This ôtreeö Dahlia is a vigorous and seldom encountered species that we have become quite fond of here, not only for its extreme proportions (8-12 ft.) but for its propensity to blossom early (beginning in late August here) and profusely, unlike other tree Dahlias. The single lavender blossoms are in lovely complement to the light purplish foliage; a trait that is retained for us in the Pacific Northwest during the entire summer. This must be protected from slugs when emerging in early spring.
A lovely choice for year-round interest. The opposite, trifoliate leaves have a deep green top and a shimmering silver underside well into late summer, they then slowly turn a brilliant, burnt orange-red fall color that persists into winter. The truly magnificent show, however, is from the curling, cinnamon-colored bark. Reminiscent of the madronna trees in the Northeast but without the brittle nature, birds flock to the trunks and perch themselves precariously on the peeled back bark.
A remarkable species that grows into a wide, spreading tree. It produces nodding, fragrant, white 4 inch flowers throughout late spring and early summer, followed by colorful, deep pink fruit that split to reveal orange seeds. Tolerant of light shade, though certainly able to withstand full sun in any well-drained soil. Quick to flourish and very long-lived.
The fragrant snowbell, with large, rounded leaves on stout branches zigging and zagging, drooping clusters of snow-white, scented flowers in May, and handsome, yellow autumn tones, is among my favorite of all small trees. This replaced S. japonica ecologically as we moved northward in Korea. 20 ft. x 15 ft. Full sun or partial shade.
A superb species with year-round interest, with small but profuse white, yellow-centered ôCamelliasö in early summer, handsome, somewhat glossy summer foliage transforming to exquisite tints of orange-red in autumn, undressing to reveal the crispy, exfoliating bark in tones of ground cardamom. Ultimately to 25 ft. or slightly taller, for full sun or partial shade, in acidic well-drained soil.
