false This banana is a sport or mutation of the more common 'Dwarf Cavendish', and grows similarly. This cultivar almos always produces two large heads of fruit and occasionally produce a third. The sweet fruit is highly rated, and it can be very productive. This is a rare and unusual musa. 'Double' will grow double stalks in the second year. Hardiness Zone – 8-10 Winter – Will take some frost for short periods of time Mature Height – 7’ Sun – This plant prefers full sun but it will take partial, bright shade.. Water – All bananas are heavy feeders. Provide plenty of water and fertilizer in the growing season. While it is practically impossible to over water, it will not tolerate standing water. Fertilizer - Use balanced fertilizer once a week. Wind – This banana takes wind better than most bananas. Soil – All bananas need rich, well draining soil. If the soil in your garden is poor, you can fertilize weekly. If the soil is rich, monthly fertilizing will be sufficient. Container – Will be smaller than in the ground.

Japanese Dogwood is a species that is native to the Orient, and one that isn’t used often enough in the landscape. They are naturally free of pests and diseases, like borers and Anthracnose, and they tolerate full sun better than other Dogwoods. And to top it off – they provide large, edible, strawberry-like fruit! Like other Dogwoods they prefer acidic soil conditions, but they will grow fairly well in less acidic soils also. Once your Japanese Dogwood is planted, remember to keep your tree watered. They like the soil moist but not too wet. You only have to hand-water the tree until it has become established (about two spring seasons should do it) and when extremely dry conditions occur. Applying a medium rate tree fertilizer in fall will also assist your Japanese Dogwood in supplying you with wonderful new growth and flowers for the following season. One bonus of the Japanese Dogwood is that it has beautiful exfoliating bark and it becomes more defined as the tree ages. The best time to prune your Japanese Dogwood would be after it is done blooming. They bloom later than the other dogwoods; flowering starts in late spring and continues into early summer!

Flowering Dogwoods are naturally found growing at edges of woods. They are great small trees for the landscape. Flowering Dogwoods have beautiful blooms and the blooms multiply year after year. That sounds like a good reason to plant one, or ten. These Dogwoods thrive in higher temperatures, but prefer morning sun and afternoon shade. Flowering Dogwoods also like more acidic soil conditions. Be sure to keep your Dogwood watered after planting, they like moist soil, but not constantly wet soil. Apply a low rate tree fertilizer during the fall to promote healthy growth and flowers next spring. Not all trees are perfect however, and there are a couple of common problems that occur: Anthracnose and borer. Anthracnose is a fungal disease that causes dead spots on leaves, twigs, or fruit. Borers are small insects that bore into the woody part of plants. Don’t let this discourage you - there is hope! Your best defense against these problems is proper tree care and maintenance, if your tree is under any stress (too much sun, too much or too little water) that’s when these problems will occur. However, the benefits far outweigh the negatives. You get beautiful flowers in spring, fruit that attracts birds, and great fall color. On top of that, they really don’t need a lot of pruning, but if you feel it’s necessary to prune, please do so after the tree is done flowering in the spring.

Rutgers Flowering Dogwoods are a cross between the Flowering Florida Dogwoods and the Japanese Kousa Dogwoods; created by a brilliant group of people at Rutgers University, hence the name. The main reason for creating the hybrid is simple: it is disease and pest resistant. Anthracnose and borer, which can be common problems with Flowering Florida Dogwoods, are not problems with Rutgers. One minor drawback for this hybrid Dogwood is that it does not produce fruit, but on the flipside - it still provides excellent fall color! After you choose which Rutgers Flowering Dogwood you like best, take it home and plant it in a lightly shaded area of your yard. Rutgers prefer the same acidic soil conditions as the Flowering Florida Dogwoods. Water it well but don’t let it sit in wet soil, moist soil is fine. You also want to make sure the soil is moist during drought conditions. After going through two spring seasons, your Dogwood should be established in its location and your hand-watering duties will decrease. About once a year, give your tree a medium rate fertilizer, preferably in fall. Rutgers Flowering Dogwoods are vigorous growers and they grow in an upright form rather than the horizontal spreading form of the Flowering Florida Dogwoods. Early spring is the blooming time for the Flowering Florida Dogwoods, late spring is the time for Japanese Kousa Dogwoods, but the Rutgers Flowering Dogwoods bloom in the middle of spring. Have one of each in your garden and you are supplied with dogwood blooms throughout the whole season! There is really no need to prune them, but if you absolutely need to cut off that one branch that’s bugging the heck out of you, simply prune method after your tree is done blooming. Overall the Rutgers Flowering Dogwood is easy to grow. Just plant it, take a step back and enjoy!

