The Eastern white pine tree(Pinus strobus) is also known as the northern white pine. The White pine is a valuable trees in Eastern North America. At one time there were virgin stands of these pine trees which contained billions of feet of lumber. Most of those vast stands are gone. Luckily, since it is one of the fastest growing northern conifers, it is being used as a tree for reforestation projects, landscaping, screening, buffering and Christmas trees. Thus, today, it is one of the more widely planted evergreens in American trees.
Whenever I think of white pines, I remember hunting when I was a kid and standing near trees that were giants. Now every pine tree I plant, I can envision those days in the deep woods near our farm and those grand trees and hope someone else will have that same enjoyment as I had. These trees will help you too in establishing a desired vision to your landscape.. Our gain privacy.
Beyond their size, white pines trees also fill important ecological niches. They grow across wide ranges of forest and planting conditions, finding much of America to their liking.
Pine trees
are often neglected or improperly treated and thus, they
become sickly, unsightly, and hazardous. Proper maintenance
of trees around homes and in landscape can provide
maximum benefits and minimal problems.Pine trees normally do not require pruning. At times,
however, carefully planned pruning is a necessary part
of a complete tree maintenance program.

Emerald Arborvitae

Emerald Greens B&B ready to PU By the Truckload or just one...
We specialize in Privacy Trees for screening--we plant more privacy trees than anyone else in the Northeast areas of Pa NJ NY Va Md Del and Conn.
The roots of arborvitae are considered to be small and fiberous. They are predominately small with many speghetti like and thin roots. These roots are more desirable because when the roots travel under pavement or blocks, they do not "bubble" up disturb it causing sidewalk or foundation problems. The roots are typically with in the top 9 to 12 inches of the ground except in very sandy conditions where they found deeper.
In general, the arborvitaes like moist well drained soils. They can take the pooper soils of new developments fairly well but try to avoid year round wet soils. If the soils are wet only after rains which is common, then elevate the balls when planting. Also shy away from potted material in those conditions.
We deliver and plant for you....Highland Hill Farm has been growing arborvitae since the farm has started. The arborvitae is an excellant plant for blocking neighbors without forfitting much of your back yard for the plant to grow on. Most arborvitaes are upright in grow. For example the popular emerald green arborvitae grows only 3 to 4 feet wide and makes an excellant hedge or buffer. On the other hand, the elangtissma arborvitae can be 6 to 7 feet wide. Each type of arborvitae has strengths and weakness. Take time to read into each type of arborvitae to see which one is best for you or you call e-mail your situation. We love to hear from you! All questions will be answered. Call us at 215 651 8329.
The Emerald Green is one of our most popular arborvitae. Its main use is as a fast growing buffer. People have traveled from New York and from Virginia to buy these arborvitae. If you have a brown thumb, these are the plant for you. Plus we can deliver and plant.
We have them by the truckload or just one or two at a time. The arborvitae is commonly used to create privacy for homes and backyards. The arborvitae is an evergreen plant. Evergreen means that the plant retains its foliage through out the winter. Plants that lose their leaves in the winter do not provide privacy during those months of the year. What really makes the arborvitae the best privacy plant is the dense canopy. The arborvitae has a great canopy because even at very close distance, it is full enough to give privacy. Make sure you get the correct Arborvitae for your property... we can review your site if you send us photos. It is not full at a distance and sparse and open when close to the plant. Planting the arborvitae close to one another can be accomplished. The arborvitae will grow into one another and creates a living wall and buffer.Plus they are ez to care for. This does not hurt the plant at all and native arborvitae in the wild must do this to survive and thrive.
Trimming of arborvitae is beyond simple. They are considered to be indeterminate plants which means that arborvitae grow from growing points and not buds. These growing points on the arbs are found at the tips of the arborvitae and are responsible for making the branches longer. Removing them will keep the plant from growing as high as it normally would grow and will make the plant wider. For best results, only trim the top leaders. Since arborvitae do not have buds, they can be trimmed any time of the year. We typically trim during the winter just because we have more time available.

