Golden Rain (Magnolia ‘Golden Rain’
I am excited about Dennis Ledvina’s introductions because they are stunning and he is doing his work in Wisconsin so guess what?? we have HARDY and hopefully a later bloom. Golden Rain has a wide flower with cupped tepals that hang down. The tree does get acuminata tall tho.

Manyo no Sato (Acer pal. ‘Manyo no Sato’
One of the newly requested variegated dissectums, this green and purple leaf is less fru fru than Hana matoi, but on the other hand, it is waaay more stable. It’s a slow grower so it will be a while before we have anything more than 1 gallons. Using Talons pic with permission.

Vulcan (Magnolia ‘Vulcan’)
Breath-taking is what it is. The tree is only 12 to 15′ tall but it flowers early in life and late enough in the season, so that is isn’t usually hurt by late frost (and when it is damaged, you still have the color which you can see from the other side of the field.)

wilsonii (Magnolia wilsonii)
In my field Magnolia wilsonii is an 8′ round-headed tree. The leaves are dark green and leathery and the wonderfully fragrant flowers hang down. A perfect tree for a NW small garden.

Yellow Bird (Magnolia ‘Yellow Bird’
This acuminata hybrid has been around for over 30 years. It blooms as the leaves are coming on and stand upright on the twigs. Later than Elizabeth, the flowers are less susceptible to frost damage. The tree may get to 40′, maybe not the best for a small garden.

Yellow Lantern (Magnolia x ‘Yellow Lantern’)
Yellow Lantern is another acuminata cross that provides a strong growing (25′ x15′) hardy tree with fragrant not deep yellow flowers that bloom late enough to avoid the late spring frosts. Those are all good things–except for the ‘not deep yellow part’.

Villa taranto (Acer palmatum ‘Villa taranto’ )
Villa taranto (Acer palmatum ‘Villa taranto’ )
Villa Taranto is a compact linearlobum that one lady tried to tell me was variegated; I knew it wasn’t but what she meant was that it changed color every day: red orange in spring, yellow orange green in the summer and orange again in the fall. It has always been one of my favorites.

Snowcloud (Ginkgo biloba ‘Snowcloud’)
Snowcloud (Ginkgo biloba ‘Snowcloud’)
Not the best picture, but get ready for this new introduction to knock your socks off. A variegated dwarf that is slow but comes out in the spring bright yellow and then turns pretty much a veined white. Keep your eyes open.

Feijoa sellowiana
Feijoa sellowiana
The common name for this plant is Pineapple Guava.
Often considered by the timid too tender for us here in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, this lovely shrub has flourished through our worst winters–OK that’s a lie: one winter it lost its leaves and died back a little, but normally it looks like it does today (pic in mid December), a beautiful soft evergreen shrub. In early summer it flowers with fleshy edible sweet flowers (not very filling tho) and in the winter the edible fruits taste like citrus pears. At the moment the only size we have is field grown: $75.00.
