Holly - China Boy
The Holly 'China Boy', Ilex X meserveae 'Mesdob', is an astonishingly fast, hardy grower. Its compact mounded form matures at 10 feet by 8 feet. Choose a sunny to partly sunny site with well-drained soil, making sure there is enough room for shrub to grow to its mature spread. It should be sheltered from winter sun and wind. Once 'China Boy' is established, usually by the third year, you only need to water in times of drought. The glossy green foliage takes to shearing and shaping well. 'China Boy' is truly an exceptional landscape plant since it is cold hardy and heat tolerant. Use this evergreen holly as a privacy hedge, a landscape specimen, accent plant, and this Holly also works well under power lines. The China Boy will pollinate the China Girl holly. China Boy is a vigorous pollinator and it will pollinate many China Girls if placed in close proximity. China Boy can be easily pruned. This plant prefers acidic soil. Add sulfur to soils that are too alkaline. Zones 4-9 * Fast-Growing!

Witch-hazel - Common - DetailsWitch-hazel - Common - Sale Price: $64.25
The Common Witch-Hazel, Hamamelis virginiana, is extraordinary in its flowering habits. It flowers in late October to early December. Many times its slender yellow petals are the only signs of color in the dormant woods. Witch-hazel is pollinated by the winter moth. After pollination, the fruits become dormant for the winter, developing over the following growing season and maturing in the fall, 10-12 months after pollination. Seeds are dispersed by gravity, or are eaten and excreted by birds. Witch-hazel seeds germinate the following spring or enter the seed bank. Early growth is slow, and in fact remains slow throughout the life of the tree in its typical shady habitat. As individuals, witch-hazel probably does not live more than 100 years, but they reproduce from root sprouts, and clones may live for a very long time.
