European Beech has been a very slow growing tree. But the ornamental features make it a perfect addition to my yard.

Oklahoma Silver Juniper
More noticeable than the plain Eastern Red Cedar species, the Oklahoma Silver Red Cedar has silvery-blue foliage. This cultivar should work good in my Western Iowa location.
Burning Bush
The Corky Burning Bush cultivar has great fall color like the species. The branches are also very ornamental with their corkiness.
Pink Maple
Paperbark Maple not only has great bark, but fall color, too. This fall has brought a solid pink color.
The Unusual Fall
Interesting leaves are falling to the ground. Ginkgo leaves have littered the ground, while a lone Purple-leaved Sycamore Maple leaf is on top of them.
Stephanandra Tanakae
Stephanandra Tanakae is changing color right now. This is a little shrub that can root where the stems touch the ground.
Green Weeps
The forest is looking bare, but a lone Weeping Willow stands out. This fast growing hybrid tree keeps its leaves on later than most other deciduous trees.
