Boys Trees

White flowers in spring, abundant, red persistent fruit in fall. Exceptionally clean foliage throughout the growing season. This tree tends to maintain a rounded growth habit, and most often grows a bit wider than it does tall, with a mature height of 18-22' and similar mature width. This tree flowers in early spring, and as pictured, buds begin as an almost crimson red, and as they open fade to pure white. The flowers give way to bright red fruit that are roughly 3/8" in diameter and persistent through the winter (providing some nice winter interest). Spring and summer foliage is green, turning amber/yellow in autumn. Click the image to read more!

Black walnut is a large deciduous tree reaching heights of 70-100 ft (21-30 m) or more. This is a vigorous, spreading tree which can develop a trunk 2-4 ft (0.6-1.2 m) in diameter, and a crown spread of 70 ft (21 m). In forest stands, black walnut usually has a long, clear bole and a small, open crown. When grown out in the open, however, it has a short trunk and a massive spreading crown. Black walnut has large, aromatic, compound leaves, 1-2 ft (30-60 cm) long. It bears rather large oval corrugated nuts that are encased in a thick, fleshy yellow-green hull. It is in flower from May to June, and the seeds ripen in October. Click the image to read more!

This well-known crab apple is a popular choice for gardens where its neat tapering shape and huge crops of conspicuous yellow fruits have made it a favourite. It is also widely planted among fruiting apple trees because its lavish display of white flowers is a prolific source of pollen for fertilising the other trees. One of the best of all crabs, its branches bend under the weight of fruit, which can be used for culinary purposes or may be left on to last all autumn and part of the winter too. Supplied at approx 150-180cms in 10 Litre containers. Click the image to read more!

Clusters of white flowers appear in spring and are followed in autumn by small yellow berries, which birds love. An outstanding small tree which can tolerate a wide range of soils and conditions.

With its pyramidal shape, soft grayish-green (or blue) needles and drooping branches, this cedar makes a graceful specimen or accent tree. Growing rapidly to 40 to 50 feet tall and 20 to 30 feet wide, it also works well as a soft screen. The trunk stays fairly straight with lateral branches nearly horizontal and drooping. Lower branches should be left on the tree so the true form of the tree can show. Allow plenty of room for these to spread. The tree has been successfully used as a street or median planting with lower branches removed. It appears to tolerate compacted, poor soil but declines in areas where smog is a problem. Plant on 20-foot-centers to create a canopy of blue foliage over a small residential street. This is probably the best true cedar for the South. Click the image to read more!
