Tree In The Garden

Located in Alton Baker Park just north of the Cuthbert Amphitheater, this garden showcases trees noted for their brilliant spring bloom or fall foliage, donated in honor of loved ones as a living legacy. This two-acre garden allows visitors a tranquil respite in the heart of the city. Trees, seating nodes, and both styles of benches are sold out.

The garden surrounds a one-of-a-kind bronze statue of Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. The statue was created by sculptors George Lundeen, Mark Lundeen and Joey Bainer, and is on loan to the visitor complex from Rocket Mortgage by Quicken Loans.

Once he was tapped for Apollo 14, the Chief of the U.S. Forest Service reached out to him and NASA about carrying tree seeds into space. Roosa was happy to do so, carrying 500 seeds with him on their behalf as he orbited the moon.

Opening just in time for the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing, the new Moon Tree Garden sits in front of the recently renovated Apollo Saturn V Center. Each of the trees is second generation, propagated from an original moon tree at Mississippi State University.

Just a couple of blocks south of the Palatka-Lake Butler Trail, the Keystone Heights Library was the recipient of a sycamore Moon Tree in 1984 thanks to a local nursery owner. A new dedication plaque was added in front of the tree in 2015.

Entirely resculpted and renovated since the planting of a sycamore Moon Tree seedling, Cascades Park now serves as a community gathering place in downtown Tallahassee and a northern terminus for cyclists heading down to the Tallahassee-St. Marks Historic State Trail. We don't know if the tree survived the park's renovation, but if you do, please let us know.

Finding the right tree for your home garden can be a challenge. Whether you are looking to add a bit of shade to your property or to screen a view of a neighboring home, trees are often the solution. Ornamental trees can also be used to create a focal point in your garden. Fruit trees are also beautiful and can be grown in orchard fashion or incorporated into your garden.

Popular trees amongst home gardeners include dogwoods, maples, cypresses, cherries, magnolias, birches, crape myrtles, and many more. Use the resources below to determine what types of trees you are attracted to and how to work them into the design of your own garden.

Plum Tree Gardens is located in Noblesville at the northwest corner of 6th Street and South Street. The six residences are for seniors aged 55 and older. Each apartment features two bedrooms, appliances including a washer and dryer, accessibility features such as low step showers and grab bars.

Inspired by observing a natural graft between two trees, he began to shape his trees. His intricate grafting techniques resulted in woven wonders made from threads of living wood. Straight tree trunks and branches were carefully bent, rather than cut, and became complex and compound designs in shapes like hearts, lightning bolts, basket weaves and rings. Erlandson claimed to be divinely inspired and spent over 40 years of his life shaping and grafting the bodies and arms of trees. He could control the rate of growth, slowing it down or speeding it up to blend his designs to perfection.

Due to Michael's creative vision, 29 of the remaining trees were saved. During the winter of 1984 they were carefully hand dug and boxed, their roots trimmed, then watered and fertilized to revive the trees. On November 10, 1985 during the "80-Ton Tree Caper", they were hauled over 50 miles of mountains. You can see video of that excursion here. More than 20 municipal, county and state agencies were involved in the permitting process and the ultimate move to their final home at Bonfante Gardens Theme Park, now known as Gilroy Gardens Family Theme Park.

There are 25 Circus Trees still alive today. Ten of these amazing natural wonders are featured in Dixie Cup Plaza near the turnstile area at the front entrance of our Park. Nine of them are planted in various areas inside the Park. The remaining six trees are behind the scenes and are not viewable to the public.

For more information on the life and tales of the Circus Trees or Axel Erlandson, visit our gift shops for a copy of My Father Talked to Trees, a special publication written by Axel's daughter, Wilma Erlandson. If you would like to see each of our trees in person, pick up a Guide to the Circus Trees brochure from our Welcome Center, located in Sugar Plum Plaza to help you locate them in our park.

The best trees for privacy boast dense foliage, grow quickly to at least six to eight feet in height, and thrive when planted close together. Popular choices for evergreen privacy screens include dwarf cypress trees, arborvitae, holly, lilac, and some varieties of juniper. You could also mix things up by planting crabapple with redbud, dogwood, juniper, or holly alongside each other to create a living fence with enough plant diversity to truly thrive.

Apples are pollinated by insects, with bees and flies transferring pollen from flowers of one apple tree to those of another. But you don't need to plant a whole orchard to enjoy apples right off the tree. Two trees will reward any family with enough fruit to enjoy and share with friends.

Apples require pollen from a different apple variety to grow fruit. If you only have room in your yard for one tree, there may be crab apples in your neighborhood to provide the pollen your tree needs.

This rootstock, sometimes termed 'semi-dwarfing,' other times 'semi-standard,' produces a tree about 80% of the height of a standard tree. In many areas of Minnesota, this can work out to roughly a 14-18 foot tree.

M.9 has poor anchorage due to brittle roots and a high fruit to wood ratio which means it requires staking for the life of the tree. M.9 is very susceptible to fire blight. It produces moderate amounts of root suckers and burr knots.

How much space do you need for apple trees? A good rule of thumb for a garden fruit tree is to provide at least as much horizontal space as the anticipated height of the tree. So, if your tree will grow up to 8 feet high, make sure there are 8 feet between it and the next tree.

Throughout the life of the tree, you should water its root zone thoroughly during the growing season whenever there is a dry spell. Ideally, the tree should receive one inch of water from rainfall or irrigation every week from May through October.

It's a good idea to stake the tree for the first few years. Either a wooden or metal stake will work. A stake should be about the height of the tree after being pounded two feet into the ground. Use a wide piece non-abrasive material to fasten the tree to the stake. Avoid narrow fastenings such as wire or twine, as they may cut into the bark.

Once the tree has rough and flaky mature bark, neither winter sun nor chewing animals can harm it, so tree guards will not be necessary. For the first years of its life, however, it's important to protect the trunk of your fruit tree.

Fruit trees should be pruned every year in late winter/early spring, preferably after the coldest weather is past, and before growth begins. Prune minimally, especially with young trees, as excessive pruning will delay or reduce fruiting and create too much leafy growth.

Many apple trees are pruned and trained to allow a central main stem, or leader, to be the foundation of the tree off of which side branches, or scaffolds grow. The tree ends up with a conical or pyramid form. This is called central leader pruning. This is a simple pruning method, and it makes for a compact, balanced, easily managed tree, with fruit that has maximum access to sunlight and air circulation. be457b7860
