Shrub Abelia × grandiflora [Glossy Abelia] Glossy Abelia can develop chlorosis on high pH soils. Yearly pruning is required to remove deadwood and this plant may become leggy with age if not killed back in winter.
Tree Acer rubrum 'Autumn Flame' [Autumn Flame Red Maple] This cultivar is used for its stunning, bright red color in the fall. It is a good choice for a shade or street tree, since it can handle urban pollution. Place in wet areas for best fall color. The Autumn Flame Maple is a fruitless cultivar.
Tree Acer rubrum 'Autumn Spire' [Autumn Spire Red Maple] 'Autumn Spire' has a broad columnar form and brilliant red fall coloration. This cultivar only produces male flowers, so it is fruitless.
Tree Acer rubrum 'Bowhall' [Bowhall Red Maple] This cultivar is a great choice for wet soil areas. Its less agressive root system makes it a better choice for a street tree. The orange-red coloration brings interest in the fall.
Tree Acer rubrum 'Brandywine' [Brandywine Red Maple] 'Brandy Wine' is known for its change of fall color from light red to deep reddish-purple in mid-fall. Its shallow root system makes this tree to be a great choice for street or urban conditions. This cultivar only produces male flowers, so no fruit develops.
Tree Acer rubrum 'Sun Valley' [Sun Valley Red Maple] This rounded oval cultivar prefers moist soils, even tolerating wet soils. The Sun Valley Red Maple has red, showy flowers that bloom in March, but does not produce fruit.
Tree Indiana Native Acer saccharum ssp. nigrum [Black Maple] The Black Maple is a close relative of the Sugar Maple. Typically, Black Maples tolerate and grow in wetter soils than the Sugar Maple, but they are equally shade tolerant. Black Maples do not tolerate salts and are therefore poor street trees. This species prefers deep, uncompacted soils.
Tree Indiana Native Amelanchier arborea [Downy Serviceberry] Would grow well on a streambank. Susceptible to rust, leaf blight, powdery mildew, fruit rot, leaf minor, borers, and scale. Rarely requires pruning.
Shrub/Tree Indiana Native Amelanchier canadensis [Shadblow Serviceberry] Amelanchier canadensis, the Shadblow Serviceberry, tends to be confused with Amelanchier arborea, the Downy Serviceberry, and Amelanchier laevis, the Allegheny Serviceberry. However, A. canadensis, compared to A. arborea and A. laevis, is generally much more shrub-like (often forming thickets), flowers a week later, and produces upright flower clusters (as opposed to the pendulous racemes of A. arborea and A. laevis). The Shadblow Serviceberry is excellent for woodland plantings, naturalizing, and along stream and pond banks.…
Tree Indiana Native Amelanchier laevis [Allegheny Serviceberry] An excellent small tree for naturalizing and for very early, but short-lived, bloom. Fruits are edible and a prime source of food for birds. Can produce fruit by apomixis. Subject to the troubles of Rosaceous plants in general, including fire-blight and mites, which can be controlled, usually quite easily.
