Spruce, Colorado blue ‘Picea pungens’

A magnificent sight of silver blue-green spruce. Rated one of the most popular evergreens. It grows well while young and matures at 50-75'; 25' spread.

Spruce, Norway  ‘Picea abies’

Fastest growing of the spruces. Develops strong graceful branches that are covered with dark green needles. Ideal windbreaker. Matures at 60'; 25' spread.

Pine, White ‘Pinus strobus’

A hardy, valuable tree. Clustered soft blue-green needles. Ideal screen or windbreak. Likes moist, well-drained soils. Grows 50'- 80' with a 20-40' spread.

Boxwood (Korean) ‘Buxus microphylla koreana’

Esteemed for hedges because it can be sheared into precise shapes. Its small dark leaves create dense foliage. An excellent plant to line driveways or borders.

Green Sargent Juniper ‘Juniperus Chunensis Sargentii’

Green Sargent Juniper has a very interesting growth habit to with nice green color with just a hint of blue to it. Very hardy, and makes a good foreground planting.

Sea green ‘Juniperus Chunensis’

Compact spreader with fountain-like arching branches and dark mint green foliage. Foliage darkens in cold weather. Growing best in full sun, more open in partial shade, Juniper needs well-drained soil or it will decline from root rot. It tolerates alkaline soil and is quite drought-tolerant. Natural habitat is dry and windy with full sun exposure. It looks best in an open site with no shade during the day. This allows the foliage to dry quickly in the morning and helps prevent foliage disease from thinning the canopy. A well-drained soil is essential for good growth. Wet soil rots the roots and causes plant decline.

Juniperus horizontalis ‘Wiltoni’ Blue rug

The Juniper Blue Rug, 'Juniperus horizontalis Wiltonii', is an excellent ground cover or bank planting with it low growing thick foliage. The Blue Rug is so named because of its silver-blue color and low growing habit. Blue Rug will do well in almost any well drained soil and needs moderate moisture. This is the lowest growing of all Juniper plants and they will even cascade over walls. Prune young shoots to encourage branching, but older branches may not produce new growth.

Juniper procumbens ‘Nana’ Japanese Garden Juniper

This is the tree that is most often used for the ubiquitous "mall bonsai". In spite of this bad press, it does in fact make a fine bonsai if it is properly trained and cared for (unlike the average "mall bonsai"). This juniper has a low, spreading habit that makes it ideal for cascade and semi-cascade styles. Specimens grown in a nursery or specifically for bonsai can be used for many styles, but probably not for formal upright. In nature it grows as a small ground-cover shrub. The foliage is bright green.

Cologreen Juniper

Neat, flat-topped, evergreen shrub with striking forest-green foliage throughout the seasons. Forms a compact cone-like outline, and grows 15 to 20 feet high. Requires little pruning to maintain its form. Attractive accent, hedge or windbreak. Grows well in dry locations. Excellent cold tolerance. Susceptible to rust.

Witchiata Blue Juniper

Wichita Blue Juniper is the most common blue variety of upright Junipers. Wichita Blue has been planted in landscapes for many years and is known for having the bluest foliage of all the upright Junipers. This variety is a fairly fast grower and like most Junipers tolerates drier soil conditions.

Dwarf Mugo Pine

The Mugho Pine tree, Pinus mugo mughus, may also be called the dwarf mountain pine. This evergreen little dwarf conifer has branching, upright stems evenly covered in 2-inch-long needles of a deep, dark true green. Thanks to its low growth, mugho pine can be used at the front of a border or anywhere you want year-round greenery in conifer form. Mugho pine trees do not need special soil. In nature, it often grows in slightly rocky areas with shallow topsoil. It does require good drainage. Roots grow near the surface, so using a cover soil with a 2-inch-thick mulch to protect them is recommended. These trees are easily transplanted. They make a great landscaping evergreen tree because their shape and size are controllable by shearing.

