Larger in final height than our other selections. Interesting new leaf

Early dark blue-purple berries. Great berries
for contrast in fall decorating or viewing in the garden. Its amazing how nature
has still more to give even after a hot summer. Plant is often a
dieback shrub in Zone 5 and larger in the South.
Summers end luxury.

Mature height - 20', Growth - Fast, Light - S, Soil - Poor,
Origin - US
Berry Color -
orange, Berry Time - Sept,Oct,Nov
Great for fresh and dried arrangements, a staple of the
floral
industry. Rather rampant so a poor spot will keep it in check. We will send you
5 plants to insure pollination.
Pumpkin berries.
Chanomeles speciosa, FLOWERING QUINCE, 'Texas
Scarlet', 4,5,6,7,8, For/Cut
Mature height - 3'x4', Growth - Slow, Light - S-Psh, Soil -
Dry/Med., Origin - Japan
Flower Color - tomato red, Flower Time - May,
This species is out of flower, often derided for poor leaf
and bag of sticks look in winter. What it may lack the rest of the year, if its been a cold
winter, tomato red flowers add to an electric Spring garden. Braches can often
be cut for forcing, and the 'real' nature of its flower quality makes up for its
other drawback. Makes a good hedge.
Delightful in Spring.
Clethera acuminata, CINNAMON CLETHERA, Z 5,6,7,8,
Bfly/Brk
Mature height - 8'X6', Growth - Med., Light - S-Psh,
Soil - Dry-Med., Origin - Eastern US
A collectors native that proves adaptable to conditions and adds peeling
bark and attractive white flowers. Flowers not as fragrant as 'alnifolia'
selections but rather showy long strings of white. As it matures we appreciate
the bark more and more.
