Arborvitae - Sherwood Moss
The Sherwood Moss Arborvitae, Thuja occidentalis 'Sherwood Moss', is a dwarf, cone-shaped Arborvitae with unusual soft, feathery foliage. It requires sun and deep, well-drained soil. The unique texture makes this a very unusual variegated plant that shines in winter with its bronze winter color. It is not a globe, not a pyramid, but a well shaped mound that has no equal. Arborvitae is one of the most versatile, easy-to-grow evergreens suited to cold, northern landscapes. They are often used as specimen plants, hedges, foundation plantings and windbreaks. Arborvitaes are highly adaptable plants. >/p>. ... details
Black Oak One of the main differences include its ability to thrive on poor and varied soils. Black Oak trees occur naturally on poor sandy or clay hillsides. This deciduous tree has deeply furrowed bark and on mature trees is nearly black. The thick, nearly black bark is marked with deep furrows and irregularly broken ridges. The characteristic inner bark is bright yellow to orange, hence the alternate common name of Yellow Oak. This moderately growing oak tree grows on dry uplands, slopes and ridges. It generally is inferior to that of the Red Oak. Historically, the inner bark was important for its tannin and as a source of yellow dye. |
