A naturally compact selection, Yewtopia plum yew (Cephalotaxus harringtonia βPlaniaβ) offers dark green to emerald green needle-like foliage. "A dense grower prized for its excellent shade tolerance, it adds short structure and rich texture to the landscape and makes an ideal border or mass planting selection," says Vater. "The branches on this variety angle gently upward into an attractive, soft U-shape."
There are many reasons why someone would want to remove a tree or shrub from their landscape. "The most common reason is because of a pest or disease infestation," says Patrick Joyce, nursery manager at Longwood Gardens. "This is necessary to not only maintain aesthetics, but to prevent spreading to other plants."
If you prefer growing native plants in your landscape, flowering dogwood (Cornus florida) is a great variety to turn to. "Native to the majority of the eastern United States, dogwoods enhance curb appeal year-round, showcasing plump white, yellow or pink flowers in early spring," says Tyler Hesseltine of The Davey Tree Expert Company. "Its bright red fruit attracts birds, adding an extra touch of liveliness to any landscape."
Evergreen conifers like umbrella pine (Sciadopitys verticillata) are a timeless choice for front yards. "It has large, coarse needles that grow in whorls while the trunk gets a reddish, stringy bark," says Tyler Altenburger, arborist manager at Longwood Gardens. "Dwarf varieties are available for tighter landscapes."
Bring a burst of color to your landscape with a sprawling crabapple (Malus). "Crabapples are a curb appeal staple, with their spring flowers in red, pink, or white, followed by the colorful fruits and leaves that adorn them in autumn," says Hesseltine. "Plus, they are native to North America, making them the perfect food resource and habitat for local songbirds and pollinators." Be sure to select a variety that is labeled as disease-resistant.
A sign that spring has sprung, Eastern redbuds (Cercis canadensi) bloom before leafing out, putting on a display of showy pinkish-purple flowers. "In older specimens, they will even flower on the trunks," says Altenburger. "Various varieties are available from variegated foliage to weeping, and even ones with white blooms."
Another dogwood variety with big curb appeal, kousa dogwood (Cornus kousa) provides multi-season interest. "The kousa dogwood offers a stunning display of delicate pink or white flowers in spring, complemented with late summer fruit and reddish-purple foliage during the fall season," says Hesseltine. "This tree is a disease-resistant alternative to the flowering dogwood, ensuring its longevity and beauty for years." Water newly planted kousa dogwood deeply and regularly to promote healthy root growth.
Known for its fragrant white blooms that appear in late spring, the fringe tree (Chionanthus virginicus) produces beautiful blue-purple fruits after it flowers. "As a native tree to Eastern North America, it requires minimal maintenance, making it a hassle-free, and stunning addition to your landscape," says Hesseltine.
A hybrid of two other magnolias, saucer magnolia (Magnolia x soulangeana) will be the showstopper of your landscape come early spring. "It does well in wet conditions and will continually rejuvenate itself as it gets older by sending up new sprouts as the larger stems die or decline," says Altenburger. "They are available in many varieties with different color flowers and forms."
The foliage of paperbark maple (Acer griseum) isn't the only beautiful part of the treeβit's actually highly sought after for its bark. "Even young trees will have a golden orange-to-brown, flaky bark that only gets better with age," says Altenburger. "They are a fairly upright ornamental maple that can fit in most front yards, even when given a small footprint to grow in."
