A newer introduction from Talon Buchholz, it has attractive red purple leaves with black veins in spring. The colors are intense and the new leaves almost glow before they age to red in summer and then intense red and orange in autumn.

Among the best known of eastern North American trees because it is well adapted. We offer these seedlings as an alternative to more expensive named selections.

Used as a specimen native tree, this is an American classic. Potentially imposing in mature size - to 75 ft. tall. Many cultivars have been selected and these are always popular, handsome trees.

Bark peels in tight vertical curls. September brings a muted blend of yellow and claret-red foliage, capturing the essence of autumn. During winter, tufts of snow lodge on the peels of grey and honey-colored bark, lending contrast. Often listed as hardy to Zone 5, growers report it hardy to -40°F - a full zone rating hardier than Acer griseum.

Holds its yellow autumn leaves a full month longer than Heritage®. Has glossier leaves, a tighter habit, and better heat tolerance than Heritage® in Zone 9. You already know Earl Cully's Heritage® is a money-making super tree. Try this one for comparison, especially if you're in the Gulf States.

Selected by Earl Cully almost 20 years ago for its outstanding peeling bark, extreme hardiness, resistance to borers, and ability to grow in waterlogged or dry soils. Whether you clump them in a container or grow them as singles, this is among the easiest of plants to finish: even our smallest liners can grow to 5-6 ft. in a single season. Named Urban Tree of The Year for 2002 by the Society of Municipal Arborists.

This is the most prized of white barked birch. It grows in classic conical form; it doesn't often look natural in a clump though it is often used that way. It is a easy to use adaptable tree.

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.

Widely adapted and often associated with Cornus florida in its native range. Bright pink flowers appear in the first warm days of spring; a delight after a long winter.

An exceptionally attractive, relatively new introduction from TN. With so many new redbuds in the trade, we have to wonder when they will start to look like re-runs, but this is clearly a fine variety. Smaller in stature (12-15 ft. at maturity) than the species, its foliage is set on its branches with Vegas dealer-like precision. This one will grab your heart.

Some plants are described as having red flowers, but the term "red" used here in the cultivar name misinforms those who have not seen it in flower. Many firms list flowers as "fuchsia pink". It's certainly not blood-red like Rosa moyesii, but this selection is a distinctively much brighter pink than seedlings. So it catches your eye - one of our favorites. Its flowers closely match the intense pink color of Prunus campanulata.

Popular variety with maroon-colored leaves. Flower color same as the species. Leaf color is darkest when planted in full sun.

Hearts of Gold' is the first of several new yellow-leafed redbuds. Its neon-yellow foliage is an immediate contrast in any landscape. Upright growth like the species; no leaf scorch in summer.

Result of a 'Forest Pansy' x 'Covey' cross, this is a hardy, compact genetic "combo" of purple foliage in a redbud weeper. If you don't mind staking it until it gets to 8 ft. or more, it will reward your efforts with small stature and clearly unique character to make your clients proud.

A new selection that has proven itself with excellent color retention and added resistance to summer leaf scorch than older maroon-leaved cultivars, especially in the heat of the South East. Rosy-purple flowers are followed by red-purple new foliage turning to wine-red burgundy in summer that holds well throughout the fall.

Selected by Ohio tree connoisseur Tim Brotzman. Strongly weeping tree with masses of lavender-pink, pea-shaped flowers in late spring. Dark green, glossy summer foliage.

Introduced by Ray and Cindy Jackson. New growth has a light, Pumpkin-orange tint that distinguishes it from the uniformly green-ish-yellow color of 'Hearts of Gold'. In the heat of the Midwest and SE, it doesn't burn; that just makes it grow faster. We think you'll be amazed at its incandescent attractiveness, whether in a wholesale nursery or potted up for direct sale in a GC.

All Chinese redbud varieties are covered with flowers in early spring -even on old branches. This cultivar is more tree-like, has bright rose-purple flowers and shiny leaves. Less hardy than C. canadensis.

It has all the features you've come to expect from Chinese dogwood: excellent white flowers followed by showy fruit, great fall color of orange red and narrower habit - to only 8 ft. wide in twenty five years. Snow Tower could easily be utilized as a street tree with such a habit!

With a RHS Award of Garden Merit Lois, named in 1998, is a sister to 'Elizabeth', with more intense yellow flowers consistently opening a couple weeks later so more flowers come after spring frosts but still prior to the leaves. The flowers don't fade with age though they are slightly smaller than Elizabeth's.

Tinker Belle is a really beautiful Magnolia and we expect it to be in big demand. Fast growing it blooms well on young plants in the nursery. The buds open to numerous dark magenta, 3" upright flowers with pale pink interiors and a very sweet fragrance. Small in stature it will make an excellent specimen for smaller gardens, container culture or a shrubby boarder. The plants set buds readily in the nursery and the color and fragrance are unique attracting a lot of interest in the garden center. In Europe it is sought after for cut flower production.

A stunning addition to Magnolia collections and another introduction from breeders Felix and Mark Judy. It produce magnificent, 6 inch golden-honey, goblet-shaped flowers almost tulip-like, in early spring. Honey Tulip is an upright smaller tree growing to a height of 12 feet, making it suitable for smaller gardens or featured in a larger landscape plantings.

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.

A superior, tight form that stays columnar and flame shaped over the years. Clean, insect and disease resistant green leaves turn bright golden yellow and red-orange in autumn. Over time the bark handsomely exfoliates. Golden BellTower is a moderate grower and will reach 30 ft. tall and 10 ft. wide over time. Makes an excellent choice for smaller yards, tight spots and is a logical choice for commercial plantings or as a street tree. The best fall color will be achieved by growing it in full sun, however it will grow equally well in part shade. Drought resistant once established. Found and selected by our friend Ken Christianson over a decade ago.

The Nation Arboretum's wisdom in testing this for over twenty years is rewarded by superior tree form, 30 feet tall by on 15 feet wide. It has semi-pendulous, single, dark rose-pink flowers opening late in March into early April. One of the best features are red calyces which provide an interesting post-bloom ornamental color boost for a further three weeks after petal drop.

Selected and named by Earl Culley, the original plant was planted sometime in the 1830s by an German immigrant family along the old National Rd in rural Norwich, OH. Still growing strong and is easily hardy to minus 28F; with 180 years of weather records we have solid evidence. It is one of the hardiest selections of pond cypress.

Landscape designers love this clone for its stately pyramidal form. A fast grower with a broad spreading crown, it will get 50+ ft. tall but maintain a dependable central leader. A fast grower, it's much broader than Shawnee Brave.

Released by USNA in 1995. With resistance to Dutch elm disease, though not immunity it bring back the classic shape of the stately American elm.