Upright yew ‘Taxus cuspidata capitata’

Easily grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Tolerates shade and is considered to be one of the best of the needled evergreens for shady conditions. Prefers moist, sandy loams, but plants have no tolerance for wet conditions which must be avoided. Good soil drainage is essential. Tolerates urban conditions. Best sited in locations protected from cold winter winds. Tolerates pruning well. Pruning is best done in early spring, but may be done at any time. Japanese yew is a broad-columnar needled evergreen tree or multi-stemmed shrub that is native to Korea, China, Russia and Japan. In its native habitat, it will grow to as much as 30-50’ tall. Cultivated plants will grow much smaller, particularly if regularly pruned. It features linear, spiny-tipped, dark green needles (to 1” long). Leaves are often tinged yellow beneath. Foliage may turn reddish-brown or yellow in winter. Scaly, reddish brown bark. Although classified as a conifer, female yews (plants are dioecious) do not produce cones, but instead produce red, ornamentally-attractive, berry-like fruits, each having a single seed almost completely surrounded by a fleshy red aril. ‘Capitata’ is very similar to the species except that its form is more pyramidal. Female plants may produce abundant fruit that is attractive to birds. Specific epithet is in reference to the cuspidate (having a sharp pointed tip) foliage.

Hicks yew ‘Taxus media hatfieldii’

Columnar evergreen with dark green foliage. Ornamental red fruit ripens in fall. Plant in full sun to part shade. Tall-growing shrub. Grows over 6' tall. Great used as border, hedge or foundation. Can be left unpruned for years. For a natural look, prune individual branches instead of shearing every year.

Dense Yew ‘Taxus media’

A dense bushy shrub that thrives in sun or partial shade. Bushy growing habit. Prefers moist, sandy, well drained soil. In this climate, needs protection from winter sun and wind: burlap covering works well.

Browns Yew ‘Taxus media’

Dense, rounded shape perfect for hedges or foundation plantings. Dark lustrous green foliage is displayed all year. Slow growth requires little maintenance. Evergreen. Full to partial sun. To 6 to 8 feet tall, 8 to 10 feet wide. Cutting grown.

Dark green Arborvitae 'Thuja occidentalis ‘Nigra’

A dense, symmetrical, pyramidal, upright plant used as an excellent screen or hedge. Its dark green foliage shears well and remains a rich green all winter. Mature height is 15-30' with a mature spread of 3-4'. Plant in full sun.

Techny Arborvitae 'Thuja occidentalis ‘Techny’

The Techny Arborvitae, Thuja occidentalis, is a fast growing Arborvitae tree that grows well in full sun or light shade. Techny arborvitae trees are very winter hardy. This cultivar is the most resistant to winter and drought damage and is the Arborvitae of choice for tougher conditions. This beautiful evergreen species has a deep dark green color. It can be sheared to shape when used as a hedge or privacy screen.

(Box wood )Buxus ‘Green Velvet’

Best grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Prefers sun-dappled part shade and moist, sandy loams with a slightly acidic to slightly alkaline pH. Tolerant of pruning and shearing. Avoid cultivating around plants because they have shallow roots. Roots appreciate a good mulch (1-2”). Thin plants and remove dead/damaged branches annually to improve air circulation. In USDA Zones 5 and 6, this boxwood is best sited in a sheltered location which protects it in winter from strong winds and full sun. Carefully remove heavy snow accumulations as quickly as practicable to minimize stem/branch damage.

P.J.M . Rhododendron

Is a slow grower with a habit and bears an abundance of showy, vivid, light purplish-pink flowers in early April. The 'P.J.M.' group of rhododendrons are smaller, growing to a height of 3 to 6 feet tall. Form is rounded and foliage is leathery and dark green until fall when it turns almost purplish. One of the reasons the 'P.J.M.' group is such a heavy flowerer is that the plant does not set seed. An excellent rhododendron for the New England states. 'P.J.M.' rhododendrons are the result of crosses between R. carolinianum and R. dauricum var. sempervirens.
