new trees.

Two new trees arrived in our yard today.
A Red Maple & a pink flowering Kwanzan cherry. Welcome to the yard, we hope you are happy in your new homes.

The
October Glory Red Maple tree, Acer rubrum ‘October Glory’, is one of
the best and most popular of the Red Maple cultivars. October Glory Red
Maple trees are excellent for intense fall color and have a medium to
fast growth rate. In the spring, red flowers in dense clusters form
before the leaves. This Red Maple is an excellent tree for lawn or
street planting.

The ‘October Glory’ Red Maple has a good
oval-rounded form. It tends to hold its lustrous dark green leaves late
into fall. The intensity of the brilliant orange to red fall color is
worth the wait. October Glory Red Maple trees have a dense oblong head
with dark green foliage.

The
Kwanzan Flowering Cherry tree, Prunus serrulata "Kwanzan", is one of
the most popular cultivars of the flowering cherry trees. This
deciduous tree rapidly grows to  height of 20 to 30 feet.  The blooms
are a clear pink, double flower (multiple petals like a carnation).
The blooms tend to last 3 weeks, yielding to a light green foliage with
a red tinge.

The Kwanzan flowering cherry tree is also known as
a Japanese flowering cherry tree. The leaves turn to a reddish-copper
fall color. A beautiful ornamental flowering tree.
