Skyline Honeylocust (Gleditsia triacanthos var. inermis)
A stately and unusual variety with distinctive pyramidal form, this tree develops a strong, sturdy trunk and shapely crown. 50' tall, thornless, and fruitless, it is a valualble tree for light, filtered shade.
Oak (Quercus var.)
Oaks are of a majestic species and we must remember to plant them for future generations; Swamp White and Red are two fairly fast growers. Burr Oak is the solitary tree of open spaces and Scarlet has a brilliant red fall color.

Winterking Hawthorn (Cragetus 'Winterking')
As the name suggests, the Winterking holds its red fruit much of the winter for terrific ornamental appeal; 20-25 feet tall, white flowers and rugged pealing bark.
'Fall Fiesta' Sugar Maple (Acer saccharum 'Bailsta')
'Fall Fiesta' has thick, dark-green leathery leaves with unsurpassed intense orange-red long lasting fall color. Attains a height of 75 feet with a 50 foot spread, upright and rounded shape form. Plant all Sugar Maples on a well drained site
White Fringe Tree (Chionanthus virginicus)
20 feet tall and wide, normally in shrub form but we have one specimen in tree form of 1/1/2" caliper. Late to leaf out in spring but its worth the wait for the thick tropical leaves and white fringy fragrant flowers. Pleasant yellow fall color. Dark purple fruits on female plants and need a nearby male for pollinatation.
