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.

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.

Native to North America, this tree is known for its brilliant red, orange, or yellow foliage in the autumn, as well as its red flowers, seeds, and twigs in early spring, which add subtle color even before the leaves emerge.

They thrive in USDA zones 3-9 and adapt well to full sun or partial shade.

Palo Verde (Parkinsonia spp.), often called the "green stick" tree, is a unique, deciduous tree native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico, admired for its vibrant green bark and ability to thrive in arid desert environments. Its green bark is an adaptation that allows the tree to perform photosynthesis even when its small, delicate leaves are shed during dry periods, helping it conserve water and sustain itself in extreme climates. In spring, Palo Verde produces abundant clusters of bright yellow flowers that attract pollinators, creating a vivid seasonal display. Several common varieties of Palo Verde are known for their distinct characteristics and adaptability. The Blue Palo Verde (Parkinsonia florida) features bluish-green bark, larger leaves, and grows up to 30 feet tall and wide. The Foothill Palo Verde (Parkinsonia microphylla) has smaller leaves, a more compact form, and reaches about 20 feet in height and width. The popular hybrid ‘Desert Museum’ Palo Verde (Parkinsonia x 'Desert Museum') combines the best traits of its parent species, growing rapidly to about 30 feet tall and 40 feet wide, producing larger flowers and featuring a thornless structure. Palo Verde trees thrive in full sun, requiring at least six hours of direct sunlight daily and performing best in well-draining soils, including sandy and rocky types. While they are highly drought-tolerant once established, young trees benefit from regular watering to develop strong root systems. Palo Verde requires minimal maintenance, with pruning mainly done to remove dead or crossing branches. Ecologically, these trees support desert ecosystems by providing food and habitat for wildlife and serving as nurse plants for young cacti. Recognized as the state tree of Arizona, the Palo Verde adds beauty and resilience to desert landscapes with its striking green bark, seasonal yellow blooms, and essential role in supporting desert life.
