Ornamental tree
FOX VALLEY BIRCH Tight mushroom shape head with peeling rustic yellow bark. This is a dwarf version of the River Birch. Grows to a height of only 10’. Available in a multi stem form. (Feed with milorganite granulars 3 times a year.)

JAPANESE MAPLE (BLOOD GOOD) Deeply cut red/purple leaves all season. Slow growing tree. Excellent courtyard accent tree. Keep in a well protected area away from open northern winds. No trimming necessary. (Feed with milorganite and acid 3 times a year, but do not feed acid after August.)

JAPANESE MAPLE BURGUNDY LACE Extremely deeply cut leaves make this tree more unique than the Bloodgood. A unique weeping effect is also seen on this tree. Like its cousin the Bloodgood no trimming is necessary. (Feed with milorganite and acid 3 times a year, but do not feed acid after August.)

PURPLE BEECH Glossy purple foliage all season. Columnar Growth habit makes for a narrow width plant. Great as a focal point against a tall wall such as fireplaces. (Feed with milorganite granulars 3 times a year.)

WEEPING MULBERRY Unusually shaped tree with glossy green foliage. Rounded top branches grow back downward giving this focal point tree an umbrella shape and look. Grows to a height of 8’ and turn to a yellow color in the fall. (Feed with milorganite granulars 3 times a year.)

WEEPING PURPLE BEECH Glossy purple foliage with columnar growth, though all branches have a downward lay to them. Hence weeping. (Tri-color Beech is another great verity with red, white and green foliage) (Feed with milorganite granulars 3 times a year.)
