 Black Gum: One of our most beautiful native trees; somewhat pyramidal when young with densely set branches, some of which are pendulous. SIZE: 30 to 50’ in height with a spread of 20 to 30’ can grow to 100’ or more but this size is rare. LEAF COLOR: Lustrous dark green in summer changing to fluorescent yellow to orange to scarlet to purple colors in the fall; one of our best, most consistent, and most beautiful trees in fall. RATE: Slow to medium, 12 to 15’ over a 10 to 15 year period, easily accelerated with adequate water and fertility.

Butterfly Bush 'Honeycomb': Yellow fragrant blooms throughout the summer. Attracts butterflies. Introduced by Dr. Mike Dirr of UGA.
Knock-Out Rose Absolutely beautiful and probably the best shrub rose to hit the market. This plant will bloom Spring, Summer, and Fall. The hotter the weather the better this rose performs. New growth is bright red. Fall color is great and orange red hips last through winter. Truly a four season plant. Disease resistant. Full Sun, in well-drained soil.
‘Sango Kaku’ Japanese Maple:Widely known as the coral bark maple, this cultivar is popular due to its flaming, coral-red bark. The soft green leaves are a sharp contrast to the brilliant bark and in winter the shining stems stand out in the landscape. Watch for bright, golden-red Autumn colour for another surprise effect. One of the few Japanese Maples that can take the full sun. Expect this selection to grow 15 to 25 ft. tall and 15 to 20 ft. wide which make and exceptional choice for a feature tree and small patio gardens.
Tuscarora Crape Myrtle: Works great as a accent tree. Because this plant blooms later in the season, the blooms fill a unique niche, when only a few flowers are in season. The dark-pink flowers are almost red. The quality of the flowers is excellent, and the trees are very vigorous. The leaves turn red-orange in the fall and 70 days of flowering during the season. This tree won a National Arboretum Award and blooms from late July until October.
