Red Maple Tree (Acer rubrum) Red Maple Tree: Acer rubrum, formerly Acer sanguineum, or the common name red maple, is an American native deciduous tree species. TN Nursery hears from customers who seek this stunning tree as a shade tree, accent tree, or specimen in their gardens. It grows in almost every region of the contiguous United States. Other names for the red maple tree include the following: Carolina Maple Curled Maple Scarlet Maple Soft Maple Swamp Maple Where (and How) to Plant Your Red Maple Tree The red maple tree is relatively easy to care for. You will meet its critical needs when you plant it. It starts with location --select a sunny site that will receive at least six hours of daily sunshine. The partial sun will also suffice, although the colors may be less brilliant. This species adapts to many soil types but requires the soil to have woody material when you plant it. Think of the growing conditions in its native woods--which makes perfect sense! Amend the soil with hardwood mulch, peat moss, compost, or leaf litter. After planting, you will only need to mulch around the tree once in spring and again in the fall. Once planted, the seedling needs about an inch of water every week, especially during the hottest summer days. However, the red maple tree will become drought-tolerant after the roots grow strong and healthy. The Tall and Handsome Looks of the Red Maple Tree The red maple tree can grow tall--up to 120 feet and with a 50-foot wide canopy. The trunk can be upward of six feet in diameter! It is certainly impressive when it reaches its mature size. Early spring brings large, showy magenta or bright red flowers that grow in charming clusters. They are a welcome sight and one of the earliest bloomers of spring. The blossoms have a light, floral fragrance that signals the arrival of spring. The leaves unfurl in a soft green in the spring and deepen to a dark green shade. Leaves are three-lobed and can measure six inches long and two to four inches across. In the later part of the summer, the color changes again to a rich copper or red--giving the tree its name.

Grow Your Own Almond Trees Non-Pareil Almond Producing Trees Shipped in 2-4 Feet Almond tree seeds are an excellent choice for those who want to grow their food. They require little maintenance and are easily managed. Growing this tree from seed, however, can seem a bit daunting. Grow Your Own Almond Trees • This nut tree produces almonds. It seems obvious, but it bears repeating. That's what they're known for, and that's what you'll be harvesting if you plant them successfully. Almond Tree Uses • Its seeds are relatively easy to find. Although you might have to look a little more complicated than your usual grocery store might stock them, finding almond tree seeds is pretty easy if you know where to look. You can often find them at either local hardware stores or nurseries, although the chances of finding an exceptionally high-quality brand increase dramatically as you start looking in specialty stores. • They are very delicious and nutritious. In addition to tasting great, they have a variety of health benefits. They have been shown to have antioxidant properties, and because they are high in protein yet low in fat, they are perfect for you. • Fruits and nuts. When you grow it, you don't just enjoy the trees that produce them--you also get all the other fruits that almond trees bear. These include peaches, apples, and cherries. • Its trees can be grown indoors or outdoors. You can start with a tree seedling and grow it in a pot or a garden. They need to be given abundant sunlight, so if you plan on growing them indoors, you will have to purchase a new pot every few years as they grow. • You can buy the trees that are already started. There are many advantages to buying a potted tree that is already accustomed to its surroundings. It's much more likely to live for many seasons than one just planted straight into the ground. • Its trees are adaptable and tolerant of most conditions. Although it's possible that the trees you buy might not survive the first year, it's also likely that they will do much better than those bought from a local nursery.

It's also cold-tolerant and able to withstand short bouts of frigid temperatures. Where to Plant the Red Dogwood Tree in Your Yard The red dogwood tree is a sun lover who wants to bask in the sunshine on those first warm spring days. The sun helps it produce those showy flowers early in the growing season; that sunny spot is a must. It is an excellent ornamental that can be an understory tree near taller species, provided it does receive adequate sunshine. It can also be a focal point anywhere you want a beautiful showpiece for your yard. It likes fast-draining, woody soil. When you plant your seedling, de-compact the soil, amend it with some hardwood mulch or compost and give it an inch of water per week. Once its root system strengthens, a red dogwood tree will require little care from you except twice-yearly fertilizing (spring, after blooming and fall) and mulching around the base to protect the roots from the winter cold. The Majestic Look of the Red Dogwood Tree A central trunk breaks off into multiple graceful, sturdy branches with attractive light brown bark. In the spring, the buds are among the first signs of warm weather. They open up into showy, four-petalled flowers that can measure as large as four inches across.

Weeping Willow Tree (Salix babylonica) Weeping Willow Tree, Salix babylonica, is a graceful tree famous for its long, drooping branches and dense light green leaves. When TN Nursery customers seek advice on a fast-growing tree, the weeping willow tree is a typical recommendation. This species can grow up to two feet in a single growing season--faster than most others. Salix babylonica is an Asian native species that American gardeners and landscapers in almost every USDA plant hardiness zone adopted the species over the past many decades. As a result, it's now naturalized to the United States and is ubiquitous across our landscape. This deciduous shade tree is intriguing and lovely, making it a favorite for many. The Weeping Willow Tree Can Help Fight Soil Compaction Like many other tree species, the weeping willow prefers well-drained soils in either full sunshine or partial shade. However, the weeping willow tree might help lessen your trouble if you struggle with soil compaction. The tree has an extensive root system that is relatively shallow but spread as far as fifty feet wide. As your tree grows, the roots will shoot underground in every direction, acting as a subterranean tiller and de-compacting the earth from below its surface. As a result, your ground will absorb rainwater better due to the loosened texture instead of running off in torrents that would eventually cause soil erosion. The Whimsical Appearance of the Weeping Willow Tree The weeping willow tree captures the imagination--you can almost picture sweet little storybook gnomes living beneath its branches. The fifty-foot tree can also get as wide as forty feet. It forms an asymmetrical crown that's rounded. The tree's trunk is dark brown to charcoal with interesting furrowed patterns. The branches display lovely silvery green, elongated oval leaves that measure four to six inches long and a half-inch wide. After maturing, this tree may only require occasional pruning to remove branches that could crack under the weight of the lovely foliage.  Order Your Weeping Willow Tree From TN Nursery Today The weeping willow tree is a lovely, graceful tree with a shorter stature but profuse greenery.

