Crab Apple American Masterpiece Malus Amaszam
The flowering crabapple should be used mainly as an ornamental tree. Because of its short stature and
small leaves it will not fulfill the duties of a shade tree. These qualities make the flowering crabapple
ideal for landscaping. Crabapples require full sun and should be planted in an area with plenty of space to
grow. This crabapple has strikingly red flowers which it holds extremely well from bud until end of bloom time.
This variety will bear maroon foliage, which is later contrasted in fall with orange-colored fruits.
The American masterpiece grows to a height of 25 feet and spreads 18 to 20 feet with a pyramidal form. Zone 4. 6 ft.
Green Mountain Sugar Maple Acer Saccharum
The Sugar Maple tree is one of our most majestic deciduous trees. It is excellent for large shade or
lawn locations. The Sugar Maple has a dense crown with glossy dark green, heavily waxed leaves. It is one
of our best trees for fall color when leaves turn brilliant red or yellow-orange. It is very shade tolerant
and can grow easily under canopy created by older trees. It is very drought tolerant, long-lived, and grows
best in deep, fertile, well-drained soils. It does not do well in a restricted root zone. The sugar maple
can reach a height 40-60 feet and spread of 35-45 feet. Zones 3-8. 6 ft.
Heritage River Birch Betula nigra 'cully'
The Heritage River Birch tree, Betula nigra, 'Heritage', is the most prominent of all the cultivars of
River Birch trees. It is faster growing, has larger, glossier leaves and is less prone to leaf spot
than the other species. One of the most appealing features of the Heritage Birch is the bark, which,
on larger, young branches and stems, is reddish to pinkish brown and peels off in papery strips. The
exposed inner bark is gray-brown to cinnamon-brown to reddish brown. The bark of the mature tree is
ridged and deepens to dark brown. This tree is handsome without leaves because of its graceful silhouette
and exfoliating bark. It grows to a height of 30-60 feet and spread of 25-40 feet. Zones 4-9. 6 ft.
Ivory Silk Lilac Syringa reticulata 'ivory silk'
The Tree Lilac is a heavily flowering tree, covered by large plumes of small creamy white flowers in the
beginning of summer. It is a very hardy tree, able to withstand winter temperatures as low as
30 degrees below zero and is also very salt tolerant. The Ivory Silk Tree Lilac is useful as a specimen or a street tree, as well
as in a group, screen, or windbreak. It flowers more heavily than other lilac species and is probably
the most trouble free and tough lilac that is available. It grows to a height of 15-25 feet and a spread
of 10-15 feet. Zones 3-7. 4 ft.
Triumph Elm Ulmus 'Morton Glossy' (complex hybrid)
This elm is attractive as both a small and large tree. It has excellent foliage and a good upright
oval shape with arching branches. Resistant to disease, insects and urban planting conditions, this
hybrid elm is a great substitute for the American elm. Triumph elm’s growth rate is fast as a young
specimen -- up to 3 feet per year! Growing to a maximum height of 50 feet, the Triumph elm’s dark
glossy green summer foliage turns yellow in the fall. It can have a spread of up to 50 feet. Zones 4-5. 5 ft.
