Willow Family (Salicaceae). Peachleaf willow (Salix amygdaloides) is a small to medium sized tree with one to several trunks up to 12 m tall (40 feet) (Mc Gregor et al. 1986, Stephens 1973). The twigs are gray to light yellow, shiny, and flexible. The leaves look like peach leaves; they are yellowish green above, pale to white-glaucous beneath, glabrous, lance-shaped, 3-8 cm (1.2-3") long and finely serrate. The petioles are glandless. Catkins emerge with the leaves; pistillate (female) catkins are 3-8 cm long, on leaf branchlets 1-4 cm long. Bracts are deciduous, pale yellow, and villous on the inside. The fruits are ovoid capsules 3-5 mm long, glabrous, uncrowded on the axis giving the catkin a loose, open appearance. When ripe, the capsules open to release tiny wind-born seeds with silky hairs at their base. Peachleaf willow flowers in May and fruits in June.

Flowers are followed by edible, round, red plums (1″ diameter) with bright yellow pulp which ripen in early summer. Although the plums can be eaten raw, the quality is somewhat poor. The fruits are perhaps better used for preserves and jellies. Toothed, oblong to ovate leaves are 3-4″ long and turn yellow to red in autumn. Branches and twigs are an attractive dark reddish-brown and sometimes have thorny lateral branchlets. American Plum is very hardy and drought resistant. Excellant for wildlife plantings.

Female flowers give way to small, egg-shaped, 1/2″ long, edible nuts (maturing July-August) which are encased in leafy, husk-like, ragged-edged bracts. Nuts are similar in flavor to the European filbert, and may be roasted and eaten or ground into flour, but are also commonly left for the squirrels and birds.

Dogwood, Redosier
This redtwig dogwood cultivar is a rapid-growing, multi-stemmed, deciduous shrub which grows to a maximum size of 4-5′ tall with a rounded, spreading (stoloniferous) habit. Denser and more compact than the species due in large part to its shorter internodes. The outstanding ornamental feature of this plant is its bright red winter stems which are particularly showy against a snowy backdrop. Tiny white flowers appear in flat-topped clusters (to 2.5″ diameter) in late spring, with sparse, intermittent, additional flowering sometimes continuing into summer. Flowers give way to clusters of whitish (sometimes with a bluish tinge) drupes in late summer. Fruit is quite attractive to birds and is generally considered to have as much if not more ornamental interest than the flowers. Ovate to lanceolate, dark green leaves (2-4″ long) turn an attractive reddish purple in autumn.

Cottonwood, Male
Cottonwood is a rapid growing tree and becomes very large with age. Sexes are separate. Male catkins show colorful red stamens in the spring. The small, light seeds are attached to a white cottony substance which aids in wind dispersal of the seeds. Female trees produce tremendous amounts of the seed which can literally make the ground white. Tree form is upright spreading with an oval to rounded crown. The glossy medium green leaves are 3-5″ long and equally wide. Fall color is yellow. Because of the tree’s large size and tendency for branches to break in wind and ice storms, Cottonwood is usually not recommended for residential landscapes or other small properties. It is a good tree for highway and park plantings where little maintenance is possible. Cottonwood is native throughout the upper Midwest.

Quaking aspen can be identified by it’s leaves and bark. The leaves are round and finely toothed. In the summer months the leaves have a deep green color. In the fall, the leaves turn a golden color. They look almost like gold coins. When the wind blows the leaves appear to be quivering, trembling or quaking thus the origin of the common name. The bark of the quaking aspen has a distinctive white color. The bark is useful medicinally as well as nutritionally. The bark is a good source of protein especially in the fall and winter months when protein levels are high relative to other plant species. Uses for Aspen are farmstead windbreaks and riparian plantings, along pond and streams, wetlands and woody draws.

Apricot
A hardy fast growing tree, bearing stone fruit, closely related to the peach.

The flowers are white to pink, tinged with the same dusky red that appears on the petiole, with five regular sepals, petals and many stamens, and open very early in the spring. The fruit, which ripens end of July to mid-August, according to variety, is a drupe, like the plum, with a thin outer, downy skin enclosing the yellow flesh (mesocarp), the inner layers becoming woody and forming the large, smooth, compressed stone, the ovule ripening into the kernel, or seed. When growing naturally, it is a medium-sized tree. It is propagated by budding on the musselplum stock. A great number of varieties are distinguished by cultivators. Large quantities of the fruit are imported from France. The kernels of several varieties are edible. The tree has a golden orange fall color.
