The Winter
Landscape

The following trees and shrubs con-
tain a variety of materials that add in-
terest and color to the winter land-
scape.
Stewartia is a small genus of native
and Oriental trees whose whiter bark
exfoliates to exposed multicolored
tones underneath. The colors gen-
erally range from soft grays and
brown to orange; it also has brightly
colored fall leaves.
The most famous birch for winter
interest is probably the paper or
canoe birch, which is native to the
Northeast. Although this magnificent
tree does not survive the warmer
summer conditions in some areas, a
selection of river birch called "Heri-
tage," with salmon-white bark, does
thrive in hot climates.
Other exfoliating birches include
the Monarch birch, which has red-
dish-brown bark on young twigs and
branches and a tawny-gray bark that
peels off the trunk in long, wide
sheets. The gray birch also develops
a white to grayish exfoliating bark and
is a good tree in areas where it may
be too warm for canoe birch.
Winterberry holly, a deciduous
holly that often grows up to 10 feet,
is probably at its best in fall and
winter when its crop of bright red fruit
is in full display on the female plant.
Both male and females are needed
to produce fruit on all the hollies. The
cultivars "Sparkleberry" and "Winter
Red" are worth considering.
The evergreen hollies, and in par-
ticular the blue hollies, fruit.
The viburnums, with their fruit and
form, are attractive in the winter. The
most notable are the linden viburnum
and the recently introduced cultivar
"Oneida," which are deciduous
shrubs that have bright-red berries in
the fall and throughout the winter
long after the foliage has dropped.
American cranberry viburnum can
develop into a fairly large shrub, 8
feet wide and 12 feet high, but its
scarlet fruit ripens in late summer and
persists through winter.
The Chinese elm is a tree that de-
velops an interesting bark pattern as
the plant matures. The bark exfoliates
with age in irregular spots to expose
many colors.
