When I became a mother, I imagined my kids growing up helping with the garden, playing in the soil, and learning the names of trees around them. I hope I can cultivate a love of nature within them, just as I have.

‘Hot Wings’ Tatarian maple is one example of a maple that does fairly well on tough sites like those we see in urban areas. This tree has great color interest through the seasons, with red to burgundy fall color and bright red samaras that definitely catch the eye! 🌳🍁
