Black Oak

Quercus velutina

"The Black Oak Tree, `Quercus velutina,' is a deciduous tree with deeply furrowed bark that is nearly black on mature trees. Very similar to the Red Oak, the main difference is the ability of the Black Oak to thrive on poor or varied soils. It will occur naturally on poor sandy or clay hillsides. Historically, the inner bark of the Black Oak tree was important for its tannin and as a source of yellow dye. The Black Oak is also know as the Yellow Oak, Yellowbark Oak or Smoothbark oak."

Red Pendula Begonia

Red Pendula Begonia

The Begonia Pendula Red, `Begonia Pendula Red,' displays multitudes of beautiful red flowers.  This spring planted tuber has much smaller flowers than upright begonias, and also requires more water.  Sometimes called basket begonias, Pendula makes up in numbers what the flowers lack in size.  Light fertilization applied weekly will assist in maintaining healthy, vibrant blooms.  Daily watering should be applied in warm weather, as they should never be allowed to dry out.
