Flowering Dogwood (Cornus florida)
Graceful and compact with brilliant spring blooms, the Flowering Dogwood is a prevalent landscaping option.
It thrives under the shady canopies of larger trees with moist, slightly acidic soil and little direct sunlight. Dogwoods are
among the earliest spring bloomers typically flowering in early April. Beautiful clusters of individual flowers range in color
based on variety and can remain showy for two to three weeks. Pruning should be done after flowering, but before next year’s
flower buds form in July. It is a modestly sized deciduous tree, perfect for residential or smaller yards. Suitably
located, this popular tree can live up to 80 years.

Japanese Apricot (Prunus mume)
The Japanese Apricot is a one-of-a-kind flowering fruit tree with droopy branches and corkscrewed trunk growth. Its flowers are white, red,
or a vivacious pink, blooming from late winter to early spring, and create single or double blooms. Fragrant and long lasting
flowers are only a portion of what make this tree so charming. Following blooming, the tree produces small yellow drupes, which
are inedible but attractive. Growing up to 20-feet tall, This sun-loving, deciduous tree is low maintenance and needs normal to
moist soil to thrive. Uniform light on all sides is extremely important for it to grow evenly. For mass blooms, heavy
pruning is a must after flowering. These gorgeous blossoms appear only after the green leaves have fallen and its shiny branches are bare.

Lavender Twist Redbud (Cercis canadensis 'Covey')
Lavender Twist Redbud, originally discovered in the garden of Connie Covey in Westfield, New York, is a landscape stunner.
It has year-round interest with its beautiful pink-purple blooms in spring, heart-shaped leaves in summer, yellow foliage in fall, and
sculptural appeal in winter with its twisted branches and seedpods. The tree naturally grows in a weeping form and develops
an umbrella-shaped top, but it can be trained to grow upright. Its early dormancy, before the first frost, makes it winter
hardy. A slow grower, Lavender Twist Redbud prefers well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade. With its
year-round beauty, Lavender Twist Redbud is sure to be the focal point of any landscape design.