Japanese Snowbell like full sun but also tolerate light shade. Snowbells do best in organic, moist, well-drained soils and prefer to be in an area protected from wind. They are also relatively free of insect problems. Snowbells will respond well to a once a year application of low rate tree fertilizer in the fall and pruning requirements are practically non-existent. If your Japanese Snowbells get a little out of hand, you can keep them under control by shearing them after flowering. Yes, we said shearing. Literally taking hedge shearers and cutting it back. Believe me, your Snowbell will respond well to this type of pruning.

Believe it or not, this is the same Baldcypress that grows in the swamps down South and forms “knees” that seem to rise from the water and surround the base of the tree. The Baldcypress will not form “knees” when grown up North and they don’t need swamp conditions to survive. They like full sun and actually tolerate a very wide range of soil conditions. The Baldcypress is a deciduous conifer, meaning that it loses its needles every winter exposing its reddish brown bark. It has no insect problems and requires relatively low maintenance, it’s a “plant it and forget it” type of tree. As mentioned before, maintenance of your Baldcypress is fairly minimal. You may apply a low rate fertilizer during the fall. This only needs to be applied once a year for the first 3 years or so. Pruning isn’t really needed either.

Japanese Cedars are beautiful evergreens with unique foliage. We grow a variety called Yoshino. It likes full sun and good soil conditions, make sure that the soil is not too wet. Older varieties of Japanese Cedar tend to get a “bronze” tint to them in winter; Yoshino does also, but only slightly, even if planted in a protected area. The blue-green foliage color will return in spring. Japanese Cedar will benefit from an annual application of fertilizer. In the fall, apply a medium rate fertilizer for the first 3 or 4 years after planting. The fall application supplies your Japanese Cedar with nutrients needed to produce healthy new growth for the following spring. Because Japanese Cedar have such a nice natural growth habit – there is really no need to prune them at all.

About once a year, give your tree a medium rate fertilizer, preferably in fall. Rutgers Flowering Dogwoods are vigorous growers and they grow in an upright form rather than the horizontal spreading form of the Flowering Florida Dogwoods. Early spring is the blooming time for the Flowering Florida Dogwoods, late spring is the time for Japanese Kousa Dogwoods, but the Rutgers Flowering Dogwoods bloom in the middle of spring. Have one of each in your garden and you are supplied with dogwood blooms throughout the whole season! There is really no need to prune them, but if you absolutely need to cut off that one branch that’s bugging the heck out of you, do so after your tree is done blooming. Overall the Rutgers Flowering Dogwood is easy to grow. Just plant it, take a step back and enjoy!

false This soft pink flowering superstar is a cross between Japanese Kousa Dogwoods and Flowering Florida Dogwoods. Why? Because the geniuses at Rutgers University thought we could use a disease and pest resistant Dogwood - that's why! One tiny drawback - no fruit. But don't let that stop you! These vigorous growing Stellar Pink Dogwoods show off their blooms in mid-spring, followed by dark green leaves in summer and stunning burgundy foliage in fall. With all that - who cares if your Stellar Pink isn't fruity? The item you receive will be 2-3' tall.

