Acer rubrum ‘Autumn Spire’
This broadly columnar form of red maple was introduced by the University of Minnesota in 1992, from a seed source near Grand Rapids, Minnesota. It offers showy red male flowers in spring before leaves open, consistently beautiful red fall color and great hardiness.
Acer platanoides ‘Crimson King’
The dense foliage of this slow growing shade tree remains an excellent maroon-red all season long. Spring flowers of attractive maroon and yellow are a bonus. This cultivar, known for its straight trunk and well-shaped head, originated as a seedling of ‘Schwedleri’.
Acer truncatum x platanoides ‘Crimson Sunset’
Heat tolerance is the distinguishing characteristic of this Acer truncatum hybrid. Its foliage resembles that of Crimson King, but its form is more upright and compact. Thanks to the Acer truncatum parentage, it flourishes in the summer heat where few purple leafed plants will grow.
Acer x freemanii ‘Sienna’
A fast growing, hardy maple with uniform branching and a pyramidal form. Tolerant of alkaline, acidic and wet soil conditions. Superior to Autumn Blaze maple in withstanding strong winds. Is considered a very good substitute for ash varieties.
Acer saccharum ‘Bailsta’
One look is all you’ll need to see that Fall Fiesta is superior. The branching is full and symmetrical. Leathery, glossy, deep green leaves are resistant to leaf tatter and leafhopper damage. A rapid grower, easy to transplant and also resistant to sun scald and frost cracks. Outstanding fall color, shows far more oranges and reds than other sugar maples. Prefers a moist yet well-drained soil with a slight acidity for optimum growth.
Sorbus aucuparia ‘Michred’
This improved selection of Mountain Ash was developed by Michigan State University. Cardinal Royal is characterized by its straight trunk and uniform branching habit. It has dark green foliage with a silvery underside and is a vigorous grower that turns orange-red in autumn. Brilliant red berries are borne in August-September. It will provide best performance in acid soils with good drainage.
Sorbus aucuparia
This valuable ornamental tree bears showy orange-red fruits in August through September. It prefers acid soils with good drainage.
Physocarpus opulifolius ‘Jefam’
Standard form.
Selected for its striking foliage in glowing tones of orange, yellow and gold. With its bold array of colors, it will stand out as a lovely focal point in a small garden landscape. Delicate white blooms are produced in spring, and fall foliage is highlighted with tones of red and purple, making this ninebark appealing over the entire season. Plant in full sun for best performance.
Physocarpus opulifolius ‘Seward’
Standard form on its own root.
In June, white button-like flowers contrast nicely with the fine textured, wine colored foliage. A bold accent for any garden.
Quercus rubra
The fastest growing oak and one of the easiest to transplant, this tree is great for street use or as a landscape tree. The foliage is dense and lustrous and leaves hang on the tree into winter.
Aesculus glabra
The palmately compound leaves of this tree are unusual and attractive, especially in the autumn when the fall color is a range of yellows, oranges and reds. Greenish-yellow flowers are produced on large panicles in spring followed by large light brown fruit capsules.
Pyrus ussuriensis ‘Early Gold’
An improved seedling of Ure pear selected for its improved vigor, chlorosis resistance and iron-clad cold hardiness. Abundant white flowers in spring produce yellow fruits on average 10 days earlier than Ure. The foliage is an attractive, glossy green. Use Ure for pollination.
