Deciduous trees can offer so many aspects to a garden. The form of the tree, flowers in the springtime, foliage shape and size, spring and fall foliage colors, bark texturre and color, and winter structure. And because they go dormant in the winter, they can be grown in colder climates. Many gardens are smaller these days, so smaller trees are desirable. We are offering many unusual and interesting trees that can be a delight to your garden or landscape. We hope you find a favorite.
