Pear, 3 Tier Espalier

Pear varieties include Bartlett, Anjou, a 6-variety multi & a few 20th Century Asian Pears.

RARE COLLECTION- just made available

We were just given access to some very rare large specimens in a private arboretum.  Many of these are the largest available and in some cases the only ones known.  A few are even mother plants for hard to find species in the trade.  Some true beauties here!  (Only one available of each, unless otherwise noted.)

Picea sitchensis 'Papoose'  specimen

Below is a grouping of about 15 plants.  The 3 larger are Thuja occ. 'Rheingold' and the 12-14 shrubs around the base are Thuja occ. 'Golden Globe'.  These would be best sold as a grouping that we could number, enabling them to be planted back in the same positions.

Styrax japonicus- AMAZING!!

One of, if not the most, impressive Snowbell specimens we've ever come across.  The size and overall habit are amazing on their own, and then you notice the trunk!!  It looks like it was poured from liquid wood.

Acer p.d. 'Emerald Lace' cascading

We've been training some Acer p.d. 'Emerald Lace' to cascade, creating ideal plants for water features or dry rock features.  Some are already 9'+ long and ready to augment your hardscape.  The first photo below shows an established plant (not for sale) utilized in a landscape.  The following photos are the ones on-site at Jaycee Newman that are available now.

The delicate foliage of the tiny leaves allows the tree to create a trailing effect; almost like the branches are flowing like liquid...

We also have a handful of smaller ones that have 5/6' spreads on them already!!

RARE Contorted Purple Beech

We have a very limited quantity of Fagus syl. 'Tortuosa Purpurea'. The twisting/contorting branching structure of this rare variety assures that no two specimens are ever alike.  Each develops its own unique character with time and evolves into a very impressive, unique focal point in the garden.

Fagus syl 'Cristata'- rare old variety

In cultivation since the 1800's, this rare form is still extremely hard to come by.  Fagus syl. 'Cristata' can eventually become a 20-30' tree, but is very slow growing so this 12/14'H x 5/6' will be easily manageable in your garden for quite a long time.  The non-beech like leaves cluster together on congested, contorted clumps.

Ultra-rare weeping Nyssa

This Nyssa sylvatica 'Autumn Cascade' is approx 6/7'H x 6/7'W with a 3.5" caliper.  This rare form has a strong weeping habit with leaves that are slightly larger and more rounded than the species; still glowing bright red/orange in the fall.  Mature height is about 10/12'H x 8/10'W.

Sheared Hollies & Boxwoods

Ever-growing in popularity are evergreen hedges and accents.  We recently came across a very limited number of incredible sheared hollies.  These monsters will create a dramatic impact all year round. Heights range from 3' no nearly 6' high; some are 4'wide!

  We also have some cylindrical 5/6' tall Boxwoods we've been shearing for a few years, as well as some 3/4' globes that are almost ready too.

Professionally pruned SPECIMEN Laceleafs

Finding mature laceleaf Japanese Maples with nice form is hard enough, but to come across some that have been professionally pruned is very exciting!  We have seven 'Ornatum' specimens that are 40+ years old with incredible branching structure.  They range from 6-10'H, some with 16' spreads.  .

HUGE Acer p.d. 'Contorta' SPECIMEN

You have large green laceleafs, and then you have HUGE green laceleafs.  This is one of the most spectacular Viridis specimens we've ever come across.  It measures approx 12/13'H x 14/15'W !!

Acer p.d. 'Green Filigree' SPECIMEN

A very unique plant in both leaf texture and habit.  We've done some very light training to expose the amazing inner branching structure of this specimen.  This variety isn't very common, especially one of this size and form.

Monster Taxus!!

With evergreen hedging constantly in demand, it's becoming harder to find material of larger size.  In most cases, homeowners want instant privacy and that generally requires a plant of at least 6' to accomplish.  We just found some beautiful Yews that are 7/8'; some are in the 8/9' range too!

Amazing Acer p. 'Bloodgood' SPECIMENS

The old trusty standby of Japanese Maples.  Usually we wouldn't feature these, but we have some spectacular specimens that we felt needed to be showcased.  These are in the 12-16'H&W range; some with 4-5" calipers.  We have 14 available now and can summer dig if needed.

Taxus x m. 'H.M. Eddie'

One of the best options for an evergreen hedge is the classic Eddie's Yew.  These upright shrubs have soft dark green needles and are hardy to Zone 4.  'H.M. Eddie' is a fruitless (no red berries) variety that can get up to 15' if left alone.  Most gardens keep them much shorter and denser and we've given them a jump-start on this by shearing them to create some beautiful plants that are very dense already for their size.  We have them ranging from 3-5', with a handful of 7-8' Specimens available too.  The specimens are great for end caps.

The next 2 photos show the 7/8' Specimens.  These are great as end caps for a hedge row; or use a few together for a instant tall hedge.  We have 10 available now, but they'll go quickly.

Prunus fr. 'Globosa'

Need that perfect tree to accent a smaller Allee?  Or looking for a natural topiary for a formal garden or entrance?  Prunus fruticosa 'Globosa' is a perfect choice.  We recently located some of these and the row in the field gives you an idea of the formal options you can create with this plant.  Hardy in Zones 3-8.
