Description

Eagleston Holly (Ilex x attenuata ‘Eagleston’), is an evergreen hybrid holly variety cherished for its upright growth habit, dense foliage, and vibrant red berries that provide seasonal interest. This holly, a cross between Ilex cassine (Dahoon Holly) and Ilex opaca (American Holly), combines the best traits of both parent species, producing dark green, glossy leaves and a natural pyramidal form. Female plants produce clusters of bright red berries in fall and winter, attracting birds and adding a festive look to the landscape.

Eagleston Holly typically grows 15 to 25 feet tall with a spread of 10 to 15 feet, making it suitable as a specimen tree, privacy screen, or accent in foundation plantings. Hardy in USDA zones 7-9, it performs well in full sun to partial shade and is adaptable to various soil types, including sandy and clay soils, as long as they are well-draining. This tree is relatively drought-tolerant once established and can withstand hot, humid conditions.

With its naturally symmetrical form, Eagleston Holly requires minimal pruning, though it can be shaped if desired. It is resistant to pests and diseases and is generally unbothered by deer, making it a low-maintenance option for a variety of landscapes. The dense, evergreen foliage and seasonal berries make Eagleston Holly a versatile and attractive choice for adding year-round greenery, structure, and color to both formal and informal gardens.

Crepe Myrtle (Lagerstroemia spp.) is a beloved deciduous tree or large shrub known for its long-lasting, vibrant blooms, attractive bark, and minimal maintenance needs. Native to Asia, Crepe Myrtles are popular in warm climates for their showy clusters of flowers that bloom from late spring through early fall. Flowers appear in shades of pink, red, purple, white, and lavender, adding vivid color to landscapes over an extended season. The tree’s distinctive, smooth, mottled bark sheds in thin layers, revealing a handsome, polished look that adds interest even in winter. Crepe Myrtles vary greatly in size, from dwarf varieties as small as 3-5 feet tall to large trees reaching 20-30 feet, depending on the species and cultivar. They thrive in USDA zones 6-10 and prefer full sun, which promotes the best bloom production and helps prevent powdery mildew. Crepe Myrtles are adaptable to various well-draining soil types, including sandy, clay, and loamy soils, and are drought-tolerant once established, making them ideal for low-water gardens. Low-maintenance and resilient, Crepe Myrtles require only occasional pruning to remove any deadwood or to shape the tree. Pruning in late winter encourages new growth and enhances flowering. These trees are often used as ornamental focal points, in rows along driveways, or as flowering hedges in both formal and informal gardens. With their vibrant blooms, attractive bark, and adaptability, Crepe Myrtles are a favorite for adding year-round beauty and interest to landscapes, especially in Southern gardens.

Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis) is a small deciduous tree celebrated for its vibrant early-spring blooms, heart-shaped leaves, and graceful form. Native to eastern North America, this tree produces clusters of small, pea-like flowers in shades of pink to lavender that appear along the branches and trunk before the leaves emerge, creating a striking display of color. These blossoms attract pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, and are followed by dark green, heart-shaped leaves that turn yellow in the fall. Eastern Redbud typically grows to 20 to 30 feet in height with a similar spread, making it well-suited to residential landscapes, as an understory tree, or as an accent in mixed borders. It thrives in USDA zones 4-9, preferring full sun to partial shade and performing best in moist, well-draining soil, though it can tolerate a range of soil conditions, including clay. While it benefits from regular watering, Eastern Redbud is relatively drought-tolerant once established. This low-maintenance tree requires minimal pruning, usually only to remove any dead or damaged wood, ideally done in late winter. It is generally resistant to pests and diseases, though it can be susceptible to canker in very humid climates. With its early-season blooms, attractive foliage, and compact size, Eastern Redbud is a versatile tree that adds elegance and charm to gardens, parks, and streetscapes. Its vivid spring flowers and appealing form make it a favorite for adding color and structure to the landscape, especially in early spring.

Purple Vitex (Vitex agnus-castus), also known as Chaste Tree or Texas Lilac, is a fast-growing deciduous shrub or small tree prized for its spiked clusters of fragrant purple flowers. Blooming from late spring through summer, these showy, lavender-to-deep-purple flowers attract pollinators like butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, bringing life and color to the landscape. The long, slender flower spikes create a lilac-like appearance, which is why Vitex is often called “Texas Lilac” in southern regions. Purple Vitex typically reaches a height of 10 to 20 feet with a similar spread, making it a great choice for a flowering tree or large shrub in the garden. It has a naturally vase-like shape with aromatic, gray-green, palmate leaves that add texture and contrast to the landscape. Hardy in USDA zones 6-9, Purple Vitex thrives in full sun and well-draining soil and is highly drought-tolerant once established, making it well-suited to hot and dry climates. This low-maintenance plant benefits from occasional pruning in late winter to remove deadwood and encourage a bushier shape or control its size. Deadheading spent flowers can also extend its blooming period. Purple Vitex is deer-resistant, generally pest-free, and adaptable to various soil conditions, making it ideal for low-water or xeriscape gardens. With its showy purple blooms, fragrant foliage, and tolerance to heat and drought, Purple Vitex adds a bold, Mediterranean feel to the garden and works beautifully as a specimen plant, hedge, or mixed border addition.

Native to the eastern United States, the American Sycamore can grow to impressive heights, often reaching 75 to 100 feet tall with a spread of 50 to 70 feet.

This tree’s large, lobed leaves turn yellow-brown in the fall, adding seasonal interest. The American Sycamore thrives in USDA zones 4-9 and prefers full sun, although it can tolerate some light shade. It naturally grows along riverbanks, floodplains, and other areas with moist, rich soils, but it is also adaptable to various soil types, including clay and loam, and can withstand occasional drought once established. This tree is notably resilient and has a fast growth rate, making it a popular choice for large landscapes, parks, and open spaces where its size can be appreciated. Low-maintenance and tolerant of urban conditions, American Sycamore requires minimal pruning, typically only to remove any dead or damaged branches.