Pecan Tree Pecan Tree:  The stately pecan tree can soar as high as seventy feet to a hundred feet and have a trunk diameter of six feet. The pecan tree displays alternate leaves in thick clusters of nine to fifteen leaflets, creating a shady green oasis on a hot summer day. They are a specimen that proudly dots the landscape across the southern United States, especially the southeast region, But the impressive size and priceless beauty are not why most people reach out to TN Nursery to order a pecan tree.

Southern folks give pecans as gifts, use them for baking, or crack them and snack on them. However you wish to use them, it all starts with a healthy pecan tree. Pecan Trees Don't Require Much Care You will find that pecan trees don't ask for much care from you if you are within a hardiness zone that supports their growth. They need a warm, humid climate and full sunshine--or a partially sunny spot that receives at least six hours of filtered sun each day. Besides that, you need well-amended, loosened soil. It is less fussy about the soil type, as long as you break up any soil compaction before planting your bare root plant; decompaction will help it establish a healthy root system. You'll also need to water the sapling as necessary, especially during the hottest and driest summer days. Once your pecan tree is off to a healthy start, you will do little else. An established pecan tree is drought tolerant and will even thrive through dry spells. A young, healthy specimen should grow relatively quickly at a pace of one to two feet per year. Around year six, you will begin the reap the reward of an abundance of pecans. The pecan tree is hardy and can live for as long as three hundred years.

Muskogee Crepe Myrtle Muskogee Crepe Myrtle: TN Nursery sells hundreds of crepe myrtles annually, but the hands-down customer favorite pick is the Muskogee crepe myrtle. The vibrant lavender to purple flowers provides luscious, vivid color that will brighten up the mid-summer landscape. The blossoms are long-lasting, displaying outrageous color for four to six weeks. Despite its height (up to thirty feet), the Muskogee crepe myrtle is a shrub, not a tree. Gardeners also love this shrub for its easy-care nature. All you will do when you receive your sapling is find a nice, sunny spot, fertilize it, and give it about an inch of water per week. Watch how fast it will grow! Why Gardeners Adore the Muskogee Crepe Myrtle For starters, the Asian native species is well-adapted for growing in the moderately warm USDA growing zones. It is a particular favorite of gardeners in the southeastern United States. It is also a resilient, healthy species. It's both cold-hardy and heat-hardy, which likely lends to its prevalence in the upper south, which experiences sub-freezing overnight winter temperatures and blistering heat during the summer. It's also resistant to pest damage, disease, and mildew. The Muskogee Crepe Myrtle Is Stunning Year Round The cheerful purple color spreads across the southeastern region during the peak summertime heat. That's when enormous clusters of dainty lavender to purple florets emerge. These large clumps of flowers create the look of a single, vast flower. If you don't prune it, the crepe myrtle has multiple upright branches that form a sprawling shrub shape. However, some gardeners choose to prune the shrub during its first few seasons, encouraging it to grow straight, tall, and tree-like The glossy, oval, two-inch green leaves are bountiful. They are numerous and thus create a lush and shady canopy. The bark is light gray, and while it's not entirely smooth, it is not rough, either. The bark sheds yearly, peeling from the trunks in the late summer. Those stunning red crepe myrtle flowers become a blessing for birds: one-inch or smaller brown fruits that will release many seeds. Muskogee Crepe Myrtle Attracts Songbirds and Insects Pollinating insects find the lovely purple blossoms highly attractive. You will almost certainly see many species--bees, moths, dragonflies, and butterflies--enjoying the nectar your Muskogee crepe myrtles provide. After worms and insects retire for the winter, birds have difficulty finding sustenance. Those brown fruits are an ideal food source. Watch the birds flock to your crepe myrtle to open the pods and feast on those seeds.

Kwanzan Cherry Tree (Prunus kanzan)   Prunus kanzan is better known as the Kwanzan Cherry Tree. This glorious flowering deciduous tree is a small, highly ornamental tree that most gardeners purchase from TN Nursery for the breathtaking, colorful flowers in the spring.  The Kwanzan cherry tree is a Japanese native species. However, American gardeners adopted its use over a century ago, making it a familiar favorite nationwide.  The Kwanzan cherry tree flourishes in the warmer USDA plant hardiness zones.

It needs full sunshine or partial shade and about one inch of water per week.

Besides loving the heat, it is drought-tolerant, pest-resistant, and disease-resistant.  TN Nursery customers plant this tree as a stand-alone specimen; to accentuate a driveway or sidewalk; as a patio tree; in a pollinator garden, or anywhere to enjoy its springtime pink blossoms.  The Kwanzan Cherry Tree Abounds in Beauty  Despite the name "cherry," most gardeners cultivate the Kwanzan cherry tree for its inherent beauty, not its fruit.
