Sugar Maple
The Sugar Maple tree, Acer Saccharum, 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. The Sugar Maple is very drought tolerant, long-lived, and grows best in deep, fertile, well-drained soils. The sap of the Sugar Maple is often collected in the spring to make many flavorful confections. Does not do well in restricted root zone. It has majestic, brilliant fall color and dense shade. ... more information
Columnar Swedish Aspen This slender tree is great for smaller spaces, screens and along drives. It is probably the narrowest of the columnar trees. The dark green leaves have a lighter silvery-green underside providing both visual interest and a soothing sound in the breeze and tremble with the faintest whisper of wind, creating the same pleasant rustling sounds as the leaves of Quaking Aspen. This tree is an excellent substitute for a Lombardy Poplar in cooler climates. It is best suited for small yards, as a screen or a vertical accent. The fall color can range from orange to red. This aspen is an excellent tree for lining driveways, fence-lines, shelterbelts or group plantings. |
