I just got back from Old Time Pottery. This is a Manufacturers Closeout Decor store in the Southeast. They have a garden center. Who knew? All the trees and plants were 75% off. Annuals were 90% off! I bought a couple of trees and a bush.
First was the Okame Cherry Tree in a 7 gallon container for $7.49. The Okame Cherry Tree is the star of the Cherry Blossom Festival in Washington D.C. and is one of the earliest bloomers. It's got beautiful pink flowers and wonderful fragrance in the spring and gives great fall colors as well.
The next tree is a Green Mountain Sugar Maple for 9.99 in a 7 gallon container. Known for it’s brilliant color in the fall the Sugar Maple truck is tapped for the sap and boiled down to make maple syrup. And you know how beautiful fall maple leaves are!
Finally the last plant is the Pragense Viburnum in a 3 gallon container. It’s an evergreen that blooms white. It attracts bees, butterflies and birds. This bush can grow to 6 feet tall which is perfect for the bank in our backyard. Price? $3.50!
While I decide exactly where these plants will go, I will tickle their roots by feeding them with Gro-tone which is a natural organic liquid plant food.
I love finding great deals on a large item purchase. Look around where you live. I’m sure that there are great deals just waiting for you too!

Some nurseryman describe the Kwanzan Cherry as obtaining heights 30-40 feet and others describe the tree as growing only 12-18 feet. Regardless the Kwanzan Cherry is not a small tree. Tn Tree Farm Nursery
