Tree	Description
White Flowering Dogwood	Trees burst into bloom in spring, smothering tree boughs in a cloud of blossoms. Even impatient gardeners will be satisfied; very young trees fill to the brim with flowers. Trees grow to 15 to 25 feet with a spread of about 10 feet. Beautiful lining a driveway or as a front yard tree. Enjoys partial shade, so you can plant it under larger trees.
Purple Robe Locust	Purple Robe Locusts are excellent street trees and provide refreshing shade for decks or patios. They are fast-growing, gaining two to three feet per year, and reach a medium tree height of thirty to forty feet. They can live for over a hundred years. When your tree matures, it will be approximately 30 - 40' tall x 25 - 30' wide.
American Redbud Supreme	Known for its showy reddish-purple blossoms, this flowering tree is one of the first plants to herald the arrival of spring. It is native to North America. This small tree provides three seasons of visual interest, with lovely heart-shaped leaves in the summer and dangling seed pods in the fall. The tree typically develops a vase shape, as the trunk will divide into multi trunks near the ground. When your tree matures, it will be approximately 20 - 30' tall x 25 - 35' wide.
EH Wilson Mimosa Tree Supreme	These mimosa trees feature fine, graceful green leaves, attractive brown pods, and clusters of large, showy, pink-fringed flowers that will attract hummingbirds and butterflies throughout the summer. This easy-care variety is fast-growing, drought-resistant, and heat-tolerant. Matures to be 30-40' tall and 20-25' wide.
Kay Parris Magnolia Supreme	Southern Magnolia trees are relatively fast-growing and pest-free. This Magnolia tree is drought tolerant once established but in dry hot areas, it will need some shade. The Kay Parris Magnolia grows best in organically rich, moist, preferably neutral to acid, well-drained soils. It is a low-maintenance evergreen tree that does not require routine pruning. When your tree matures, it will be approximately 15 - 25' tall x 8 - 15' wide.
Okame Cherry Supreme	The Okame Cherry tree is one of the few flowering cherries that grow and blossom in warmer zones. This ornamental tree blooms earlier than other cherries with pink, showy, fragrant flowers. The early spring blooms are so lovely, they are celebrated at the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington, DC. When your tree matures, it will be approximately 15 - 30' tall x 15 - 30' wide.
