Christmas Fern-3 root divisions

Christmas Fern-3 root divisionsChristmas Fern-3 root divisions: "Botanical Name. Polystichum acrostichoides Description. The Christmas fern grows to about 18 inches tall and wide with all of the fronds emerging from a central crown. As the plant ages - it produces more fronds - but the usual number is about 20 on the typical plant. Given go  od growing conditions - plants produce many more fronds than youll see in the wild. The base of the frond and the central crown is covered with brown - scruffy scales. The fronds are pinnately compound - meaning there is a central axis with the individual leaflets - pinnae in fern lingo - - produced at right angles down its length. The pinnae are 2 inches long - but get proportionally smaller as you move down the midrib. Typical pinnae have a thumb-like lobe at the top - giving it a mitten-like appearance. Ferns prefer shade with indirect sunlight and high humidity. Moist - well-drained soil."

Blue Point Juniper

Blue Point JuniperBlue Point Juniper | Nature Hills Nursery: "When you think of a classic evergreen shrub that stands watch by a doorway, or gives weight to the corners of a border, you are thinking of the Blue Point Juniper. Formal, but not rigid, Blue Point takes what is best of a background evergreen and showcases it.

The color stays an exceptional blue-green year-round providing a perfect stage for more colorful annuals and perennials. The shape is naturally a soft pyramid, but Blue Point takes a good shearing like a pro and can be shaped any way you would like. Many of Nature Hills customers train Blue Point into a spiral or a formal cone."

American Holly Tree

American HollyAmerican Holly Tree : "The American Holly (Ilex opaca) also called the White Holly or Christmas Holly, is the most familiar holly.  It is a small tree or shrub with striking evergreen foliage that's perfect for a privacy hedge.

The American Holly is easy to identify. It has thick, smooth, dark green, spiny leaves that are a yellowish green underneath. Unlike some hollies, the American Holly keeps its foliage from top to bottom for the life of the tree. It can easily reach a height of 50' with a 35' spread.

Great for a privacy hedge and noise barrier, but its natural pyramidal shape also makes it a perfect ornamental tree for any yard for full sun to part shade."
