AMELANCHIER 'AUTUMN BRILLIANCE' TREE COMPANIONS FOR EQUITY



Monticello in Spring

www.monticello.org



Greetings from Charlottesville!




Amelanchier 'Autumn Brilliance'...a classic

The Green Man has been noticing how widespread interest is in Serviceberry. OK, say you elect to plant 3 of these around the site. You're asking: "What other large trees work with these?" Well, to cut to the chase, Betula nigra 'Heritage,' a cultivar that sparkles in groupings of 3-5, is The Green Man's choice. Then fill in with black tupelo, Nyssa sylvatica.



'Heritage'river birch resists the bronze birch borer and features 4-season interest.











Black tupelo,'Nyssa sylvatica' in the autumn. Plant in a sunny location.

Accent with Korean Pine, Magnolias 'Dr. Merrill' and 'Royal Star.'









'Dr. Merrill' magnolia in Spring...dazzling to behold

Now, you have an 'equity' tree foundation to work with...and the elegant and cutting-edge The Green Man look.
