These beautiful small flowering trees have a dual purpose. In a large garden, they add height to a 
shrub border. As a color mass, they accent a feature in your spring garden. Effective in groups, as 
hedges or along fence or low wall. Ideal for the small garden where they are scaled to size and will not 
dwarf the house. Some provide colorful fall foliage or berries as well as spring bloom. All are well-formed 
and well foliaged for all season loveliness. Plant in full sun in spring or fall.