Irrigation Tape for Trees and Shrubs
Irrigation Of Trees and Shrubs
Even native trees need extra water in severe droughts like the ones we have been experiencing in the last few years.
Contrary to common thought, tree roots do not mirror the above-ground portion of a tree. Most of a tree's root system is only a couple feet below the surface.
Water can be applied to established trees once a
month during the winter and as often as needed
during the heat of the summer. Water should be
applied at the tree's drip line and beyond.
Trees adapted to drier climates need far less irrigation
than other species.
If Nature provides enough precipitation to wet
the soil two to three feet deep, don't apply additional
water.
If Nature's precipitation falls short of a full
soaking, apply only enough additional water to wet the
soil two to three feet deep.
Apply water slowly so that it sinks deeply into the soil.
drip emitters, bubblers, and hand-held
hoses are preferable to sprinklers.
Mulch the soil around a tree trunk (but not so closely
that the mulch touches the trunk). A layer of mulch
keeps the soil moist and reduces weeds that compete
for water. Organic mulches, such as bark or wood chips,
keep the soil cooler but can absorb water that could
otherwise get to tree roots. Use no more than one inch of mulch. Inorganic mulches, such as
gravel, are not a fine good choice for native and adapted trees
to Eastern US States.

White Cedar Trees
The Atlantic white-cedar grows in a narrow
belt 50 to 100 miles wide along the
Atlantic coast from southern Maine to
central Florida, and westward along the
Gulf coast to southeastern Mississippi
White Cedar
About the White Cedar Tree.
Leaf: Evergreen and scaly, 1/16 to 1/8 inch long, blue-green with white margins. Glandular on the back. Lateral pairs have pointed, spreading tips.
Facial pairs are closely pressed. Very aromatic when crushed.
Flower: Monoecious; male flowers are red to yellow and very small; female flowers are small and green; appearing in spring.
Fruit: Cones are 1/4 inch in diameter, blue or purple and glaucous, usually with 4 or 5 scales, maturing in fall.
Twigs: Covered in tight green scales, turning brown.
Bark: Thin and fibrous, somewhat peeling, ashy gray to red-brown.
Form: When young, grows as a slender column, eventually spire-like. Branchlets are slender and irregularly arranged.
Atlantic white-cedar Cupressaceae Chamaecyparis thyoides (L.) Flowering and Fruiting- White-cedar is monoecious, but the staminate and pistillate flowers are produced on separate shoots. The flower buds are formed in the summer and, though minute, are discernible in the fall or winter. In the northeast, the brownish staminate buds are only about 1 mm (0.04 in) long or wide in February. The greenish pistillate buds at the ends of short shoots are about the same size. When mature, the four-sided, oblong, staminate flowers are about 3 mm (0.1 in) long, and the pistillate flowers are about that wide. Pollen shedding usually occurs in early April in the northeast.
Rooting Habit- Atlantic white-cedar has a shallow root system. In swamps where the lower soil layers are permanently saturated with water, the roots are confined chiefly to the upper 1 to 2 feet of peat. Where the water table occurs at lower levels and the soils are more deeply aerated, the roots often penetrate to greater depths.
Planting Viburnums in June
Quality Producers Cheap Screening Trees
Planting Viburnums in The Summer Open 7 Days/Week...7am To 6pm
Viburnums are my pick for the most versatile and garden worthy shrubs. Besides having attractive foliage and growth habits, the best viburnums also offer lovely—sometimes even fragrant—flowers.
American Cranberry bush (Viburnum trilobum)
A deciduous shrub from the Honeysuckle Family (Caprifoliaceae), American Cranberrybush is commonly found throughout the northern tier of states in the United States. In these locations, it is a resident of open, wet woodlands and beside streams and some other bodies of water. It has an outer row of showy, sterile flowers resembling Hydrangeas. Also known as Highbush Cranberry ( because of its red fruits), this shrub has strong stems and thick branches, and may reach 12 feet tall by 12 feet wide when found in the open, with an arching growth habit at maturity that leaves the center of the plant devoid of branches. This shrub can be cut back hard and recovers quickly. New landscape cultivars of this species have a much more compact and dense growth habit. As a member of the Honeysuckle Family, it is related to the Honeysuckles, Elderberries, Weigelas, and the many other Viburnums. Viburnums have been cultivated by man for thousands of years and this particular variety is my favorite for fast growing and easy to cultivate plants. If you have had trouble growing other plants in your landscape, this is a plant that will not fail for you. Planting Requirements - American Cranberry bush prefers moist to wet soils of rich or average composition, and of acidic pH. However, it tolerates dry soils of acidic, neutral, or alkaline pH reasonably well. It loves full sun to partial sun, and performs well in partial shade to full shade, although its growth habit will be much more sparse. It habitat range is found in zones 2 to 7. We always have in stock a large selection of this viburnum. Our availability in sizes ranges from seedlings and liners to 4-5' shrubs B&B ready to pickup.

