Cold Hardiness :

To benefit the general gardening public in southern NH and northern MA we are trialing many trees and shrubs to observe their overall performance throughout the year. Some of these plants are new selections being tested for hardiness in our area (USDA Hardiness Zone 5) and some are species predominantly grown in warmer climates. We hope the following reports will assist the homeowner and landscape professional in making informed tree and shrub purchases.

Calycanthus 'Venus'

Calycanthus sinensis

Acer palmatum cultivars

And others.......

Please check back later to see a complete list of our trial plants and photos from our test plots.
