Dawick Gold (Fagus sylvatica 'Dawick Gold')
Dawick Gold is a columnar beech which comes out gold in the spring changing into green in summer with golden tips. It probably will get 35′ tall but will take many many years. In ten years mine only got 12′. zone 6

Debonair (Taxodium ascendens 'Debonair')

Strawberry Tree (Arbutus unedo)

Arbutus marina (Arbutus marina)
This may be a form of Arbutus andrachnoides, but whatever it is, it is beautiful. This photo was taken in Feb in Oregon and shows the dark green leaves and flaking red bark which is similar to the Pacific Madrone and much sought after. But whereas the Pacific Madrone is almost impossible to keep alive, this tree can handle cultivated garden conditions (well, not too much water) that would kill a madrone in minutes. Zone 7.

Wintersweet (Chimonanthus praecox)
First of all, I took this pic yesterday, December 27 so you see this Wintersweet is in full flower, and more important, it is in full fragrance; so as I go out my office door (just to the left of the window that you see there), I feel the sweetness to my toes. This is a pretty straggly large shrub (8′), but it is fairly well contained, so it is not a nuisance; and even if it were, it’s winter offering would make up for it. zone 6
