Variegated Kousa Dogwood: Cornus kousa ‘Wolf Eyes’
A lovely spreading dogwood with creamy white margined leaves that tolerate sun or
shade. With white flowers, summer foliage, russet fall color and winter fruit on peeling
grey branches, this tree provides a lot of interest in all seasons. This variety is resistant to
powdery mildew and is a strong grower.
Pink/Red Dogwood: Cornus florida ‘Cherokee Brave’
This dogwood forms a small deciduous tree with a pyramidal form and low branches. The
spring flowers are pink-red and fade to white in the center. Oval, dark green leaves turn
bright red in the fall. The fruits persist into the winter as a food source for birds.
White Fringe Tree: Chionanthus virginicus
The Fringe tree is sometimes better known as Grancy Graybeard in our area, a name which
refers to the drooping, fragrant, creamy flower clusters that give the appearance of a bushy
“beard.” Fringe tree has no insect or disease problems, and can be grown in clusters or as a
specimen tree. It tolerates clay soil and dry conditions once established.

Black Gum: Nyssa sylvatica ‘Zydego Twist’
This Black Gum, sometimes referred to as Black Tupelo, features stunning, contorted
branches. Its form is amazing, especially after the vivid red fall foliage drops and the
branches are revealed, giving it extreme winter interest. It has no natural pests and is salt
and wet-site tolerant.
American Persimmon: Diospyros virginiana
This deciduous tree forms a rounded crown, and is one of the easiest trees to identify
because of the thick, grey bark divided into rectangular blocks. The white spring flowers
give way to edible, 1-2” fruits that mature to an orange-red and may persist into winter. Fall
leaf color is yellow-green-red-purple and quite stunning.
Weeping American Persimmon: Diospyros virginiana ‘Magic Fountain’
This tree is an unusual ornamental weeping form of our native persimmon. It bears
round 1” yellow fruits that are edible by birds, wildlife and humans. After the reddishyellow autumn leaves fall, the fruit looks like large crabapples hanging into winter.
American Hornbeam: Carpinus caroliniana
This deciduous understory tree has a pleasant rounded form and features serrated,
oval, dark green leaves. It can be grown as a multi-trunk or single-trunk tree having
smooth grey bark. The spring flowers form papery catkins that hand at the ends of the
branches. Hornbeam is a moderately slow growing tree but very hardy and reliable.
Bigleaf Magnolia: Magnolia macrophylla
This magnolia is noted for its huge oblong leaves which can reach up to 30” and are the
largest simple leaves of any native North American tree. The leaves are green above
and silvery-green below. It grows in a pyramidal shape and has fragrant white flowers
in the spring. Cone-like pods develop in summer into fruit for birds.
Southern Bayberry: Myrica cerifera
Also known as Wax Myrtle, its berries were used for making candles in Colonial times.
It can be grown as a multi-branched shrub or limbed up into a small tree. This broadleaf
evergreen has glossy green leaves and inconspicuous spring flowers followed by the berries
which persist through the winter. Myrtles are useful as screening plants or informal hedges.
Sweet Bay Magnolia: Magnolia virginiana
This magnolia prefers moist soils, and unlike most other magnolias can tolerate extremely
wet and boggy soil. Its characteristics are those of most magnolias, with creamy-white,
fragrant, cup-shaped blooms, seed pods with bright red fruit, and a semi-evergreen habit.
The oval, shiny green leaves are silvery underneath.

‘Autumn Blaze’ Maple: Acer x freemanii ‘Jeffersred Autumn Blaze’
This deciduous variety is a cross between the red maple and the silver maple. It has
brilliant, long lasting, orange-red fall color, a uniform branching habit and fast growth.
This maple thrives in warm climates and will tolerate wet soil with good drainage.
SOIL TYPE
Average
White oak derives its name from its light ash-gray bark, and it matures into a substantial
deciduous tree with a wide spreading, rounded crown. The flowers are insignificant but N, FS, W
form acorns with warty caps. The variable autumn leaf color ranges from russet to red
and orange.
Oaks are tough, adaptable, long-lived and tolerant of heat, and the Nuttall Oak goes one
step farther in its ability to handle poorly drained and clay soils. This oak grows into an attractive cone form having a strong central leader. It also has the added benefit of dropping
the red-maroon autumn leaves completely within a few days.
Cherry Laurel: Prunus caroliniana ‘Compacta’
‘Compacta’ is a cultivar with smaller leaves and a smaller growth habit than traditional
laurels. The bright green leaves smell like cherries when crushed, and the fragrant white
springtime flowers attract pollinators. Small black fruits are attractive to wildlife and birds.
Eastern Redbud: Cercis canadensis ‘Appalachian Red’
Redbud is a deciduous, often multi-trunked, understory tree with a rounded crown and
stunning rose-purple spring blooms that appear on bare branches before the leaves. The
heart shaped leaves are green during the summer and then become yellow in the fall. This
cultivar is a marked by flowers that are redder than others and last a long time.
Weeping Redbud: Cercis canadensis ‘Ruby Falls’
A beautiful weeping redbud, it is small in size yet forms a dramatic shape with little
pruning. Lavender flowers sprout from red stems and last several weeks in the spring.
The heart shaped leaves that form are a maroon color, and remain through the summer
until autumn, when they change to dark green with maroon streaks.

Bald Cypress: Taxodium districhum
This long lived, pyramidal conifer can grow quite tall. Although it looks like a needled
evergreen, it is deciduous, hence its name “bald.” Although in its habitat it is often
found in wet and swampy areas, in cultivation it grows well in upland, drier areas. Soft,
feathery green needles turn orange-russet in the fall. By summer 1” cones appear.
River Birch: Betula nigra ‘Dura Heat’
River birch is a fast growing, medium sized, deciduous tree that can be grown either
as a multi trunked or single trunked tree. Pale cream bark exfoliates in papery layers
to reveal lighter inner bark. Oval, green serrated leaves will turn yellow in the fall, and
catkins droop and sway in the breeze.
Red Cedar: Juniperus virginiana ‘Burkii’
If you need a columnar tree to mass together as either a fence or a windbreak, try the
red cedar. As a substitute for other overused conifers, the evergreen cedar is very tolerant
of dry and hot conditions. The dense branches have shiny, bluish-green foliage which
becomes tinged with purple in autumn and winter.
Average
This rounded, vase-shaped tree is prized for the massive 8” clusters of white “snowball”
flowers it produces each spring. The flowers emerge pale green in the spring but quickly
turn to white. The oval leaves are glossy and remain on the tree in our area, which gives
it the distinction of being semi-evergreen.
