Zmatlik Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis ‘Zmatlik’)
Thuja occidentalis ‘Zmatlik’ is medium green throughout spring and summer, but in winter, as temperatures fall, it puts on its winter coat of intense plum-bronze. The winter color is very dramatic and adds to the already interesting texture of this hardy narrow column. Small, scale-like sprays of foliage twist and curl creating a densely foliaged plant than can be enjoyed as a single specimen or planted as a screen. Found as a seedling by Mr. Zmatlik in the Czech Republic in 1984. Mature size: 15’H x 4’W Zone 3
Uncle Fogy Jack Pine (Pinus banksiana ‘Uncle Fogy’)
Wildly undulating, pendulous branches give unique character to every Pinus banksiana ‘Uncle Fogy’ we grow. Plants bend and swoop to create a curvy, living sculpture decorated with resinous winter buds. This collector’s plant, first discovered in a garden in Richfield, Minnesota, seems to be a reference to everyone’s eccentric relative. Extremely hardy and adaptable, it tolerates heat, cold and dry, sandy or poor soils. Mature Size: 12’H x 8’W Zone 2
Dwarf Bright Gold Japanese Yew (Taxus cuspidata ‘Dwarf Bright Gold’)
Each soft yellow needle has a bright green striation along its length, which produces a great color combo. The mid-size conifer has an upright branching habit that is wider than tall. Although very hardy, the foliage appreciates protection from scorching summer sun. Mature size: 6’H x 12’W Zone 4
Procumbens Blue Spruce (Picea pungens ‘Procumbens’)
The exciting and unique Picea pungens ‘Procumbens’ develops into a spreading, undulating ground cover. Performs best in a sunny location. Thrives in the coldest, harshest climates. Outstanding when allowed to wander among and over rocks and stone walls. Mature size: 2’H x 10’W Zone 2
Autumn Moon Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis ‘Autumn Moon’)
A dense, rounded plant with upright fans of canary yellow foliage, ‘Autumn Moon’ stays uniform and tidy without developing an oval, upright habit like other yellow forms found in the marketplace. Can be planted in a row to make a stunningly colorful border or for individual color spots throughout the landscape. Mature size: 3’H x 3’W Zone 4
