These are big trees and are suitable for walk-in customers only.

Cornus kousa Angel Wings, a new introduction, blooms after the dogwood above. White flowers rise above elongated leaves. In September cherry size red fruit appear. Standing about 5 feet tall now, they are on sale for $79 (regular price $115). They are slender and may be packaged and shipped.

Japanese Maples On Sale

Acer palmatum

Sekka yatsubusa - The name translates “dwarf that turns red.” Leaves grow along slender stalks in tight groupings (but not as bunched as in the Lion’s Head Maple). Spring foliage is first red and then is edged with red. Sekka yatusubusa will grow to about 8 feet (About half that size as a container tree) and will take lots of sun. Cultivars almost 18" tall are on sale for $27.

Wilson’s Pink Dwarf - This image, taken recently, shows spring foliage emerging in tones of fresh pink and orange. Summer leaves are a light, bright green. Early to leaf out, Wilson’s Pink makes a charming container subject or rock garden focus. It is a slow growing, upright dwarf.
Young trees, under a foot tall, are on sale for $27.

Fantasy Insects, Sculptures- Through Spring 2010

A multitude of enormous welded spiders crawl among brightly colored foliage in the garden gallery. These awesom arachnids range in size from 12" by 12" to 3.5 ft. tall with legs stretching out 9 ft. in length.

The artist, David Mudgett started his own metal fabrication business in 1986. His peers encouraged him to to apply his gift for metalwork to sculpture. Upon completion of his first piece it became clear he had found the creative freedom that he was looking for. David now enjoys sculpting full time. A perfectionist by nature, David comments: "Each piece—no matter how large—receives meticulous attention to detail."
