Attractive, mature trees boost a property’s curb appeal, and offer shade and privacy for residents.
It is no secret that good landscaping increases a home’s value – and trees are an essential element of any design. According to Arborist News, having large established trees in yards can increase property value by as much as 15 per cent.

Scaly Liatris Is a Native That Offers Blooms All Summer Long
On the first day of August 2006, my botanizing companion and I were making only our third trip to a barrens on a farm owned by friends in Kentucky. We already knew that this spot never looked the same twice, so we had few expectations as to what we might see. Our delight on arrival can hardly be described. As far as the eye could see was a sea of shades of purple, pink, and white. My designer brain immediately kicked in—if only I could replicate this in someone’s garden!
