Fall Color Sale!

20' October Glory Red Maples

October Glory Red Maple—Often used to line driveways or boulevards, October Glory Maples quickly mature into a beautiful oval shape, growing to between 40 and 50 feet. The leaves drop later in the season than other trees so autumn color continues while other trees are bare.

Spring brings lovely small red flowers that contrast against the verdent backdrop of spring. Showy red fruit attracts birds. The reliable color is less dependent on the weather than other maples.

This low-maintenance, yet fast-growing, tree is an ideal landscaping tree requiring minimal attention! October Glories are ideal for warmer Southern climates, too, bringing New England color to your landscaping.

Cryptomeria — Also called a "Japanese Cedar," these trees are among the finest evergreens for the landscape. Their soft, whispy, feathery foliage has nice color in spring, summer, fall and winter!

Revered for their graceful beauty, they have been used for centuries in Japan on the grounds of temples and shrines. They bring a peacefulness to a residential landscape that creates a sanctuary for family and guests.

Relatively slow growing, these long-lived trees can reach heights of 250 feet, though in landscaping we usually see specimens in the 50 foot range. They require little maintenance and love acidic soil.

Deodar Cedar — Also called a "Himallayan Cedar," this is often said by arborists to be the "most graceful cedar."

The graceful, sweeping branches form a pyramidal shape with good branch density. Its blue-green needles compliment the landscaping color palette. Deodars start out dense and become wider and more open and artistic with age, eventually losing their lower branches.

An excellent evergreen, it achieves heights of 70 feet. Once established, it is heat and drought tolerant, disease and pest-free (and deer resistant).
