Upright form of a tough small tree that requires almost no care in return for its year-round appeal. Patchy bark, spring bronze-green foliage, exceptional month-after-month autumn color, and attractive winter branch structure put it into a class that almost approaches the perfection of Paperbark Maple and Stewartia. What it lacks in flower appeal is balanced by its extreme drought tolerance and overall tough character.

Flowers of exceptional size, 10 inches, and perfect form and purity - rounded, sumptuous tepals which are cupped just right. Buds are pinky-lavender and open to palest pink white. It's a stunner to be sure, around since the 70's.

Really large flowers, 8 inches plus, exterior of deep purple-pink and a lighter pink interior, open mid-season missing the early frosts. It is supposed to maintain a good leader though we can't be certain of this personally as we've cut our stock so hard to get this into production for you.

Mesa de Maya Southwest Oak™ has large blue-gray leaves which hold their color late into autumn. The foliage lacks most prickles and the tree, reaching 25 feet in height at maturity, will be a stunning contrast to most background colors. In the arid and drought-prone West and the Southwest it will thrive because of it region-adapted, high pH tolerant rootstock. This grafted form will grow with a single stem to 25 feet tall with a 20-foot spread. It could also be branched low and grown as a multi-stemmed tree, as is common to its wild sisters.

Gold Spire Ginkgo grows slowly but is dense and upright, only ¼ as wide as tall. A male selection, it has golden foliage in autumn as you would expect.

A hybrid of curious parentage, sieboldii x tripetala, found at Kew in the 40's. Its upward facing, white flowers of pleasant fragrance are borne in May and June with the large foliage.

‘Burgundy Lace’ is a unique hazelnut selection for the ornamental landscape tree market. It is the only European hazelnut (Corylus avellana) cultivar in the nursery trade that combines dissected leaves (the cutleaf trait), red leaf color and resistance to the Oregon strain of eastern filbert blight (EFB). The tree is moderately vigorous and has a desirable upright-spreading growth habit that should be easy to manage in a landscape setting.

The large, well-formed foliage is cast with a blue haze, very different than any other dogwood. Moderate sized creamy white flowers are starry and the bracts overlap halfway.

This is the first kousa released from the fabled Rutgers dogwood breeding program. It was selected it for its deep pink to fuchsia colored bracts. They almost glow from a distance. The bracts are pointed and do not overlap, developing an attractive starry shape.
