Everde Growers™ - formerly TreeTown USA

A TreeTown USA Patented Exclusive!

Developed in Texas, Morning Suns vibrant orange-red leaves add color and contrast. Throughout the year, older leaves turn amber red before dropping, adding even more color interest. The plant will loose about 25% of its foliage in the cooler months of the year, but for the most part is evergreen. Bloom sprays are creamy white, appearing in spring and summer, and are followed by bluish-purple fruit in humid regions of the United States. On the west coast, little or no fruit has been observed. A fast dense grower, so can be used as a shade tree, or as the plant responds very well to shearing, makes an excellent clipped hedge or privacy screen.

The plant enjoys a full sun to dappled shade position. USDA Zone 8 - 10

Other fine trees and plants to compliment the new Elaeocarpus.

Once in awhile something really special comes along. A unique breakthrough in a well know plant, Cercis or Redbud. The plants is Cercis Flame Thrower®. Cercis is a well know plant in many regions of America, and so highly prized for its small stature and ornamental value.

In early spring the stems and branchs are adorned with pink flowers hearalding the approach of spring before leaves appear on the tree. Flame Thrower® produces heart shaped foliage that vary in color from burgundy, red, orange, yellow and lime all on the same branch. Terrific plant for the urban garden or commercial landscape, reaching 18 to 20ft in height and the same in spread. The plant enjoyes a full sun to partial shade position. Much to our surprise we have observed little or no leaf scorch in our Evaluation Gardens in the warmer regions of the United States. USDA Zone 5 - 9. 

A Peoples Choice Award Winner at the Farwest Show in 2019.
