Cinnamon Fern The Cinnamon Fern, `Osmunda cinnamonea,' occurs naturally in moist, boggy ground near streams and on shaded ledges. The plants will grow in clumps between two and three feet tall. If constant moisture is provided, however, they may reach as much as five feet in height. The new fronds will have a cinnamon color. This fern should be planted in a loamy woodland soil with some shade to mimic their natural environment. This fern can be used in many applications, including container plantings, rock gardens, borders or even as a ground cover. The Cinnamon Fern can tolerate flooding and will grow in submerged soils.
Gala Apple Tree The Gala apple is a combination of modern and old-fashion parentage. The fruits mature to a bright overall red color, and have bold red stripes over a yellow background. The flesh is firm, juicy and fine textured, yellowish white in color. This is a highly coveted apple by consumers, and has a great bouquet, flavor and color. The Gala is a fresh fruit delight. This apple is very much in demand for fresh salads and has the mild flavor that picky eaters prefer. The striking bright yellow red color will attract the eye.
The Morning Star Rose of Sharon, `Hibiscus syriacus,' may be trained as a single trunk tree or espalier, or allowed to grow naturally as an upright, multi-stemmed shrub. This deciduous plant is vigorous and erect, growing to a height of eight to twelve feet. Its leaves are diamond shaped, dark green, somewhat palmate and toothed. This variety bears grayish-blue flowers with pinkish-white eyes. The flowers are present from late summer until mid fall. Larger flower heads may be obtained by pruning back hard to two or three buds in the early spring. This Rose of Sharon is very tolerant of summer heat and humidity.
