Rhododendron x White Lights
Prunus nigra and americana
ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW
White Lights Rhododendron is part of the Northern Lights Series, cold hardy, and deciduous. In late spring you'll be drawn to its fragrant white blooms. In fall, the foliage turns a beautiful purple-bronze color. Pruning is recommended after the flowers are spent to control the size and shape of this shrub.
White Lights Rhododendron should be your next hedge/screen, or plant it on its own as a specimen plant.
Canada and American Plum are almost identical in appearance and growth needs. These plants are short and stout fruit trees native to North America.
This hardy ornamental is excellent for both city dwellings as well as rural areas. During the spring, the white and pink blossoms are long lasting. The tasty fruit is suitable for fresh eating, baking, and preserves. These trees are not widely distributed and pure seed can be hard to come by.
Both are commonly used as rootstock and are considered universal pollinizers for other plum varieties.
