Hazelnut - Sale Price: $71.35 Attractive Shrub with Edible Nuts The Hazelnut is a lovely shrub that will provide edible nuts in the fall and be a friend to wildlife year round.  Plant some as a hedgerow along your property boarder, or plant several in a naturalized area where they’ll be able to spread.   The Hazelnut is a remarkable plant.  It can grow almost anywhere and achieve its mature size in no time at all.  It won’t mind if you prune it at any time of the year, so you can trim and mold it to whatever shape or space you prefer.  It grows to 12 feet tall with a 15 foot spread, so you don’t need much space in your yard to enjoy a Hazelnut, and wildlife will thank you for providing them with one of their favorite plants. In the spring, 3-inch clusters of male catkins appear, their yellow-brown tassels gently swaying in the warm breeze.  If you look close you’ll discover the female flower.  It’s a tiny purple surprise hidden among the branches.  Dark green, heart-shaped, 3-6 inch serrated leaves will soon fill out your Hazelnut for summer. When fall arrives, your Hazelnut colors will vary, from oranges and yellows to the color of a deep red wine. In late summer/early fall you’ll begin to notice actual Hazelnuts (also called filberts).  Clusters of ½ inch green leafy capsules will appear throughout the bush, eventually turning brown. When ripe, gently pop off the brown husk and your ready for a treat.  Raw or roasted, the Hazelnut is an outstanding nut.  It’s sweet in flavor and although having a variety of uses, is often used in desserts.  It’s rich in fiber, vitamins and minerals with the added benefit of being gluten-free for those who are sensitive.  The oil is often used in medications and also in aromatherapy. For a hardy shrub with a variety of appeal, you can’t go wrong with a Hazelnut. * Attractive shrub* Edible nuts* Attracts wildlife

Aristocrat Flowering Pear - Sale Price: $114.25 The Aristocrat Flowering Pear tree, Pyrus calleryana 'Aristocrat', is a beautiful tree that is attractive in all four seasons.

Leaves turn a deep to reddish-purple in mid to late fall to provide spectacular fall color.  The clean winter outline is upright to pyramidal when young and becomes broadly oval at maturity. Aristocrat Flowering Pear trees have a more dominant trunk and open form that helps this deciduous, flowering species, to be less susceptible to wind damage. Home owners and landscapers place this tree in prominent locations because of the year around beauty it provides. It is tolerant to a wide range of soil pH’s.

Sawtooth Oak - Sale Price: $85.65 The Sawtooth Oak tree, Quercus acutissima, is a wide spreading shade or lawn tree.

It is a highly prized oak for wildlife enthusiasts because of the short time it takes for the tree to produce acorns. Sawtooth Oak trees have moderate water requirements and it has a moderate tolerance to salt and alkali soils. The leaves go from yellow to golden brown in the fall, and open to a brilliant golden yellow in the spring. Its growth rate is rapid for an oak tree, and it is a fast growing shade tree.

Lacebark Elm - Sale Price: $96.35 The Lacebark Elm tree, Ulmus parvifolia, is a superb tree for urban conditions and should be widely considered for use as a street tree. This deciduous shade tree is a very hardy, tough tree that is capable of withstanding the rigors of harsh climates, poor soils and streetscape situations. The species is known for quick growth, particularly if planted in fertile, well drained soils. The dark green, oval leaves of the lacebark elm vary from 3/4 to 2 1/2 inches in length. Most lacebark elms lose their leaves late in the fall. Fall leaf color is variable, but some yellowish to reddish purple is possible even in warmer climates. The bark of this elm is perhaps its finest feature. The grey bark begins to exfoliate or peel off in small patches as the trunk matures resulting in an interesting combination of mottled colors beneath, including green, gray, orange and brown. * Tolerates Poor Soil * Shade Tree * Fast Growing
