Formal is nice. (Chamaecyparis pisifera 'Boulevard' spiral. Two available!) BTW: Need container material? Even though the houses may be covered their doors are open and so are we - all winter!

    

We love growing plants - all plants. But some get us really excited like our growing selection of natives! From trees and shrubs and down to perennials - we are happy to grow these not only for your wetland and conservation plantings but also for residential and commercial properties adding food and host plants for beneficial insects and wildlife. And don't forget their seasonal charm when in flower or showing off their fall color! Need Black Willow (Salix nigra) or Northern Spicebush (Lindera benzoin)? Choke Cherry (Prunus virginiana) or New York Ironweed (Vernonia noveboracensis)? The list goes on, in fact, Peter, Dan and their team propagate and grow over 100 genera with more to be added for 2015! Curiosity peaked? Give us a call to find out more!

When you need an evergreen groundcover most people think of low-growing Junipers, but don't forget about the small leaved  Cotoneasters. They have a place in most gardens - stabilizing banks, atop retaining walls, along walkways and in containers. Streib's Findling is a variety of Bearberry Cotoneaster. Its major attributes are the evergreen foliage and the red fruit in fall. Check it out:
