The Royal Star Magnolia attracts birds and butterflies to your garden, with their large, showy flowers blooming even before it’s foliage which features a medium green leaf. They prefer slightly acidic soils.

Evans Cherry is a cold-hardy sour cherry tree that is typically highly productive. It produces bright red, tart fruit that are well suited to fresh eating, baking, and preserves. In the spring, beautiful white flowers cover the branches, adding ornamental value.

Evans Cherry was developed in Alberta. It was rediscovered in 1976 near Edmonton, AB, by Dr. Ieuan Evans.

Sour cherries are self-fertile; however, planting with additional varieties for cross-pollination can increase yields.
