(Special order only.)

Acer rubrum 'Armstrong Gold'
Selected from an evaluation of hundreds of seedlings of 'Armstrong', this cultivar improves greatly on the parent, with brighter gold to orange fall foliage colour, greater foliage density and compact, less leggy growth habit. The improved columnar form makes it perfect for narrow planting sites. It grows to 40 feet tall by approximately 12 feet wide on most soil conditions.

Acer saccharum 'Barret Cole''
Unique narrowness, dense branching and compact form make this dwarf and columnar Sugar Maple ideal for limited spaces. Dark green foliage withstands summer heat, and fall colour is an excellent orange/gold to red.  It grows to 30 feet tall by 10 feet wide on a broad range of soil types.

Acer truncatum x Acer platanoides 'JFS-KW202'
Sure.. it looks like a normal red maple... but it's better!  This hybrid maple gains heat tolerance from one parent, and gorgeous purple leaves from the other. The leaves resembles that of a Crimson King Maple, but its form is more upright and compact. It flourishes in the summer heat with minimal scorching, with the leaves turning bright purple bronze in the fall. It grows to 35 feet tall by 25 feet wide in full sun.

Acer pennsylvanica
A great tree for the shade, this native tree (which is also known as "Moosewood" or "Moose Maple") has distinctive snake like vertical whitish stripes on the bark which fade to greenish brown as it ages. It also has distinctive large green 3- lobed foliage and key-like fruit. Growing only 25 ft. tall, it requires a cool, moist, shaded location. Leaves will turn brilliant yellow in the fall!

Betula nigra 'Shiloh Splash'
Considered a superior dwarf River Birch, this unique slow growing tree has striking variegated leaves and creamy gold peeling birch bark.

Fagus sylvatica 'Red Obelisk'
This narrow growing purple leaf beech has a strong pyramidal form. It grows at a fairly slow rate in full sun to 40 feet by 10 ft wide.

Hibiscus syriacus 'Miss Jilene'
Miss Jilene is a truly remarkable variety of Rose of Sharon or Althea. Everyone loves hibiscus flowers, which cover the plant in the late summer, and Miss Jilene blooms are gorgeous-- pink with a wine-colored center. The prolific blooms will start in late summer and continue until the first frost of autumn. But what makes this tree truly extraordinary is its beautiful variegated foliage, which gives this hibiscus plant summer interest even without the blossoms. It grows to 8 to 10 feet tall in full sun or light shade and on soils that are well-drained. 

Maackia amurensis 'Maacnificent'
What is an Amur Maackia? It is an excellent vigorous tree for smaller locations. A member of the pea family, it is able to fix it's own nitrogen to assist in its growth. It grows with beautiful upright branching forming a roughly symmetrical vase shape, and it produces slightly dangling clusters of white flowers that decorate the plant in early summer, that form small pea pods after that.

It grows to 30 feet tall by 22 feet wide on most soil conditions. * Special order

Malus x 'DurLawrence'
This pretty blooming crabapple is covered with masses of lovely soft pink blossoms in early spring, and bronzey red leaves through the summer, that turn orange into the fall. Unlike many crabapples, this disease resistant variety is considered 'seedless' or fruitless as it rarely produces ornamental fruit. It is an excellent small landscape tree with broad, upright habit that grows to roughly 20 feet tall by 10 feet wide in sun and on most soil conditions.

Malus 'Purple Wave'
One of the most popular crabapple types are those with deep purple leaves AND purple/pink blossoms. This tree offers both! While the leaves turn a bit more bronze/purple in the summer, they turn a pretty bronze colour again in the fall. They bear small dark crabapples in the late summer that remain on the tree into the late fall. It grows to 25 feet tall by 18 feet wide on most soil conditions.

Parrotia persica
This unusual tree for sun or part shade has a number of worthy features! Reddish-purple leaves emerge in the spring, change to glossy green, then gold, pumpkin-orange and crimson for the autumn! Modest maroon coloured flowers and brown fruit develop early. As the bark ages, it peels to reveal silver, green, white, and cinnamon colors. This tree could grow 25-35 ft. tall and 20 ft. wide in well drained soil.

Salix repens
This is not the 'massive' weeping willow of the swamp, but rather a cousin to the popular weeping pussy willow. As a topgrafted ornamental tree it bears weeping branches laden with silky silvery leaves that are very showy. Small catkins in spring are an added bonus. The head of the tree could grow to 5 ft. in diameter when planted in sun or part shade, but a regular trimming will ensure density and lots of the brightest new growth.  *Available by special order.
