🌳 Tree of the Week: Tricolor Beech (Fagus sylvatica 'Roseomarginata')🌳

The Tricolor Beech is one tree that will turn heads all season long. Your neighbors will all be asking "What IS that!?" It's considered one of the most beautiful ornamental trees and is becoming increasingly popular. Its stunning foliage emerges deep purple and is edged with shades of rosy pink and creamy white, creating a colorful display that looks almost like hand-painted artistry. No two leaves are exactly alike. In the autumn, the leaves shift to a coppery-bronze color before dropping.

This Beech cultivar is slower-growing, and develops into a stunning specimen tree with a flowy canopy and smooth gray bark that adds soft winter interest after the richly colored leaves have fallen. It does like sun, but will perform best in a location with protection from harsh afternoon sun and prefers moist, well-drained soil. The variegation in the leaves will display a much greater contrast and really pop if the soil pH is slightly more on the acidic side. It will reach 30 feet tall and 20 feet wide at maturity.

Its slower growth rate (only adding 6-12 inches per year on average) makes it a great ornamental specimen because it stays manageable for a long time.

We currently have a nice selection of vibrant Tricolor Beech trees available - stop by and see their incredible foliage in person!

Now blooming: Horsechestnuts! 🌸💮

These trees are stunning when they're in peak bloom, and they grow into beautiful shade trees. The white flowering cultivar is Baumann (Aesculus hippocastanum 'Baumannii'), and the pink flowering cultivar is Fort McNair (Aesculus × carnea 'Fort McNair').

Standard horsechestnuts are known for being messy and dropping loads of spiky burrs in the fall with inedible nuts, but not these two. Baumann is sterile, and Fort McNair is considered nearly sterile...which, in this case, means you can have your cake and eat it too!

🌸 Tree of the Week: Tinkerbelle® Lilac Tree 🌸

This beautiful ornamental is small, but full of fragrance and classic lilac charm! It is a cute, dwarf lilac cultivar grafted into tree form. In mid to late spring, its deep pink buds open into clusters of soft pink, highly fragrant blooms that attract bees, butterflies, and plenty of attention from passersby. This cultivar's compact size makes it perfect for smaller landscapes, patios, foundation plantings, or as a colorful focal point in the spring garden.

Tinkerbelle® is bred for cold hardiness in northern climates, and thrives in Michigan landscapes. It does best in full sun with well-draining soil. Unlike older lilac varieties that can become large and leggy over time, this cultivar stays compact and tidy, while still giving an impressive floral display and that classic lilac fragrance everyone loves. At maturity, it reaches 4-6 feet tall and 4-5 feet wide, and it can be pruned shortly after flowering if shaping is desired.

Stop by the nursery and see (and more importantly, smell) our beautiful Tinkerbelle® lilac trees! They will be in full bloom this week!

Pawpaw trees here in the mitten are notoriously late to leaf out in the spring. Sometimes you won't see signs of life until mid-May, with full foliage often not appearing until early June. They are one of Michigan's last native trees to break dormancy - so don't fret if yours still look asleep or even dead! It's still early, and we've had a cold year so far.

This is especially true for pawpaws you may have just planted last year that are still just getting their root systems established.

This little tree is a great example. One of our staff members planted this seedling last year. At first glance, it looks like it didn't make it through the winter. Once you get closer, you can spot its first (and currently only) tiny little leaf starting to emerge for the season.

In the third photo, another seedling planted nearby is showing a few more tiny leaves starting to unfurl. Some just wake up slower than others! These photos were taken yesterday (May 6th).

Another successful grafting seminar in the books! We had a great turnout and everyone went home with their own little grafted fruit trees and a new skill! It was a little cold outside, but the patio heaters kept things cozy.