Most evergreens growing in Northern landscapes, whether recently transplanted or well-established, benefit from supplemental water during winter dry spells. Often, such spells are characterized by drying winds or unseasonably warm temperatures, further emphasizing the need for watering. Do not over water... just keep the plants moist.

Quality Producers of Trees, Plants, and Shrubs
Hardy Stellar Pink Dogwood We Grow Open 7 Days/Week...7am To 6pm
Stellar Pink has a reputation with nurseries and landscapers as the most asked for pink dogwood today.
Stellar Pink Dogwoods make excellent understory trees in a semi-shaded area and can be used in foundation plantings. They are often used as a backdrop for rhododendrons, azaleas, or other spring-flowering shrubs. Stellar Pink Dogwoods are excellent for specimen or accent plantings around the terrace or patio.
Call 215 651 8329 here is our Pink Stellar Dowoods....The flowering dogwood is native to the eastern half of the United States. It is a deciduous tree that can grow 15 to 30 feet in height and is generally wider than it is tall. The dogwood is cold hardy to 15 degrees F, so it is well adapted to the most of NE US.
Although it is usually multi-trunked, it can be pruned to a tree form, growing as high as 16 feet. The hard white fruits ripen from August to October, and provides food for at least 30-40 species of birds, making it an important landscape plant.

Plants of Stellar Pink are known to be very vigorous growers
This variety is erect in growth habit and is more uniformly full in width than are trees of Kousa dogwood.
The flower (bract) heads are very attractive with a blush pink color

The period of flowering in the spring is quite similar to that of Aurora and Celestial, and starts a few days after the floral display periods for Ruth Ellen, Stardust and Constellation begin, and five to seven days after the completion of the floral display periods of most plants of the American dogwood
At twenty years old the original tree of Stellar Pink was approximately twenty three feet tall and eighteen feet wide.
STELLAR PINK is sterile and does not produce fruit. This hybrid cultivar is sometimes sold in commerce under the name of Cornus x rutgeriensis.
Stellar Pink has good resistance to the diseases powdery mildew and anthracnose.
Has displayed a high level of winter hardiness USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6A
Are You Going to get a wild Dogwood?
Transplanting Dogwoods from the woods is not a recommended idea for a good specimen: You must duplicate the growing environment of the forest if the tree is to transplant well, and even when these conditions are met, the survival rate is terrible. Further, you may be transporting insects and diseases into an area where they did not previously occur. If you still desire to do this, however, you should select a very small tree. Root prune the tree in spring and move it the following fall. Have the new planting site prepared before digging the tree. Survival will depend on how many shallow feeder roots you move, not the amount of soil. Dig on a cool day and keep roots moist at all times. Only transplant when the tree is dormant.
Dogwoods will grow in a variety of soil types but require good drainage. The best soil is a moist, fertile loam with slightly acidic pH (5.2 to 6.0) similar to a forest floor. Dogwoods prefer a soil that is high in organic matter. For beds incorporate a 2- to 4-inch layer of organic matter such as pine bark mulch or compost in the soils near the root mass.
Plant Habit or Use: large shrub
small tree
Exposure: sun
partial sun
shade
The dogwood is a tough tree. Dogwood wood is very heavy, tough, and resistant to abrasion. It is used to be found in making shutters for weaving, wedges for splitting wood, and golf clubs.
