Harry Lauder’s Walking Stick was discovered growing in an English hedgerow in the mid-1800s. This deciduous, twisted stemmed shrub usually grows to just 8-10′, and is a very unique and hard-to-find specimen. You want to plant this close for an amazing all season view. The branch form becomes even more noticeable in winter after leaf drop and provides great winter interest. Twigs are used by florists in flower arrangements. Be sure to plant in a prominent location in the landscape where it can be fully enjoyed. USDA zones 4 – 8

Dawn Redwood is a magnificent deciduous tree. It has gorgeous soft green needles, and is a fantastic and inspiring tree to see and grow. Dawn Redwood is a magnificent deciduous tree, and is a relative of the California redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) and giant sequoia (Sequoiadendron giganteum), diverging around 150 million years ago. Dawn redwood prefers a wetter environment to grow, and it needs full sun to grow its best when it is a larger tree. We start these as 'understory' trees and they love the high open canopy above them giving the good indirect light. It does best in moist to wet soils, so it can be a good choice for large rain garden locations. As with all trees a good organic planting location would be ideal for these trees.