Flowering Dogwoods are naturally found growing at edges of woods. They are great small trees for the landscape, although underused. Flowering Dogwoods have beautiful blooms and the blooms multiply year after year. That sounds like a good reason to plant one, or ten. These Dogwoods thrive in higher temperatures, but prefer morning sun and afternoon shade. Flowering Dogwoods also like more acidic soil conditions. Be sure to keep your Dogwood watered after planting, they like moist soil, but not constantly wet soil. Apply a low rate tree fertilizer during the fall to promote healthy growth and flowers next spring. Not all trees are perfect however, and there are a couple of common problems that occur: Anthracnose and borer. Anthracnose is a fungal disease that causes dead spots on leaves, twigs, or fruit. Borers are small insects that bore into the woody part of plants. Don’t let this discourage you - there is hope! Your best defense against these problems is proper tree care and maintenance, if your tree is under any stress (too much sun, too much or too little water) that’s when these problems will occur. However, the benefits far outweigh the negatives. You get beautiful flowers in spring, fruit that attracts birds, and great fall color. On top of that, they really don’t need a lot of pruning, but if you feel it’s necessary to prune, please do so after the tree is done flowering in the spring.

false Pink Flowering Dogwoods have orange polka-dotted flowers that only bloom at 1:37 a.m. on the third Wednesday in November - weather permitting. Just kiddin'! We wanted to make sure you were paying attention. Seriously now, Pink Flowering Dogwoods are native to the eastern United States. They produce rosy-pink flowers that appear in late spring before the foliage. Dark green leaves in summer turn to crimson in fall. Fall foliage is accompanied by some bright red berries - which you (and the birds) will enjoy! The item you receive will be 2-3' tall.

Willows are just plain easy to grow. These large, yet delicate, trees can create quite a focal point in the garden as well. They tolerate most soil conditions, including wet soils. They aren’t too keen on dry soil conditions, but they do enjoy being planted in full sun. Willow trees are aggressive growers and can grow to be quite large. To help them grow into healthy large trees, apply a dose of medium rate fertilizer once a year in the fall. You should only do this for about the first 3 or 4 years that it graces your garden. You shouldn’t have to prune too often, just prune when you feel it is necessary. Willow trees are free of any major pest or disease problems. When your Willow tree is young, however, keep the trunk of your young Willow protected – ‘cause deer love ‘em!

false The Norfolk Island pine makes an excellent indoor Christmas tree. The needled branches are much like those of a fir tree. The branches grow in regular, precise tiers, giving a symmetrical look to this beautiful tere. The name 'Star Pine' refers to its symmetrical shape. The leaves of the young and mature trees are different – hence the name 'heterophylla'. The Norfolk Island Pine's salt tolerance makes it an excellent coastal landscape tree. In dry air, low light or excessive winter heat it will droop its lower branches. Frost damage may cause multiple stems with weakly attached trunks. This is a very tough tree that tolerates a wide range of soils. Tall specimens are often damaged in hurricanes and high winds. Trees will recover - cut them back to the ground to force new undamaged suckers to form. Many of these trees sold by grocery stores and nurseries as indoor Christmas trees, are sprayed with a light coating of green paint to increase their appeal. Many trees sold on the market are actually Araucaria columnaris, which looks almost identical to Araucaria heterophylla when young, but older plants tend to have branches closer together and a darker foliage. These trees are growing in 6" pots

false This is a spectacular plant – probably the most unusual tree ever to find. The huge leaves of the adult plant are up to 10’long, 10 to 20” wide and arrange like the slats of a giant fan. The young plant has a subterranean trunk which, in the adult plant, emerges above ground as a palm-like trunk, with the distinct rings of leaf scars. The trunk can grow up to 1’ in diameter. The adult plant produces a multitude of creamy white flowers that resemble those of the giant Bird of Paradise. A mature Traveler Palm may bloom year round. The brown seed pods contain bright blue seeds. The Traveler Palm is not truly a palm. It belongs to the Streliziaceae, and a relative of the Bird of Paradise and Banana plants. The Traveler's Palms are growing in 1 and 2 gal. pots. Hardiness Zone – 10-11. It is possible to grow in zone 9 if planted in a sheltered location, close to the wall of the house and/or protected from the occasional frost. Bloom – Creamy white Winter – Not applicable. Mature Height - This plant can grow to 30-60'. If it is planted in a container, it can be kept smaller. Sun – The young plant needs filtered light. When adult, it prefers full sun but will tolerate partial shade. Water - Keep soil evenly moist. Fertilizer – The Travelers Palm is a heavy feeder – fertilize it frequently with balanced fertilizer. Soil - This plant is adaptable to different soils, but needs a well drained mix. Container - This is an excellent container plant.
