Ginkgo may grow extremely slow for several years after planting, but will then pick up and grow at a moderate rate, particularly if it receives an adequate supply of water and some fertilizer. But do not overwater or plant in a poorly-drained area. Be sure to keep turf several feet away from the trunk to help trees become established. Very tolerant of urban soils and pollution.

This tree is best used as a specimen, wind break, screen, or perhaps as an evergreen street tree for narrow overhead spaces. It is surprisingly tolerant of urban conditions, probably more so than other Spruces. Grows best with some shelter from mid-day or afternoon sun, though it tolerates full-day sun. Also tolerates soils with a high pH.

Developed in Japan and introduced to the U.S. market in 1962, this cross of Red Delicious and Virginia Ralls Genet quickly became a national favorite. Fruit is large to very large with firm, sweet, and crisp flesh. Dull reddish skin is sometimes russeted. Self-fruitful and with a chilling requirement of less than 500 hours, it offers a very long shelf life compared to other apples.

Small deciduous tree that is noted for its compact size and late winter to early spring bloom of star-shaped white flowers. Each flower typically has 12-18 narrow strap-like tepals. Best sited in locations protected from high winds, but generally avoid southern exposures where the buds may be induced to open too early in late winter. Mulch (compost or bark) helps retain soil moisture. 

Royal Star blooms about two weeks later than other varieties of magnolias and is accordingly less susceptible to frost problems.

Japanese Tree Lilac is tolerant of urban conditions, growing in poor, clay or alkaline soil. The gorgeous flowers are most showy and prolific when the tree is located in full sun with good drainage. As with other lilacs, the plant as a shrub may need rejuvenation by pruning every few years as it becomes overgrown. Plants in partial shade can be infected with powdery mildew which can cause some defoliation. It is perhaps the most pest-resistant lilac, but that does not mean it is pest-free. Regular irrigation during dry spells help make this a pest-resistant tree.
