The 'Ulster Sweet' variety produces showy white flowers in the spring and sweet red cherries in the summer. Fruit is perfect for juicing, wine making and fresh eating. Will grow 10-12' tall and wide. 'Rainier' and 'Rynbrandt' make good pollinating partners.
Border forsythia is a vigorous grower with an upright, rounded habit that will quickly reach 8-10' tall and 10-12' wide. Its vibrant yellow blooms will appear in mid-spring, before the foliage appears, and will last for a couple of weeks. This variety can handle partial shade, but will bloom better in a full sun environment. Can be pruned back in late spring or early summer after blooms have been spent.
The 'Ann' magnolia is a compact variety that produces vibrant, pink blooms in mid-spring before foliage emerges. It will reach 10-12' tall and wide and is a great specimen for smaller landscape spaces.
