Widely adapted and tolerant of damp soils, our US native Pawpaw has been under-used as a landscape tree but is attracting substantial attention. This genus is the exclusive food plant for native Zebra Swallowtail butterfly larvae in the East. Nodding purple flowers are unlike those of any other American tree - curious with their three-lobes, pollinated by flies. The perishable fruits have a memorably delicious taste, are nutritious, and resemble the tropical mango. Bold leaves turn a pleasing yellow in autumn. Our seedlings are greenhouse-grown in root-pruning containers for excellent transplant success.

A prolific bloomer, its stout stems ensure that the flowers don't droop. Although the coarse leaves give it an almost tropical appearance, the autumn leaf colors are a rich mix of red, burnt orange, and green. When the notably persistent foliage drops, the tan/brown exfoliating bark is a pleasing unexpected bonus.

A choice shrub, rare in the wholesale trade because it is so very compact, no more than 3 feet in twenty years, producing almost no cuttings. Large, snow-white flowers and deep green foliage which turns brilliant red in autumn.

Essentially the tree form of witchhazel. It naturally becomes a low-branched tree, typically two-thirds as broad as it is tall.

Maroon spring flowers are small, easily missed but attractive, rewarding the curious.

Half of normal size, spreading to 4 ft., this clone is well-suited for textural contrast in a perennial border.

A Rutgers selection with huge white flowers, foliage resistant to the leaf diseases that plague seedling flowering dogwoods. Here in Oregon, our stock plants flower for a month starting in early to mid-May. Its exceptional vigor can result in too-leggy growth, even with routine fertilizer use. Manage nitrogen application conservatively.

Due to its multi-season appeal, this multi-stemmed tree, introduced from China only in 1980, is finally starting to gain followers. Covered with large clusters of white flowers in mid summer, in late summer and fall it displays great masses of pink-red seeds. Finally, the winter season highlights its shaggy bark - the color of soft beach sand. It does require shaping to highlight its normally "stemmy" form - a central leader formed early helps to make it a highly marketable tree, but it cannot be reshaped if neglected when small.

Male pollinator: no fruit. Order at least one pollinator for every 10 female plants of fruiting cultivars.

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.

A hybrid of M. japonica and M. lomariifolia. Beautiful across all seasons for its architecturally bold and symmetrical form. Bright yellow late winter flowers. Here in the wet-winter Pacific Northwest, our 'Charity' stock block is totally free of leaf spot that infects M. bealei so severely.

A small vase-shaped tree, the wintertime red and pink bark on young branches are its best features. As with most reddish barked maples, in cool moist areas it suffers from blight if it is fertilized too late in spring. Moreover, as the tree ages, its coral bark appeal diminishes. Since it is so popular, grow it for its youthful appeal, but offer your clients a few improved versions of this long-time classic.

Among the largest of dogwoods, its best landscape merits are expressed in the Pacific Northwest. Excellent fall color, may repeat bloom. In mild winter areas, it is used as rootstock for exceptionally vigorous C. kousa hybrids.

Even the large winter flower buds are ornamentally appealing with their distinctively thick protective covering of brownish gray "fur" to shield them from the cold. In full bloom, this short plant is un-rivaled for attractiveness because the blooms are so up easy to see up close.

The late August Kehr of Hendersonville, NC considered this his finest magnolia hybrid, and we whole-heartedly agree. Upright in form, the blooms are delightfully fragrant. It has two significant attributes. First, it blooms much later than M. x soulangiana (6 weeks) so the flowers seldom freeze. Second, the rich pink flowers have a crisp, translucent character to them that makes a dramatic contrast to the duller pink blooms of M. x soulangiana selections. These plants are quite a prize.

A vigorous tree of uniform, pyramidal habit, having light yellow frost-tolerant flowers. Even without its flowers, it is worth growing for its handsome, bronze new foliage. A choice plant, too-little known and used.

One of the earliest-introduced yellow-hued magnolias, flowering precociously and reliably every year. 'Elizabeth' enjoys excellent name recognition. Well-known for its fragrant, creamy yellow flowers, pyramidal habit, and vigorous juvenile growth. M. acuminata x M. denudata

Deep purple/red flowers, blooming before 'Betty'. A vigorous, dependable, and easily grown stocky shrub.

In our judgment, the best, the most striking of white-variegated upright Japanese Maples. A big plus: almost no reversion to green but you receive them from us they will grow vigorously and it is fairly standard for them to be all green. In the years to come, when they settle down into slower growth and they will display the standard white and pink variegation.Though it is not a good choice for the deep South where the heat seems to keep the variegation permanently away. From a distance, the small green, white and pink variegated leaves have an ethereal effect. This conversation item is just perfect to showcase a shady spot in the garden, eventually reaching 16 ft. tall. No surprise here; its a Great Plant Picks selection.
