Navajo Peking Willow
The Navajo Peking Willow, Salix matsudana 'Navajo', is also known as Globe Willow because of its distinctly round form. The tree looks as if it's been sheared into a perfect ball. It is well known for its fast growth and adaptability to a wide range of soil conditions. This is one Willow that can take drought, so it is popular in hot and drier areas. Fast growth and weak wood mean that the plant should be pruned regularly to avoid breakups in wind storms. The flowers are catkins produced early in the spring. It is a species of willow native to northwestern China. ... more info
Eastern Red Oak The Eastern Red Oak tree, Quercus maxima, is a hardwood tree that you can recognize by its pointy-lobed leaves with prickly tips. In autumn the leaves turn a vibrant red, adding bursts of color to our landscapes. This deciduous tree produces many acorns and is a great provider of food for wildlife. The tree is very similar to the Northen Red Oak and is sometimes called a Northen Red Oak. It grows rapidly for an Oak tree and is widely adaptable to moisture and soil types. |
