Coral Bark Japanese Maple

This tree will give you a color show in every season. Delicate, golden-green leaves tinged with red appear in spring then mature to a lush green throughout the growing season. This leads to an amazing fall and winter display. In the fall, the leaves turn bright red, peachy-red and gold. The grand finale is the tree’s upright, coral-colored branches, which absolutely seem to glow against the grays and browns of the winter landscape. Best bark color is achieved in full sun or during cold weather. In the southeast, full sun can scorch the leaves so try to plant the tree in an area that gets morning sun and afternoon shade. Coral Bark Maples can reach a height of 15 to 20 feet.

 
 

Serviceberry

This small graceful tree also has year-round appeal. It is said that George Washington planted several specimens of Serviceberry at Mount Vernon. In the early spring, white, star-shaped flowers appear before the smooth, shiny green leaves unfurl. The blooms are followed by berry-like fruit that starts out green, turns red and matures to dark purple. These berries or pomes are often harvested and used in pies, jams and jellies. It usually takes two to three years for the tree to produce fruit. Fall leaf color ranges from gold to reddish-orange. Even after the leaves have fallen, the tree’s airy form and smooth to slightly furrowed, dark gray bark provides winter interest. The bark often has vertical, brownish stripes which make the tree easy to recognize even in winter.
 

Winter King Hawthorne

This ornamental tree has four-season attraction. It has a vase-shaped growth habit and typically grows 20-30 feet in height and spread. It is dense and thorny which makes it a popular choice for use as a hedge or as a screen. Unlike other Hawthorns, the Winter King’s thorns are small and inconspicuous. The dark green, deciduous leaves turn bronze, red, and gold in the fall. Profuse white flowers appear in spring followed by small crabapple-like, orange-red fruit which persist on the leafless tree throughout the winter. The fruit is a favorite of the wild birds in the area. The beige-gray outer bark on larger branches and the trunk peels off in sections to reveal the coppery-cinnamon bark beneath, giving the tree exceptional winter interest.
