FRUIT TREES

SUPPLIES

Root Gel—Absorbs hundreds of times its weight in water. The water

absorbed is nearly all available to the plants and results in better man-

agement of water in the root zone, significantly reducing watering

maintenance and providing a more constant supply of water to the

roots. One ounce does about 500 seedlings.

Tree Shelter—includes a grow tube ranging from 2’ - 6’

tall and appropriate SunFlex Support Stakes. These grow

tubes provide superior greenhouse benefits and natural air

flow all while offering trunk building support and 24/7 pro-

tection from animals and the elements.

Antonavka Apple—A tart apple with a strong acid flavor for fresh

eating, baking, cider or preserves. Able to sustain long harsh winters.

Winter-hardy and drought tolerant. Very heavy fruit

production after 5 years old. Excellent for food plot

and shelterbelt plantings. Apple trees grow best on

well drained, sandy loam soil. Will not grow in wet,

heavy clay or pure sand.

Crabapple—This is an excellent tree for windbreaks, wildlife habitat

and recreational plantings. They are extremely hardy

and disease resistant. Crabapples are best grown in a

sunny location with good air circulation and have no

particular soil preferences, except soil should be well-

drained. Blooms are snowy white. The leaves are dark

or olive green above and pale green below. The bark is

ridged to scaly and dark gray to reddish gray.

American Plum—Leaves are alternate and simple with sharply ser-

rate margins and prominent veins. Branches are smooth when young

but become rigid and spiny as they mature. White flow-

ers with five petals bloom in May. Fruit that forms in

late summer is red or reddish yellow in color. The fruit

size is 1.5 inches in diameter. The plum furnishes both

good habitat and food for wildlife. It produces a sweet

edible fruit which can be made into jelly.

HARDWOODS CONIFERS SMALL TREES & SHRUBS

Grey Dogwood—This tough, low-maintenance shrub offers subtle

year-round beauty. White panicles of flowers brighten

the landscape in June. White berries attract many birds

in the late summer and early fall. And the reddish-pink

fruit stems persist into the winter, adding a nice color

contrast to the gray bark.

Quaking Aspen—Known for climate and soil adapta-

bility, with gains of up to 5 feet per year, the Quaking

Aspen Tree makes a statement. Especially since it boasts

gorgeous fall color you'll love. Quaking Aspen is well-

known for thriving in cold climates and poor soil. Essen-

tial habitat for upland birds.

White Oak—Invest in a durable tree that will provide your family

with timeless beauty for generations to come. The White Oak Tree is a

classic American tree that will give your landscape a

sense of nostalgia and familiarity...this is a tree that

can grow with your family forever.

Red Oak— Matures at 60-75 ft. Fast growth rate. Full

sun is ideal. Grows in acidic, loamy, moist, sandy, well-

drained and clay soils. Prefers normal moisture, but has

some tolerance of drought, pollution and compacted

soil. Provides great fall color and acorns feed wildlife.

Tamarack—Also known as American Larch. Matures at 40-

70 ft. Needlelike leaves turn yellow and drop in fall. Very

cold tolerant, but needs full sun. Can tolerate a wide range of

soil conditions and grows well in moist to wet organic soils

(swamps).

White Spruce—Matures at 40-60 ft. Full sun is ideal. Me-

dium growth rate. Prefers acidic, loamy, moist, sandy, well-

drained and clay soils with some drought tolerance. Easy to

transplant and works well in cities or rural areas in wind-

breaks, buffer strips or visual screens. Provides shelter and

food for many kinds of wildlife.

White Pine—Transplants easily. Works well for windbreaks. Is widely

used as a Christmas tree. Features long, slender, blue-

green needles, sometimes reaching 5" in length, grown in

bundles of 5 that are soft and flexible. Produces elongated

brown cones that are 3–8" in length. Each is curved

slightly and has smooth scales. Grows in an oval, pyrami-

dal shape. Is sensitive to air pollution, road salt and soil

compaction.

Red Pine—Also called Norway Pine. Mature heights of 60

-100 ft. Does not tolerate shading. Grows rapidly. Grows

best in light, sandy, well-drained soils in areas of low fertil-

ity.

White Cedar—Matures at 40-45 ft. Full sun to light

shade. Prefers humidity and moist soil types, but tolerant

of clay and dry soils. Adaptable landscape plant with fra-

grant foliage. Excellent for hedges. Damage from browsing

deer can be common.

American Hazelnut—Nut producing shrub enjoyed by humans and

wild-life. Matures at 8 to 15 ft. with medium to fast

growth rate. Grows in most soils and is drought-

tolerant. Full sun to partial shade. Attracts deer,

grouse, turkeys, pheasants and quail. Plant in multi-

ples to ensure cross-pollination.

Serviceberry, Juneberry—Large shrubs or single-stemmed trees.

Matures up to 25 ft. Medium growth rate. Prefers loam

soils, but tolerates sand and clay. Avoid wet, poorly

drained soils. Can grow in any light, but fruits best in

full sun. Flowers in spring with delicious edible fruit in

summer.

Balsam Fir— Features a pyramid-like shape and mature to

a height of 45-75 feet and width of 20-25 feet. Will grow in

cool, moist and swampy areas. Fragrant Christmas tree and

good ornamental. Because the root system of the balsam fir is

shallow, this tree is only moderately tolerant of extreme

winds.

Sugar maple—Is a landscape standout. Medium to

dark-green leaves turn yellow, burnt orange or red in

fall. Tolerates shade, likes a well-drained, moderately

moist, fertile soil. Do not plant in confined areas or

where salt is a problem. Grows to 60' to 75', 40'-50'

spread .

Common Ninebark—Is a spreading, somewhat coarse, densely-

branched, deciduous shrub which typically grows to 6-10′ tall. Noted

for its exfoliating bark which peels in strips to reveal several layers of

reddish to light brown inner bark. Features small pink or white, flow-

ers appearing in late spring. Flowers give way to

drooping clusters of reddish fruit (inflated seed cap-

sules). Ovate to rounded, usually shallow-lobed

leaves are dark green in summer changing to an un-

distinguished yellow in fall.

Elderberry—A shrub or rarely a small tree

spreading by stolon's. Occurs in rich soil and is

scattered in bottomlands and uplands along

streams, fence rows and low places. Stems have a

thin woody layer and large white pith. Older stems

are reddish to gray with small warty protuberances. Various parts of the

plant have many domestic uses. The fruit is eaten by several bird and

mammal species. The fruit also makes excellent wine and jelly.

Paper Birch- A very hardy, native, fairly rapid grow-

ing, medium to tall tree. White bark that peels off in

strips; easy to transplant; not pollution tolerant; casts

light shade; shallow roots. White bark turns chalk-white

as tree matures, leaves are dull green. Fruit is a long-

slender green catkin turning brown with maturity.

Twigs turn dark reddish brown.

Highbush Cranberry—Matures at 8′ to 12′ tall. En-

joys partial sun. Viburnum trilobum is unusually

beautiful with its soft maple-like leaves, producing

white lace cap flowers mid-May to mid-June, followed

by bunches of shiny bright red berries by August,

which can persist into winter. Black Walnut—Yields a ripened nut crop in early to mid-autumn.

Begins to bear nuts in 12–15 years. Is prized in the woodworking

world for its handsome grain. It Is self-fertile but requires wind for

pollination. Plant more than one tree to ensure a better crop. Grows

in a rounded shape. Black walnut tree roots contain juglone, a toxic

substance released when the the roots of other ju-

glone-sensitive species come in contact with wal-

nut roots. You must keep a wide separation be-

tween the black walnut tree and susceptible plants.
