Butternut vs Blue BeechJuglans cinerea Carpinus caroliniana NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW 
Butternut is one of the few walnut varieties native to Canada. The nuts are sought after for their mild, sweet, and oily taste. Ensure this tree is planted in full sun and well-drained soil for best results.
Blue Beech is a beautiful, ornamental tree with enticing features. The foliage transforms throughout the season, offering a kaleidoscope of color. New leaves emerge reddish-purple, transforming to dark green, and then turn striking shades of yellow, orange, and red in fall. Once all the foliage has dropped, grooved, blue-grey bark becomes striking on a winter landscape. BUTTERNUT QUICK FACTSBLUE BEECH QUICK FACTS
