1 Columbus 18" denudata x (x veitchii 'Peter Veitch'. Large, creamy white flowers with a purple spot at the base of the tepals. $50.00
1 Columnar Pink 15" No information on this one either. This is one of the main problems with trying to offer the newest material - no information is available!!! I would have to say, pink flowers and upright growth habit (seems rather obvious). $50.00
3 cylindrica 12-18" White flowers. Just say the species name cylindrica around a group of magnolia nuts, and see the fights break out! I have 2 forms of this excellent species to offer this year. Buy them both and have a fight with your magnolia friends as to the correct ID! $50.00
3 cylindrica (true) 10-24" White flowers. This is reportedly the TRUE species (see above). If you have any thoughts on this one, maybe don't share them with me! $50.00

1 Fastigiata 18" loebneri with upright growth habit. $50.00
3 Fei Huang (Yellow River) 18-24" denudata. Pale yellow flower that is very much like Elizabeth. From photos I have seen, it appears to have broader tepals that are a little deeper yellow than Elizabeth. If this is truly denudata and not a hybrid, then it is a wide variant from the species. Found at a temple in Xian, China. Should be in your collection! $50.00
1 Fertile Myrtle x Picture (Savage) 8" As far as I know, this has not been named. From the parentage, I would expect pink flowers on a very cold hardy plant. $50.00
2 Gloster Form 18-24" x proctoriana. I can't find any information on this, but the cross of salicifolia and stellata is always good as far as I'm concerned. If someone felt it was worth making a selection, it must be good! $50.00

7 Kate Brook 15" Selected from a witch's broom on M. x soulangiana. Compact habit and heavy flowering. I have just recently received this plant, so can't say much about it, but the plants do have a very delicate appearance to them. Should make excellent, small plants for smaller gardens. $50.00
1 Lanhydroc 15" sprengerii 'Diva' seedling with much darker pink flowers than 'Diva'. $50.00
2 Leatherleaf 10" (x soulangiana 'Lennei Alba) x (x veitchii). Heavy textured leaves and large (12") white flowers on this Gresham hybrid. $50.00

20 March Till Frost 18" (liliiflora x cylindrica) x 'Ruby'. Dark purple flowers that continue to be produced throughout the growing season. Interesting, upright growth habit.

Order quickly since they will not last!!! An excellent Kehr hybrid! $50.00
1 Marg Gossler 12" denudata x sargentiana var. robusta. Large (12") white flowres with a solf pink blush at the base. A Savage hybrid hardy to zone 5. $50.00
4 Minnie Mouse 10-12" liliiflora x liliiflora 'Nigra'. A VERY dwarf selection growing to only 2-3' over a long time period. Small (3") purple flowers. I want to use this in a breeding program to produce other compact forms! This is the dwarfest magnolia that I know of. $50.00
2 Miranja 18" New selection from Arboretum Bokrijk (Belgium). Reportedly a cross of 'Busey' x 'Miss Honeybee' - this is certainly not the case since it has rich pink colored soulangiana type flowers. The interesting thing about this cultvar however, is its pyramidal growth habit (very different from soulangiana). $50.00
1 Miss Jack 24" salicifolia selection that has white flowers with a pale pink tint. Also has narrow leaves. I have never seen a salicifolia selection that I didn't like!!!!! $50.00

2 Pegasus 12-15" cylindrica x denudata? A wide spreading, small tree with white flowers flushed purple at the base. This is from the CORRECT 'Pegasus'. There seem to be a lot of arguments over this plant, but I have been assured that this IS from the original plant! $50.00
1 Peirce's Park 12" acuminata var. subcordata. This selection was made from the USA national champion tree (over 100' tall). This is HUGE for var. subcordata!!! Bright yellow flowers as you would expect. $50.00

3 R13-25 (sieb. X trip.) 10-12" sieboldii x tripetala. A must have for those that are interested in sieboldii hybrids. This is an August Kehr hybrid and appears to be very nice. $50.00
3 R14-39 (polyploid virginiana) 6-10" A very heavy foliaged polyploid M. virginiana from August Kehr. I'm interested in it for hybridizing. A nice, compact habit as well. $50.00
10 R20-1
10" sieboldii x macrophylla (or possibly ashei). A FANTASTIC August Kehr selection!!! This hybrid has the best of both parents. Fantastic foliage that looks like sieboldii, but is MUCH larger. Flowers are white with red stamens, just like sieboldii, but are 8" across and upward facing! August Kehr nearly cut the plant down because it didn't have the 14" flowers he was hoping for. GLAD he didn't! A truly beautiful, multistemmed tree. Rarely in stock, but after 3 years, I finally have a few available. Sure to go fast, so order early! $50.00

