Trees
2005-2006
Acer rubrum ‘Frank Jr.’ P.A.F.
Redpointe Maple
Zone: 5
Height: 45'
Spread: 30'
Shape: Broadly pyramidal
Foliage: Dark green
Fall Color: Bright red
Brilliant red fall color plus upright, broadly pyramidal form make this
Schmidt introduction a standout. The refined form and foliage of
the best Acer rubrum cultivars combine with the faster growth rate
normally found in Acer x freemanii. A straight and dominant central
leader results in strong branch angles that make it easier to grow.

Height: 18'
Spread: 24'
Shape: Low branched or multi-stemmed tree
Foliage: Bright green, fine texured
Fall Color: Bright red
A new Amur maple selected by Dr. Michael Dirr, this tree features
bright green foliage that stays fresh and clean despite summer stress.

a sturdy trunk caliper. Its narrowly oval shape at maturity is ideal for
street use.

Autumn Splendor Maple
Zone: 5
Height: 45'
Spread: 40'
Shape: Broadly oval to rounded

Height: 35'
Spread: 20'
Shape: Upright oval
Foliage: Medium green
Fall Color: Orange
Flower: White, in clusters
Fruit: Purplish blue, edible, 3 ⁄8"
A street tree Amelanchier! This Schmidt introduction has exceptional
tree form. A dominant central leader supports strongly upwardoriented
scaffold branches. Pure white blooms smother a delicate
latticework of twigs in spring. These give way to healthy green foliage
that turns orange in the fall.
Betula platyphylla ‘Fargo’ PP 10963
Dakota Pinnacle ® Birch
Zone: 3
Height: 40'
Spread: 15'
Shape: Narrowly pyramidal

Dark pink, semi-pendulous flowers grace the strongly upright branches
of this U. S. National Arboretum introduction. Narrower in form than
its parent, Okame, its blossoms are deeper pink in color, and leaves
are darker green. A medley of yellow, orange and red autumn leaves
extends seasonal interest.

Spread: 20'
Shape: Upright spreading

Spread: 30'
Shape: Pyramidal
Foliage: Deep green

leaves in autumn.

from Ulmus wilsoniana, U. pumila, U. carpinifolia, and U. glabra.
