Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis) |
Have Martha Dendy Park Millers Fork Lydia Bailey Children's Park Pine Street Park Pine Haven Park |
The eastern redbud grows to a height of 20–30' and a spread of 25–35' at maturity. Rosy pink flowers appear in April before the leaves appear. Reddish-purple leaves change to dark green, then to yellow. Appear in the fall. It is native to North America and Canada with cousins in Europe and Asia. It was noted in 1571 by Spaniards who made distinctions between the New World species and their cousins in the Mediterranean region. Centuries later, George Washington reported in his diary on many occasions about the beauty of the tree and spent many hours in his garden transplanting seedlings obtained from the nearby forest. It was chosen as the state tree of Oklahoma in 1937. The early blossoms draw in nectar-seeking insects including several species of early-season butterflies. Northern bobwhite and a few songbirds, such as chickadees will eat the seeds. It can be used for nesting sites and nesting materials, and it also provides shelter for birds and mammals. | |

Have Millers Fork Martha Dendy Park |
The Carolina Sapphire Cypress was developed at Clemson University in 1968. It has seedlings that have very lacy foliage of a gorgeous steel-blue color. This tree combines all the toughness of the common Arizona Cypress with a soft appearance and a beautiful color. It is one of the fastest-growing evergreens, and it can grow as much as two feet a year when young. It will quickly reach 20 or 30 feet in height if left unclipped. The foliage is soft and very fine, looking like steely blue lace and smelling like a cross between lemons and mint. | |
