The Mugo Pine is a smaller evergreen that is commonly seen in small city lots or up against houses or commercial buildings. Its slow growth allows for a long life without ever getting too large.

It is a very attractive tree that seldom gets the attention it deserves outside of professional landscapers. Mugo Pine is an extremely hardy, adaptable evergreen.

Bracted Honeysuckle is a shade loving shrub that is distinguishable from other honeysuckles by its square stem and pointed leaves. Native to most of North America, this honeysuckle is found along swamps, rivers, riparian zones and moist wooded areas.
