Tree Abies fraseri [Frasier Fir] Can suffer in hot, dry situations, but performs better in drier conditions than Abies balsamea (Balsam Fir). This species has become a popular Christmas tree.
Tree Abies koreana [Korean Fir] This fir is slightly more heat tolerant than others, but still does best in cold climates.
Tree Abies nordmanniana [Nordmann Fir] In the wild, this species can reach over a staggering 200'. Many uses for this tree are for spacious parks and screening.
Tree Acer buergerianum [Trident Maple] Needs training to develop single central leader (if that is desired). Popular street tree in Japan. Cold hardiness varies in seed produced stock. In some cases, fruit set is so high as to deplete foliage. Flaking bicolor bark in gray-brown and orange.
Tree Acer campestre [Hedge Maple] Transplants easily. Pruning may be needed to limb up branches to create a shade or patio tree. Tolerates severe pruning and soil compaction. Can be pruned to become a giant hedge.
Tree Acer × freemanii [Freeman Maple] Stemming from its Silver Maple parentage, this hybrid is an extremely fast grower and tolerant plant, able to withstand drought conditions and heavy soils, which the Red Maple, its other parent, cannot. However, the Freeman Maple has more of the strength in wood of the Red Maple.
