OUTSTANDING IN THEIR FIELD


The list of new woody plant materials our Tree and Shrub buyer at Gethsemane scours the country for is long so I'll just pick out a few of some that I think are special.



Fall color of Betula nana 'glengarry' - a dwarf bog birch that grows to only 2 feet.



Chionanthus retusus 'tokyo tower ' - a pyrimidal form  of the Fringe Tree, sure to be a hit for the urban garden.



Wow!  Similar to the Coral Bark Maple - Acer cirinatum 'Pacific Fire ' is sure to be a best seller.  It slowly grows 10 ' in 10 years.




Weigela florida 'shining sensation' -I've always loved this shrub for its long bloom - 6 weeks and deep burgundy foliage but now this beauty is a reliable repeat bloomer!

Garden seasoning kicks off soon - our Tree and Shrub department opens early in April.  Those of you in the Chicago area stop by and see our sensational selections and I'll be glad to give you a tour of our fabulous garden center, voted the best by the Chicago Reader and other media.
