There are 8 beautiful varieties offered this year, including the very
rare "Daybreak" (in limited quantities). All trees arrive
balled/burlapped, and are at least 4-5' high (most are larger). For
protected locations in Owen Sound, all varieties shown will be hardy if
properly cared for, but if you are in a more exposed area you may wish
to purchase "Encore" or "Goldstar" as they are the hardiest.
