Better Varieties of YOUR FAVORITE Trees

Norway Spruce: "Cupressina" and "Sherwood Compact" are dwarf/upright varieties that a great for smaller spaces.

Crimson Sunset Maple: Better alternative to the Crimson King Maple. It has the stunning dark purple leaves but is noninvasive (the Crimson King can escape cultivation and become invasive in the U.S.) and this variety is better for smaller spaces or yards. The original get large rounded 40 foot spread. This is too big for most, this variety only spreads 15 feet and grow to about 30-35 feet tall.

Street Keeper Honey Locust: is better than the Skyline or other varieties planted on medians or street trees. They spread and don't look nice. This vairty is extremely upright grows 50 feet tall but spreads less than 10-15 feet.

WhiteSpire Birch: Is a great variety that has the highest resistance to the Birch borer than most others. Considarded the best variety for least Birch Borer worry!

Armstrong Red Maple: Better varity for Medians or street trees as regular Red Maples spread and get hectic and simply don't look attractive. This variety is extremely upright. Grows 40 feet tall by less than 10 feet wide.

Fastigiata Ginkgo or Princten Snetry Ginkgo are better for Street or median landscaping as they spread less than any other Gikgo! They spread less than 10 feet at maturity.

Cleveland Pear: Far Better than the Bradford Pear which is extremely invasive in the U.S. and the tree splits and causes property damage. The Celeveland Pear is non-invasive and is upright which makes it split resistant as well. It doesn't bear fruit which makes it non-invasive, but it can pollinate with other Bradford Pears in the area which can lead to more invasiveness of the species. Make sure you check to see if there are any Bradford Pears planted in your area before considering planting the Cleveland Pear variety.

Fastigiata Blue Spruce and Baby Blue Eyes Blue Spruce: These varieties are upright and dwarf. They are great for smaller areas who want the famous blue frosted needles!

Stowe Pillar White Pine: Great for small spaces where growing a bit White Pine is impossible. This variety is very upright. It grows only 10 feet tall by 2-3 feet wide at maturity.


Skinny Genes Oak: A far better variety for people who want Oak's in smaller spaces, Medians, or Street trees. Grows only 45 feet tall by 10 feet wide at maturity.



There are lots of more varieties of your favorite landscaping trees! I simply just put some of my favorites in this list. I hope this helps you with your landscaping job!
