Forsythia suspensa is an upright, arching, deciduous shrub that puts on an outstanding display of spring yellow color. What we like most about this specimen is that it can be grown as an upright vase shaped flowering shrub similar to a crapemyrtle, which makes it a highly distintive and outstanding landscape specimen. It typically grows 6-10′ tall and as wide, but weeping branches may be trained on a support structure to grow somewhat taller as a woody vine. Golden 4-petaled flowers appear in profusion before the foliage in late winter to early spring, and it is one of the earliest blooming shrubs… a true harbinger of spring. Opposite, serrate, ovate, simple to trifoliate, medium green leaves (to 4″ long). This species is native to China and is one of the parents of the popular Forsythia x intermedia hybrids. USDA zones 5-9

Amelanchier grandiflora, 'Autumn Brilliance'is a great native specimen producing white spring flowers and awesome fall colors for its multi-season display. These grow to 15' - 20' and are taller than wide. We grow single trunk specimens, but do have some multi-trunk as well. The Amelanchier looks great as a solo tree, or as part of a multi-specimen design. These are a truly very nice tree/ shrub and are fascination to see up close throughout the seasons. Autumn Brilliance puts on one of the best fall color displays of all of the serviceberry trees. It is a beautiful native flowering tree, and the birds love the berries that display in May/ June. It is a hard-to-find tree, and is also valuable as a wildlife tree because it attracts songbirds. It is also called June Berry, and has become one of our favorites.
