Saratoga Ginkgo* Ginkgo biloba 'Saratoga' Description: A truly elegant variety with the most unique elongated pendulous leaves; stunning pyramidal form and consistent golden fall color, desireable males do not produce fruit; a great choice for home landscape use Ornamental Features: Saratoga Ginkgo has emerald green foliage throughout the season. The large fan-shaped leaves turn an outstanding gold in the fall. Neither the flowers nor the fruit are ornamentally significant. The furrowed gray bark is not particularly outstanding. Landscape Attributes: Saratoga Ginkgo is an open deciduous tree with a distinctive and refined pyramidal form. Its average texture blends into the landscape, but can be balanced by one or two finer or coarser trees or shrubs for an effective composition. This is a relatively low maintenance tree, and is best pruned in late winter once the threat of extreme cold has passed. Deer don't particularly care for this plant and will usually leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics. Saratoga Ginkgo will grow to be about 50 feet tall at maturity, with a spread of 30 feet. It has a high canopy with a typical clearance of 8 feet from the ground, and should not be planted underneath power lines. It grows at a slow rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live to a ripe old age of 150 years or more; think of this as a heritage tree for future generations!

It is not particular as to soil type or pH, and is able to handle environmental salt. It is highly tolerant of urban pollution and will even thrive in inner city environments.

An Australian native, Eugenia myrtifolia or Syzygium conforms to a column, bush or multi-trunked tree shape as needed. Its sensitivity to frost confines it to Western Garden zones 16, 17, and 20-24 but it is a blockbuster in these lucky regions. With stunning glossy green foliage that emerges tinged with red, it is attractive all year but particularly when the creamy pom-pom shaped flowers appear in spring or summer yielding cherry-like berries in the autumn. The latter naturally attract birds in droves. It makes a fabulous screen or hedge, conforms nicely to topiary shaping, and serves as a wind-breaker where needed. It is also popular among bonsai artists. Australian Brush Cherry craves sunshine and medium water with well-drained soil, reaching 15-40' tall and 5-15' wide with time. As a bonus, it is drought and seacoast tolerant!
