Weeping Willow

Whose gaze doesn’t stop on the stoic, graceful Weeping Willow seen from their car window when driving by? The statuesque weeping willow can dominate a landscape and is recognized at a glance. Whether situated alone in a yard or adorning a lake or pond with its spiraling branches arching to the ground, adorned with its long, narrow bright green leaves. Adaptable to many soil types and both acidic and alkaline soils, it does prefer medium to wet conditions. It flowers in late winter or early spring on attractive yellow/green catkins.

Hardiness Zones

Knowing Your Plant Hardiness Zone is Important

All species of plants will thrive under optimal conditions. The USDA system was originally developed to aid gardeners, growers and landscapers in  determining these conditions across the United States. A hardiness zone is a geographic area defined to encompass a certain range of climatic conditions relevant to plant growth and survival.

The 2012 USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map is the standard by which we can determine which plants are most likely to flourish at a location. The map is produced by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service (ARS). The zones are based on the average annual minimum winter temperature, divided into 10-degree Fahrenheit zones.

Royal Purple Smoke

Ornamental Trees, Flowering Trees

Is it a tree, or a bush?  The Royal Purple Smoke is actually a deciduous shrub that is a stunning accent tree / shrub in any landscape. Eventually growing 10-15 feet tall and wide, it sports gorgeous maroon-red / purple leaves that are certain to catch the eye. But that’s not all! The “Smoke” comes from billowy “hair like” puff balls that appear from the tree’s stalks where it’s tiny yellow flowers bloomed. Though the flowers are deemed insignificant, the “smoke balls” are highly attractive. The Purple Smoke can be vigorously cut back in the VERY early spring and this will promote vigorous and larger leaf growth, but at the expense of the blooms. It is a plant where “less is more”. It does well in highly drained “rocky or loose soil”, and does not like wet feet or soils that remain saturated. Once established, it requires only moderate water and is drought tolerant, requires little fertilizer or maintenance (save for how you wish to prune it).

Is it a tree or a shrub: you decide!

Autumn Blaze Maple

Shade Trees
The Autumn Blaze Maple is a classic oval-shaped shade tree with incredibly stylish orange/red fall color. It grows quickly and will brighten your yard in the autumn with a splash of brilliant orange/red leaves. The color often lasts longer than many other species of maple. Plant this tree if you want to brighten up your neighborhood in the fall, reduce your cooling bill in the summer or provide habitat for songbirds. Deliberately hybridized, cultivated Autumn Blaze Maples exhibit sterility but can have small clusters of samara (i.e. dry fruit).

Silver Maple

Shade Trees
The Silver Maple is a fast growing shade tree that sports the signature Maple Leaf in summer with green topside, and silvery on the bottom. For many years this tree was the go to tree for growing urban street plantings because of its rapid growth, but its shallow root system made that counterproductive. It is the fastest growing maple and thrives in wet river bottom and lowlands, but tolerates drier soils as well. It is an excellent choice as a Rain Garden tree or planted in wetter than normal areas. As with all Maples, they require pruning to keep their shape and will provide shade faster than any of their Maple cousins. This is a Maple for shade and beauty in the summer, not for brilliant fall foliage. It transplants well and is a favorite for robin nesting and its signature “helicopter” seeds (samaras) are devoured by squirrels, birds and other small mammals.

Swamp White Oak

Shade Trees, Flowering Trees
Who doesn’t admire the sight of a sturdy oak tree?  The Swamp White Oak is a medium sized, moderately fast-growing Oak that grows to @ 50-60 feet tall and wide. The Swamp White Oak transplants well and is a long-lived tree: up to several hundred years as well as being a bird and pollinator favorite. It sports large, leathery, broad multi-colored leaves that are dark green on top and silvery on the bottom in summer, then turning yellow/brown and sometimes “reddish purple” in fall. Its wide, full canopy makes for an excellent shade tree or a street planting. It prefers full sun and acidic soil PH: yellowing of leaves during the summer months is a telltale sign of soils with high PH. While the Swamp White Oak thrives in lowlands near swamps and marshes in medium to wet conditions and poorly drained soils, it also tolerates clay soil and drought well.

October Glory Maple

Shade Trees
The October Glory Maple is a cultivar of the Red Maple. It is fast growing, keeps its deep green leaf color throughout the summer, and wow’s us in autumn. When one thinks of striking brilliant Orange foliage they’ve seen in autumn, the October Glory Maple is what they recall. In some years a dull burnt orange or red, in other years an almost iridescent neon orange! Birds and small mammals are attracted to their “helicopter” seeds that have fallen, and pollinators are attracted to the tiny red flower blooms that appear in spring. The October Glory can adapt in many different soil types, but prefers moist, acidic soils. Once established, its fall foliage colors are very reliable, turn colors a bit later than other Maple’s, and also keep their fall colors longer than most others.

Bald Cypress

Shade Trees
The Bald Cypress is a beautiful, low maintenance, easy to grow deciduous conifer that is not at all finicky about soil types and PH: from acidic to alkaline, to sand, loam clay and mildly salty soil. It’s long, slender branches feature short needles on both sides which start out yellow in spring, to light green in summer, to a yellow or coppery red in fall. Fairly insect resistant, it is a medium growing, pyramidal shaped tree who’s canopy can cast considerable shade as it matures. It loves full sun(6 hours of unobstructed sun) but can thrive in partial shade. It bears small clusters of little “globes” that produce 2 or three triangular seeds that fall in November-December. It’s nearest cousin is the Dawn Redwood, and in nurseries are often mistaken for the other.
