Hidden Rose Apple

Hidden Rose Apple has beautiful pink flowers.

This tree also should have attractive apples.

My small Asian White Oak has started flowering this year.

This is good news, as early acorn production will help propagate more of this rare tree.

This Littleleaf Lilac has become a dependable flowering shrub in spring.

Everything on this plant is smaller than the common Old Fashioned Lilac.

Betty Magnolia is the first Magnolia of mine that has flowered.

It flowers at a very small size and has big, pink flowers.

Growing Crabapple seedlings has been productive for wildlife.

The many blossoms turn into a lot of fruit and hang into winter for the birds.

Chinese Maackia is a slow growing tree.

When breaking out of dormancy, the young leaves are a very attractive color.

Cattle Pasture has slowly disappeared on this Oasis.

The young trees are creating wildlife habitat where there was none before.

Golden Leaves can be intense or duller, depending on the cultivar and species involved.

While this Forsythia selection has leaves full of vivid color, the Lilac cultivar below is more of a subtle spectrum of colors.

Mexican Bamboo has struggled to dominate over the surrounding Brome Grass.

Mexican Bamboo has been considered invasive, but not as invasive as the Brome competition.

The Pristine Apple has been in the orchard over 10 years now without any fruit yet.

This year is looking promising though with all the flowers.
