Forsythia - Northern Sun - Tree form
The Northern Sun Forsythia-Tree form, Forsythia 'Northern Sun', is a hardy Forsythia with huge bright yellow flowers in early spring before the foliage appears. The medium green foliage, on arching branches, is attractive all season. The tree form Forsythia makes a great vertical accent in a border or as a foundation plant. The clear yellow flowers, 3/4" wide and 1" in length, appear before foliage in late April. A vigorous grower, it is adapted to a wide range of soils and has no serious pests. It is best planted in full sun to encourage free flowering. It is specifically recommended for landscape use in Minnesota and other northern areas where common Forsythias are not reliably hardy. Renewal pruning is useful to keep the plant shorter and more compact. ... get more information
Double Flowering Plum The Double Flowering Plum, Prunus triloba, is a handsome, hardy, vigorous growing small tree. This plum is noted for its double, bright pink flowers produced in profusion in April and May. The flowers have both male and female organs and are pollinated by insects. This hardy plant thrives in a well-drained moisture-retentive loamy soil. It succeeds in sun to partial shade, but does best in full sun. Any pruning is best done soon after the plant has flowered. Plant as a specimen plant or in a buffer strip. |
