Mildew resistant, shiny green leaves above, silver beneath. A recent introduction of exceptional hybrid vigor - great nursery plant. Dense, uniform pyramidal crown. This is a Q. robur x macrocarpa hybrid.

Handsome, glossy deep green foliage and a bold, upright, oval silhouette. Leaf undersides are white with dense, downy hairs, helping keep the leaf dry - a significant factor in its resistance to mildew, to which Columnar English oak is so susceptible. Q. robur var. fastigiata x Q. bicolor.

Stunning autumn color. Its flaming fall foliage rivals that of Sugar Maple. Thrives in rocky, dry areas where other trees languish. Larger leaves than C. coggygria and much taller in stature at maturity.

Soft needles, pleasing form, and kind of pre-historic in its overall appearance, Umbrella Pine is somewhat slow-growing, but always in demand from those suppliers who invest in liners annually and hold them for 4-5 years. Best if not crowded or planted in a wet spot, or simply "let go". This is an expensive plant to buy but a profitable one to sell if you're patient and want to offer something other than red maples, crabapples and honeylocust.

This male clone grows to 60 ft. tall but only half as wide. With its strong central leader, its form is more pyramidal than truly columnar.

Not really a dwarf, but a slow growing, intriguing upright variety. Excellent rock garden plant or focus plant for a water garden, given that it tolerates flooded roots.

Chief among its merits is strong mildew resistance, in contrast to columnar English oak, which often gets terribly infested with this leaf disease. Strongly columnar in outline, it's 4-5 times taller than wide in outline, significantly more columnar than the similar selection, Regal Prince®. Grafted onto vigorous Q. bicolor liners with mycorrhizal roots, these have excellent survivability without significant transplant shock. Q. robur var. fastigiata x bicolor.

Much less congested branch structure than seedlings or the varieties 'Fastigiata' & 'Frans Fontaine'. Observant nurseryman Lanny Rawdon of Arborvillage in Holt, MO reports that it's a robust grower back in the Midwest, with a strongly upright form as a young tree. One of the first specimen trees set out by the late Buddy Hubbuch at Bernheim Forest is distinctly pyramidal in winter branch structure. Clonal propagation assures its predictable landscape uniformity, and Lanny tells us it survived -35 F in the harsh winter of 1983. This is a really tough, handsome tree for any landscape in zones 5-8 and for potentially harsh landscape conditions in the Midwest.

A weeping Baldcypress selection that distinguishes itself by its leader growing straight up while the branches droop. Fall color is bronze, and the reddish brown bark peels in strips. Tolerates both wet and dry conditions. Much superior to 'Cascade Falls' because it has an upright tendency as opposed to the groundcover character of the former.

With all the great ornamental attributes of blackgum, including exceptional fall color and ease of care, this selection allows even more flexibility of location because of its columnar habit. Tupelo Tower™ was selected from a Zone 4 seedling population and is a full zone hardier than other available cultivars.

The small, prickly, holly-like leaves of 'Coconino' are silver-gray; the tree is hardy and fully evergreen in Zone 5B and below. At maturity, the grafted tree should be about 20 feet tall. The silver-gray leaves and the black fissured bark of 'Coconino' make it a striking subject as either a specimen planting or in a group. It is very representative of the mixed oak/pine forests of the upper Southwest, a lovely reminder of hikes and camping trips on the Mogollon Rim in northern Arizona. Will do well across the West because of its region-adapted rootstock which is tolerant to high pH soils and arid conditions.

For over 35 years Michael Yanny, Wisconsin, has been selecting and improving his native Musclewood. He started with a few trees that had some fall color and now he releases, with our help, the Wisconsin Red™ strain which has amazing fall color, so much so in fact, if you didn't know better you would suspect it was a different species. Raging reds, oranges and yellow autumn tones set this strain apart from normal seedlings and even his earlier work. Limited supply this year.
