Bellflower, Dalmation

Common name:Bellflower, Dalmation

Pine, White

Common name:Pine, White
Botanical name:Pinus strobus

This fine-textured pine is handsome in both form and color. The needles grow in groups of five, and the cones are slender and often have a curved shape. It is quite an ornamental tree, especially the young trees, whose bark is smooth and gray. Pines are highly combustible plants. This plant is fire-prone! Please use caution when planting near your home.

Cypress, Leyland

Common name:Cypress, Leyland
Botanical name:Cupressocyparis leylandii

The Leyland Cypress is easy to grow, and will become a tall, evergreen tree with a dense crown that is conical to columnar in shape. While its leaf form, size and shape resemble those of the Cupressocyparis nootkatensis, its branchlets are finer, longer and more slender. It combines well with broadleaf evergreens, low junipers, and barberry.
