Trees are a long-term investment in your landscape. Our guides cover selection, planting, establishment care, and ongoing maintenance to help your trees thrive for decades.
Eastern cottonwood is a towering native shade tree valued for its rapid growth and ability to provide shelter along streams, fields, and large open landscapes. Its triangular leaves shimmer in the breeze, and mature trees quickly create cooling shade for rural properties and restoration plantings. Because it grows large and has vigorous roots, it is best suited to spacious sites away from buildings and pipes.
Red buckeye is a small native tree prized for its bold red spring flowers and tidy, rounded form. It is especially valuable in wildlife-friendly landscapes, where its nectar-rich blooms attract hummingbirds and early pollinators. This ornamental species performs best in moist soils and can handle more shade than many flowering trees.
