TREES AND SHRUBS

There's more than one way to add seasonal color!

Flowering and berry-bearing plants add fresh interest to the fall garden. Graceful Eucryphia 'Nymansay', left above, is a little-known autumn flowering tree. Its upright form and evergreen foliage make it a great structural plant, but now is when it shines. As with so many New World plants, this hybrid between two Chilean species was first appreciated in Britain, where it won its first Order of Merit in 1924.

Purple-berried Callicarpa, next to it, shows why it won the common name 'Beautyberry'. Not in the mood for purple? Try viburnum, barberry, or one of many other shrubs for berries in shades ranging from white to blue to red to orange.

And - never forget your fall-blooming camellias. Our best supply of sasanqua camellias is arriving this month! Shop now for best selection - plant for an immediate display.
