(Garden Strawberry, Strawberry, Tristar Strawberry)

Garden strawberries are hybrid herbaceous perennials grown for their sweet, aromatic red fruit. Introduced in 1981 by the USDA Agricultural Research Center, Beltsville, Maryland, 'Tristar' is a "day-neutral" cultivar which produces relatively small, firm, flavorful strawberries from late spring until early fall (with a pause during hot weather). Like most garden strawberries, it spreads by stolons to form expanding clumps of three-lobed leaves.

Highly adaptable, 'Tristar' succeeds in many regions...

(Alder Buckthorn)

Glossy leaves and red turning deep purple-blue berries in autumn are the attractive features of the glossy buckthorn. A deciduous, hardy large shrub to small tree, it is native to much of Europe, extending into extreme northern Africa and western Asia. This plant has proven invasive in the moist soils across much of eastern North America.

With smooth grayish brown bark, the glossy green to dark green leaves add interest to the plant. Each leaf blade is oval and ends in a pronounced tip that often...

(Alder Buckthorn)

Glossy leaves and red turning deep purple-blue berries in autumn are the attractive features of the tallhedge buckthorn. A deciduous, hardy narrow shrub, it is native to much of Europe, extending into extreme northern Africa and western Asia. This upright plant has proven invasive in the moist soils across much of eastern North America, where it has lost favor since first being introduced in the 1950s.

With smooth grayish brown bark, the glossy green to dark green leaves add interest to the plant....

(Franklin Tree, Franklinia)

The Franklin tree is a plant-lover's dream addition to the garden. Native to Georgia in the southeastern United States, it is now believed extinct in the wild but is preserved and prized in gardens. This multi-trunked small tree has long, glossy green leaves in spring and summer on upright, open branches. In late summer and into autumn, beautiful white, fragrant, camellia-like flowers dot the canopy. In some climates, these flowers coincide with the fiery orange-red fall foliage. Once the leaves...

(Ash, Fan-West Ash)

The vigorous, sterile ash, ‘Fan-West’, is super tough. It thrives in poor, dry soils and also grows well in cold, windy, harsh locations. This outstanding deciduous shade tree has a strong upright central leader and broad, rounded crown with great branching. It is a hybrid between two North American natives, the velvet ash (Fraxinus velutina) and the green ash (F. pennsylvanica) that was discovered by Eddie Fanick of San Antonio,Texas as a natural seedling on the banks of the Guadalupe...
