Pagodas like a few hours of sun, moist soil, and protection from the west. Beautiful horizontal branching and white flowers in the spring. Birds relish the blue-black fruit in August. Maroon-red fall color. Grows fast.
This is a medium-sized tree with a short trunk, broad rounded crown and milky sap that should only be pruned in late fall or winter. Leaves are up to 8” long and are variable in shape. The fruit is edible and relished by birds and other wildlife. The bark was used by the native Americans to make rope and cloth. Leaves turn bright yellow in fall. Best grown in rich, moist, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade.
Medium sized oak of the white oak group. Easily grown in moist, well-drained soils in full sun, although is relatively drought tolerant. Fruits are small oval acorns, but it may take up to 30 years for the tree to bear a first crop. Acorns are a valued food for a variety of wildlife. Leaves are not lobed, but have serrated teeth along their margin and resemble the leaves of the chestnut. Host plant for butterflies and moths.
When young, it is the ugly duckling of trees, but it turns into a beautiful swan as it matures. It has bipinnate leaves, similar to a locust and it produces 3-6 inch seed pods that stay on all winter, providing great winter interest. The leaves, as well as the seeds are poisonous. As the trees are dioecious you will need male and female trees to produce fruit. The scaly ridged bark and irregular coarse branching habit create a dramatic effect on the winter landscape. Best grown in moist, organically rich, well-drained soils in full sun. Tolerates poorer soils and drought. Avoid heavy clays. Also adapts well to urban conditions. Suckers to form colonies in the wild. The tree is late to leaf out and one of the first to drop leaves in the fall. Fall color is yellow.
