Cathedral Live Oak

The Cathedral Oak Tree is a Southern Live Oak. It is a cultivar which means it was cloned from a mother tree with the same DNA so as to copy the dense and upper structure of the tree. This tree is exceptional for applications where a consistent look and a tall dense headed tree is desired in the landscape. It is consistent in height and spread whether planning 1 or 50 in the design. Cathedral Live Oak Trees do not require the breadth of space a typical Standard live oak must have and can be planted as close as 30 feet apart. It is perfect for any place where consistency, privacy and shade are desired in the landscape.

Its well spaced branching is complimented by dense, dark green foliage. Being an evergreen it brightens up the otherwise dismal winter landscapes where deciduous trees grow and shed their leaves after the first frost. The Cathedral Live Oak Tree leaves are of a dark green color with a yellow green underside. It is native to the Southeastern United States which means that after they are established, they do well without special watering requirements. It is adaptable to most any soil type and grows well in partial sun to full sun.

Italian Cypress

The Italian Cypress trees give height to your foundation plantings without taking up a lot of room. Architects use them to frame entryways, cover vertical drain-pipes, soften corners and vertical edges and even as elegant property dividers. Planted three feet apart they can make a nice blind for your property. You can even plant them in large pots to frame your front entryway or to add elegance to your back patio or pool. 

They grow almost everywhere… require little water, and can adapt to almost any soil type you may have. Unlike most evergreens, the Italian Cypress does not grow in a pyramidal fashion. These popular new trees grow in a narrow, columnar fashion, practically reaching straight up without ever growing very wide. When they reach the height you want, just cut the top. 

These fast growers can shoot up to 2-3 ft. a year while giving you dense foliage, soft texture and symmetrical shape.

 

We have the Italian Cypress available this month in a 30 gal. (10’) size, (pictured). It is also available in a 15 gallon which is equally as nice in appearance
