A very fast-growing tree that has a broad dense pyramidal or oval shape to its canopy. The bark of younger trees and branches will be mahogany-like reddish-brown. As the trees mature they will exfoliate to reveal a distinct bright white bark like that of traditional paper birch. Leaves are simple and grow alternately on the stem. They are oval or heart-shaped, pointed at the tip, and rounded at the base. They have an irregularly serrate margin and are a dark green color in summer and yellow in the fall.
We isolated from the original bronze birch borer resistant plant in the U.W. Arboretum and not from a seedling. The plant has broad pyramidal form, early white bark, lovely yellow fall color and is a vigorous grower when young.
Royal Frost’ is best grown in moist, acidic, sandy or rocky, well-drained loams in full sun to part shade. Best foliage color occurs in full sun, but if the plant is sited in an area of summer heat and humidity, it will appreciate afternoon partial shade. ‘Royal Frost’ does best in cool northern climates where summer temperatures rarely exceed 75 degrees F. and where root zones are generally covered with snow throughout the winter. Keep the tree consistently moist and consider using soaker hoses and bark mulches to keep the root zones cool and moist. It needs little pruning, but if necessary, you can prune during the dormant season. Do not prune in winter or spring when the sap is running because it will bleed.
A paper birch with exceptional snow-white exfoliating bark, quality dark green foliage and excellent golden-yellow autumn foliage coloration.

This specimen tree provides more than one season of interest! Midnight Express® redbud has you covered from spring ’til fall with its fabulous color show. It starts with an impressive number of bright pink, pea-shaped blooms lining each branch in the springtime. From there, it grows large, heart-shaped foliage with dark burgundy coloring that shifts to a dynamic show in summer with emerald green hints. The leaf coloring is the same as or a bit darker than Black Pearl™ redbud. It grows in a more upright manner and fills out faster than Forest Pansy redbud. The most dramatic show is saved for fall when the interior foliage lights up with butterscotch yellow coloring while the exterior leaves remain burgundy and red. You won’t be able to take your eyes off this native, color-changing tree!

Showy, fragrant, creamy-white flowers are produced in July when few other plants have a display. ‘Ivory Silk’ is more upright (25′) and narrower than seedling tree lilacs.
A tall, upright Japanese tree lilac growing in a nontypical form for the species. The stiffly ascending branches above a substantial trunk combine to create a tree lilac much narrower in form and greater in height than cultivars or seedling grown plants generally found in the landscape. Large creamy white flower panicles in late June, good foliage quality, and prominent bark lenticels add to its ornamental features
The semi-double flowers are rose-lavender in bud and the large multi-petaled florets are a lovely mixture of orchid, rose and violet. Since flowers do not all open at once, each cluster has the entire complement of colors. Flowers are also very fragrant. 8’ high x 8’ wide at 10 years.
This is a very showy, large flowered, single white lilac as the name indicates. The florets are accented with a yellow center. Growth habit is upright (9′); foliage is dark green and flowers are lightly fragrant.

This is a small stature (5′) lilac. It is a true pink, almost a shrimp pink with single multi-petaled flowers and very fragrant. This is one of my personal favorites, an outstanding lilac!
An outstanding showy red to purple lilac.

This cultivar displays single, large, wisteria- type panieles. The name is from the blue bankground of the fine English pottery of Josiah Wedwood. Growth is upright and foliage is disease resistant.
Very large dark purple single flowers and the suggestion of a somewhat more compact growth habit. Perhaps Fr. Fialas finest dark purple, this lilac is a real showstopper.
A single flowered lilac of a special blue color. This nearly dwarf plant has mature height of 4 to 5′. Fr. Fiala wanted this plant called Little Boy Blue but the International Lilac Registrar denied the name. For years we have listed this plant as Little Boy Blue but in fact it was registered as ‘Wonderblue’. One of the best lilacs for a container.
