compact, shrubby form, and it is multi-stemmed. The dark green leaves are three lobed with a long, pointed central lobe, and Amur's foliage is more delicate than the larger shrub.  It displays a fantastic fall color that ranges from orange to red. The fragrant clusters of small, pale yellow flowers in spring are not particularly noticeable. The double samara fruit turns from green to brown in mid-summer. Compact Amur Maple makes an excellent hedge or individual specimen shrub, and the hedge can be sheared and maintained at 3 to 4 feet. This Amur Maple requires a well-drained soil, and it will tolerate shade, but develops a better fall color if grown in full sun. It is reasonably drought tolerant. * Fall Color * Hedge Plant * Fragrant

Rhododendron - Vulcan's Flame - DetailsRhododendron - Vulcan's Flame - Sale Price: $106.95
The Rhododendron 'Vulcan's Flame', 'Rhododendron 'Vulcans Flame’ is a vigorous, easy to grow plant with a broad, rounded habit. The fiery red flowers appear against the dark green foliage in late spring. It matures to 5 feet tall and 6 feet wide. Rhododendrons are shallow rooting so they require regular watering during the summer or during hot spells. To create a full, well-shaped shrub, pinch-off the new growth for the first few years. Vulcan’s Flame is an easy care rhododendron that needs excellent drainage, mulching and a peat moss soil additive. Roots will rot in poorly drained soil, so well-drained soil is a must! Established plants can benefit from fertilization. The Vulcan is heat and sun tolerant. An ideal location in colder zones is an area with filtered shade and some winter protection. If you want a red flowering rhododendron, this one is it!

The Swamp Chestnut Oak tree, Quercus michauxii, is known also as a Basket Oak for the baskets made from its wood, and Cow Oak because cows eat the acorns! One of the important timber trees of the South, it grows on moist and wet loamy soils of bottom lands, along streams and borders of swamps.  The high quality wood is used in all kinds of construction and for implements.  The acorns are sweet and serve as food for wildlife. Swamp Chestnut Oak trees are well-formed and become quite large (80 feet tall) with a narrow crown.  Swamp Chestnut Oak strongly prefers soils that are moist, permanently moist, or permanently wet, and tolerates standing water (as in periodically inundated floodplains) for several weeks at a time. Good seed crops occur at intervals of 3-5 years with poor to fair production in between.  Swamp Chestnut Oak trees are deciduous and have leaves that vary from four to eight inches in length and are downy beneath. Making a good shade tree, Swamp Chestnut Oak also offers rich crimson colors in the fall! * Important timber tree * Produces acorns * Good shade tree
