Tiny, tidy Tater Tot arborvitae naturally grows as a dense globe of fan-like green foliage. It adds instant evergreen appeal to landscapes, gardens, and containers.
Crataegus phaenopyrum (Washington Hawthorn) is a small, low-branching, deciduous tree of graceful habit with a dense, broadly oval to rounded crown. In late spring to early summer, it is generously covered in dense clusters of creamy-white flowers and provides a spectacular floral display. In summer, its strongly horizontal branches are clothed with glossy leaves adorned with 3-5 pointed lobes. Like most hawthorns, they are well armed with slender thorns, about 1-3 in. long (2-7 cm). In the fall, the foliage turns glorious shades of scarlet, orange and purple. Adding their charm to the show are shiny red round fruits clustered among the glowing leaves. Attractive to wild birds, they adorn the branches well into winter. It is the last hawthorn to flower and is also the most heat tolerant hawthorn. More elegant and delicate than others, it is also one of the least prone to fireblight. The flamboyant flowers and blazing fall color make it one of the showiest and most desirable hawthorns for planting.
A splendid specimen tree, award-winning Davidia involucrata (Dove Tree) is a medium-sized deciduous tree of pyramidal-oval habit, noted for its striking flowers in late spring to early summer. Borne in rounded clusters, they boast a pair of large, creamy-white floral bracts, up to 12 in. long (30 cm), which subtend small, reddish-purple flower heads. Reminiscent of white dove tails or handkerchiefs fluttering in the breeze, they create a truly spectacular display.
