Tricolor beech tree. An excellent focal, specimen tree. It has striking, colorful foliage. The pink coloration is most vivid on new, spring growth. In our area, this tree performs well if given adequate moisture and some protection from the harsh afternoon sun. This beauty is at our Aurora location. Come say “hello” to it!!

Woolly Dutchman’s Pipevine, is a vigorous, native North American twining vine known for its large, heart-shaped leaves and unique, pipe-shaped, greenish-yellow flowers with dark purple throats. It’s a popular ornamental for trellises and fences, providing dense cover and serving as a crucial larval host plant for the Pipevine Swallowtail butterfly, but it is toxic if ingested and requires moist, rich soil and part shade.
