F. sylvatica is native to central and southern Europe, the species name describing its prominence as a forest tree. European beach was introduced into America during colonial times.

The Weeping Japanese Maple 'Viridis' (Acer palmatum dissectum 'Viridis') is a compact, cold hardy maple that is also drought tolerant. It matures to heights of 8 feet tall and about 10 feet wide in USDA growing zones 5-8 making them a great specimen for smaller areas that normally would be a challenge to fill in.

Tree & Plant Care. Spring planting is best to allow root development. The Katsura tree is shallow-rooted and will benefit with a layer of mulch to maintain a cool root environment. Additionally, this tree is drought-sensitive and should be watered in dry conditions. Disease, pests and problems. Leaf scorch is common in hot, dry sites.

The Weeping Japanese Larch is a great accent plant. The new spring foliage on this tree is a bright green and is very soft to the touch. As the foliage matures it turns a bluish-green color and this tree also turns a beautiful gold/yellow in the fall before the needles drop. The height of this tree depends on training.

Weeping trees, such as the weeping Norway spruce (Picea abies ‘Pendula’), are outliers that make interesting specimen plants in the landscape. Norway spruce is the most common spruce in the American landscape because it is the most adaptable, and it grows in most portions of the country except the Deep South and the desert west.

The Prunus mume is an Asian tree species classified in the Armeniaca section of the genus Prunus subgenus Prunus. Its common names include Chinese plum and Japanese apricot. The flower is usually called plum blossom. This distinct tree species is related to both the plum and apricot trees.
