We recently asked Cam to share his top plant picks. Here’s what he had to say:
Ivory Silk Japanese Tree Lilac
Syringa reticulata ‘Ivory Silk’
A first rate accent tree adorned with frothy upright panicles of creamy white flowers in early summer; interesting steel-gray bark and a dense, upright habit, an ideal choice for small home landscapes; needs full sun and well-drained soil
Lollipop® Flowering Crab
Malus ‘Lollizam’
Here’s an accent tree quite unlike anything you’ve ever seen before; a dense bushy globular head is grafted onto a standard, maintains its rounded form with minimal pruning; absolutely smothered in white flowers in spring, showy red fruit in fall
Shadblow Serviceberry
Amelanchier canadensis
A naturally beautiful small tree, ideal for small home landscapes; masses of showy white flowers in spring, edible berries in June, and amazing fall color add up to a versatile landscape plant
The Rising Sun Redbud
Cercis canadensis ‘The Rising Sun’
A spectacular and hardy spring bloomer, with very showy fuchsia flowers held tightly on bare branches in early spring; beautiful summer foliage varies between gold, peach, red and light green tones; great for small landscapes
