Here are a few of our favorites right now ... but please note that availability and selection will vary by location. 

Japanese Maples

Beautiful in every season, Japanese maples are incredibly diverse and indispensable in today's landscapes. They provide color, texture and great variety. Because there are hundreds of cultivars, they vary considerably in leaf shape, from the “typical” maple leaf to deeply cut “lace leaf” varieties. Foliage colors range from light green to deep burgundy and some are variegated. The growth habit may be anywhere from a low growing, dwarf weeping variety to a 20 foot tall shade tree. Although Japanese maples look delicate, they are actually hardy and resilient trees. In the southeast, they should be grown in partial shade, protected from the afternoon sun. These will help to prevent leaf scorch.
 
 

Dogwoods

Dogwoods have long been valued for their lovely spring display, attractive shape and modest size. Because they are relatively small, even in maturity, dogwood trees are ideal flowering trees for small landscapes. Blooms range in color from white to pink or red and generally bloom for about two to four weeks in early spring. They also add summer and fall color, with rich green foliage color in summer and reddish purple fall leaf color. This is often followed by brilliant red berries in winter. Native to the eastern United States, dogwoods originally evolved as understory members of the forests where they thrive under the canopy of larger trees. So for best results, plant your dogwood in an area that receives filtered shade and protection from the afternoon sun.
 
 

Flowering Cherry Trees

In our part of the world, pastel clouds of cherry blossoms mark the arrival of spring. This group of small, ornamental trees produces masses of white to dark pink flowers and come in a wonderful variety of shapes and sizes. The bark of the trees is characteristically smooth and glossy, an attribute that makes this tree attractive, even in winter. As a general rule, they are easy to grow and need little or no pruning. Some also attract butterflies to the garden, providing food for the caterpillars or nectar for the adult butterflies. For best blooms, plant this tree in full sun, but make sure that it receives adequate irrigation.