2 Raspberry Ice 18-24" liliiflora 'Nigra' x (x veitchii). A Gresham hybrid with 9", pale pink flowers with violet shading at the base and a violet cast to the entire flower. A shrubby grow habit so it will work easier in the smaller gardens. $50.00

7 Red Lion 24" liliiflora x cambellii. A sister seedling of 'Star Wars', this Blumhardt selection is darker red that 'Star Wars'. $50.00

2 Shi Banchi Rosea (stel.) 10-12" stellata. Sorry, but once again, no information on this one. From this name, I would assume it is a pink flowered stellata. Should be interesting to see what it does! $50.00
3 sieb. X tripetala (Clulow) (MF) 12-18" sieboldii x tripetala. Another hybrid for those that collect sieboldii hybrids. Personally I think all of the plants from this cross are good. Plant them all and compare. Let me know what you think. $50.00
2 soulcamp (not a name) 15-18" (x soulangiana) x campbellii. This is not a valid cultivar name, just reflects the parentage. Should be interesting and worth trying in a colder climate. Hopefully it will have large flowers from campbellii and the cold hardiness of x soulangiana. Give it a try! $50.00

1 Yellow Greenbird 15" No information on this one either. Guessing that it would be yellow with green in it (amazing how my deductive reasoning works!). $50.00
2 Yellow Sea 6" No information. All I can say is that it is rare in cultivation, so it should be in your collection!!! $50.00
3 zenii Clone B (JG) 12-18" zenii selected by my dear friend, John Gallagher in the UK. Appears to flower much later than the zenii form that is in the USA. All of the older zenii in the USA are from one original collection and this is from a different collection. A great species and I'm very excited to have more clones to grow! $50.00

10 Acer palmatum 'Emperor 1' 24" Bright purplish-red spring foliage that darkens to a dark red during the summer. Very much like 'Bloodgood', but maybe a little brighter foliage color and certainly better branching. Excellent, small, multistemmed tree! $25.00
Sold Out Betula nigra 'Summer Cascade' pp
30" Beautiful, new selection of river birch that has gracefully weeping branches. Best if plant is staked initially to gain height, and then allowed to weep down. Nice, creamy, exfoliating bark is an added bonus! NEW and choice! $30.00

5 Castanea sativa 'Aurea-Marginata'
2-3' BEAUTIFUL, yellow margined form of spanish chestnut. Under good conditions, the leaves can be as long as 18"! This can become a large tree in time, but will take MANY years to do so. EXTREMELY difficult to propagate and RARE as well. Basically never offered in the USA for sale. This may be the only time that I offer it due to the propagation problems. Most likely best in zones 7 and warmer. I don't know if it will go any colder than this or not. It would make a stunning container plant in colder climates. VERY limited supply so order quickly! $150.00
5 Diospyros kaki 'Pendula' 12-15" OUT OF THIS WORLD weeping Japanese persimmon! High on my MUST HAVE list for years and now I finally have a few available. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to propagate, so we will not keep it in production. Great fall color, extremely weeping growth habit (you might want to stake it for a few years) AND huge, orange fruit!!! I don't think it gets any better than this! VERY RARE and VERY LIMITED. Best in zone 7 and warmer, otherwise keep it in a container and move it inside during the winter. $100.00

10 Ginkgo - weeping form from Germany 2-4" I was fortunate enough to run into this FANTASTIC form in an old garden in Germany last summer.

I admit that there is a chance that the climate can influence the growth habit of plants, but this plant was truly amazing! Plants are very small, but are good grafts. $50.00

I'm not sure if it produces fruits or not, but even if it does, the fruit wll fall in a tight circle around the base of the tree (free mulching!). RARE!!! $75.00
10 Quercus robur 'Argenteo Marginata'
18" White margined english oak. Not as fast growing as the species, but will still fairly quickly make a nice, small tree. One of my favorite variegated trees. $30.00
8 Quercus robur 'Concordia'
2-3' Golden foliaged english oak. EXTREMELY fast growing (faster than the species!). Bright yellow spring foliage and pale yellow green summer foliage.

4 Zelkova 'Goblin' 8-10" A really cool, VERY dwarf Zelkova! Extremely slow grow rate - perfect for bonsai. I think this will only grow a few inches a year. I've never seen this one offered anyplace before. LIMITED! $50.00
