TREES   

New for 2011 Trees and pics!  

    We have many One-of-a-Kind perennials, shrubs and trees available.  If you are looking for a certain rare plant, call.  We may have it.  Also, see our special Dwarf Conifers and Maples section for exciting Dwarf Shrubs and Trees!  (Please contact us if you are interested in a price of an item listed without this information.)

Out-of-the-ordinary trees. You usually don’t have room for too many trees in your environment and what you plant, you may be looking at for life. If you buy a mediocre tree, every time you look at it, you will regret your decision. On the other hand, if you choose carefully what you admire, every time you see it, it will give you pleasure. As your tree grows and matures, your pleasure will increase. This is item # 547.5 of my philosophy.  (pics are Cercis canadensis 'Burgundy Hearts' at right, Cornus k. 'Summer Gold' below.)

Planting Trees   Dig hole same depth as root ball (area where trunk flares out and roots begin to bottom of roots), plus 2,” and 3 times the width of the root ball. Many times potted and balled & burlapped trees will have soil above the natural root depth. Before planting, feel down to find the true tree base where the roots begin.

The perimeter of the hole should slant out at bottom to encourage roots to grow down. Soil should not be amended too much; greatest amount near root ball to encourage roots to grow out.

Do not let the roots dry out. If soil falls away from roots, soak roots in water with 1/2 strength liquid fertilizer 1/2 hr. before planting and continuously sprinkle roots and leaves until fully planted. When hole is 1/2 full of soil, water thoroughly and again when all soil is in. Plant in a slight 1-2” depression to direct water to roots. Water in with an organic fertilizer such as liquid seaweed full strength or a commercial liquid fertilizer at 1/2 strength. If there is foliage on the tree, wet the leaves. If leaves appear too dense for root system, you can pick off some of the mature leaves or shade the tree with a sheet or burlap for a couple of weeks.

If you use a string trimmer, make a collar of hardware cloth around the bottom 8” to avoid girdling the tree. If in a windy location, use a guy wire system that keeps tree up and doesn’t damage bark. Mulch not more than 2—3” and keep mulch 3—6” away from trunk to avoid rot and insect damage.

Exfoliating Bark - Some trees with exfoliating bark have immense year-round beauty. Parrotia, crape myrtles, stewartias, and kousa dogwoods, (all smaller-sized trees) are among the most exquisite. While attractive as a single trunk, they excel trained as a multi-trunked tree with a wide-spreading base and lots of movement in the trunks. This can be encouraged in a small specimen by cutting back the top to encourage low branching and training trunks as in bonsai or planting several trees together. Please call me if you have questions on training.
