Ornamental trees draw attention to themselves easily. They have features that set them apart from the rest of your landscape. It is a good idea to put them where they can be viewed closely. Otherwise the whole uniqueness of them will be lost. That uniqueness may be their color, texture, flowers, bark, or branches. They are important to have and add distinctiveness and unequaled beauty to your yard.

Weeping Japanese Maple
  • Japanese maples are primarily known for their rich red-colored leaves. They provide a steady blaze of color that will be of interest all year. Japanese maples are small, slender trees that grow very slowly. Their distinctive foliage needs full sun to keep its magnificent color. As with all specimen trees, they should be placed where they can be seen up close.

    Pom-Pom Trees
  • Pom-pom trees are, in short, topiaries. Topiaries are considered an art form by many. It is the controlling and shaping of plants or shrubs by cutting or pruning branches and growth. The can be formed from many different kinds of evergreen shrubs or small trees. Usually, from junipers or Alberta spruces. Topiaries must be trimmed at least once each year, to keep their shape.
    • Spirals
  • Spirals are topiaries that can be formed out of Alberta spruce or ,more commonly, junipers. They tend to be placed on the corner of a house or on each side of a front door. These shrubs are added to enhance the appearance of a house. For most of the plants that they are formed from, it is important to put them in full sun. Again, with all topiaries, spirals need to be trimmed at least once each year.
