Gorgeous, brilliant reddish orange foliage create a 'fantasy' of fall color on this cross between urban tolerant Silver Maple and the colourful Red Maple. A relative to the popular 'Autumn Blaze', this oval-shaped shade tree grows about a foot per year to 40-50 ft. tall in sun. An excellent selection for homeowners, it is tolerant of both moist and dry conditions.

People will notice this curious focal point! Now grafted on an ornamental stem (shrub form shown), this 'Purple Hazel and Contorted Hazel' cross bears wrinkled burgundy-red leaves in spring that turn reddish green in summer and then finally orange/maroon. Red fall catkins and the twisted branches add interest into the winter. A durable plant for most soil and exposure locations, it does best in moist, well-drained soil and it tolerates sun or part shade.

In the springtime, the 3-4 ft. diameter head of this dwarf tree forms coral pink buds that burst into long lasting fragrant double rose flowers. Dense green leaves and tiny red cherry-sized fruit follow. Fruit is quite small and should not be considered 'messy'. A very hardy tree that grows in almost any sunny spot, it can grow 5 to 7 ft. tall and is and ideal feature tree in a small yard or garden.

This compact, upright tree is covered with fragrant double flowers resembling tiny white roses. One of the first crabapples to bloom in the spring, it is one of the last to finish flowering too, and is followed by golden red, cherry-sized fruit. It grows 15-20 ft. tall and wide, requires no pruning to maintain its natural shape, and is an ideal tree for a small sunny lot. It's also reputed to be one of the most disease resistant crabapples ever bred.  

What's a Dawn Redwood?  Dawn redwoods are long lived trees that are cousins to the famous California redwoods. Having some similarities to tamarack larch, dawn redwoods have soft needle like leaves in season that turn orange to yellow tan in fall. This rare dawn redwood is a true dwarf, growing slowly in a compact globular form to a height of 8 feet, but can also be trimmed to suit. Orangey bark is a winter feature of this plant. An unusual plant that is 'not the same old same old'.

Similar to dawn redwoods like Matthaie Broom (above) this rare weeping dawn redwood has feathery blue green foliage that turns golden tan to brown in fall before dropping. It grows slowly to approximately 8 feet tall in sun or light shade. It's interesting foliage and fine texture make it a deceivingly hardy feature plant in a garden bed or near an entry. It grows in most soil conditions except for very wet.

Seldom do we find a tree that has such an unusually beautiful character as this broadly vase-shaped ?Kwanzan Cherry'. Fragrant double shell pink flowers are an absolutely spectacular sight against the wine-red leaves. A brand new introduction, this tree grow only 20 ft. tall by 12 ft. wide in full sun and is more tolerant of heavier clay soils than most cherries. Absolutely stunning when in full bloom!

A recent award winning introduction, this quite unusual, slow-growing Japanese cherry like ornamental tree has unique branches that zigzag all over the place! In the springtime, clusters of white flowers with pink centers are plastered on every inch of available wood followed by green leaves that turn a strong maroon to red in the fall. Perfect for small spaces, its 'head' grows only 5-6 ft. tall and wide in a sunny or partially shady garden.
