Plants

Spiraea betulifolia 'Tor'

[Tor Birchleaf Spirea]

Spiraea japonica 'Little Princess'

[Little Princess Spirea]

Grows larger and faster than species

Symphoricarpos albus

[Common Snowberry]

Useful as a bank cover or large scale groundcover. Transplants well. This plant has a beautiful fruit show and is shade tolerant, however, it is also a twiggy, "garbage can plant" (collects leaves and blowing debris); this quality (especially prominent in the fall and winter) limits its usability in the landscape.

Symphoricarpos orbiculatus

[Coralberry]

Taxus × media 'Adams'

[Adams Intermediate Yew]

Thuja occidentalis

[Eastern Arborvitae]

One of the best plants for screening in moist, well-aerated soils. Bagworms can be a problem. Subject to several other insect pests, all of which usually can be controlled with timely spraying. Deer may feed on foliage. Winter color can be poor.

Thuja occidentalis 'Congabe'

[Fire Chief Globe Arborvitae]

Thuja occidentalis 'Degroot's Spire'

[Degroot's Spire Arborvitae]

Thuja occidentalis 'Golden Globe'

[Golden Globe Arborvitae]

Dwarf cultivar with a dense globe like form and golden-yellow foliage.

Tilia americana

[American Linden]

Very adaptable, even in alkaline soil, but does not tolerate much air pollution. Too big for most urban landscapes. Japanese beetles like feeding on it.
