NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
Thornless Honey Locust makes an excellent shade tree with its lacy foliage and dappled shade. The leaves are honey-yellow, light and airy, providing interesting color and texture to your landscape. This variety is thornless, and the seeds and pods provide food for wildlife such as deer and squirrels.
The Thornless Honey Locust is tolerant of drought, various soil conditions, and even road salt.
The Rocky Mountain Juniper is a columnar and slightly rounded evergreen shrub that features foliage with colours that range from a light green to a dark blue-green. It produces round, dark-blue berry-like cones that ripen in the second year.
Rocky Mountain Junipers have great ornamental value due to its varying colours and can attract wildlife into your yard as the “berries” are favored by birds.
