White Dogwood

An excellent landscape choice for all four seasons, the white dogwood is a favorite in many yards and gardens. White blooms show their beauty in spring, foliage turns a vibrant red-purple in fall, and glossy red fruits attract winter songbirds for the enjoyment of all.

Eastern Redbud

Known as the harbinger of spring, the eastern redbud’s delicate blossoms and buds are one of the season’s most dramatic displays. But this tree’s beauty doesn’t end with its flowery show. Unique and irregular branching patterns combine with a trunk that commonly divides close to the ground to create a very handsome, spreading and often flat-topped crown.

Yoshino Cherry

Also known as the Japanese flowering cherry, the Yoshino cherry is the darling of the flowering tree world and the star of such renowned events as the National and International Cherry Blossom Festivals. This stand-out tree is known for its vibrant display of white-pink blossoms and faint almond fragrance in the springtime.
