(Falcate Yellowwood, Henkel's Yellowwood)
With shiny green foliage that looks like small sickles, Henkel's yellowwood adds a fine-texture to the landscape, either as a specimen, allee or hedgerow.

(Ming Aralia)

(Hardy Orange)
Densely filled with spiny branches and three-lobed leaves, hardy orange also bears lemon-flavored, small golden fruits that persist into winter. A large shrub to small deciduous tree that is rounded, it is native to northern China and Korea. The fruits are loaded with seeds and will self-sow in landscapes, and with a viciously spined canopy, makes it difficult and unpleasant to remove. It is considered an invasive woodland intruder in some parts of the eastern United States.

From summer to frost, many white buttercup-like flowers appear with regularity. These contrast nicely with its fine, dark leaves. As branches age, they develop peeling bark.
This plant is adapted to average to poor sandy or...
