What 3 plants would you like to buy?

It's getting to be that time of year. So I ask. If money were not an option what 3 thing would you buy for the garden this year?
I would buy:
A huge Tri-Colored Beech tree
A corkscrew hazel that produces nuts (almost none do)
Full moon Maple

Sari, I love the corkscrew hazelnut!

I already bought two of the things that I wanted. They won't be shipped until May, but at least I'm assured I'll have them.

I bought a Mrs. Perry D. Slocum lotus and a Blue Beauty tropical water lily. I can hardly wait for the weather to turn so that I can get them started!

I'm not sure about #3, but I have been wanting a couple of dwarf alberta spruces for the front, simple but nice.

Branka

Hmmm. I would buy two huge daphnes and two of the "biggest I could find" climbing hydrangeas, since both of these are notorious for their sloooowwwww growing habits. (And I'd probably have peonies and roses coming out the wazoo.

But since my husband listens to Financial Peace's Dave Ramsey (a.k.a., the "other Dave"), I'm buying small versions of these beauties from Windrose Nursery. And I will enjoy coaxing them into growing into grown up plants :0)

Top trees / shrubbery :#1Emmenopterys species #2 Drocophyllum traversii #3 xFatshedera #4 Hardy Bauhinia Species
TOP Cold Hardy Hibiscus : #1 Hibiscus 'Kopper King' #2 Hibiscus dasycalyx #3 Hibiscus 'Moy Grande'
Top yucca species :
#1Yucca rostrata #2 Yucca schottii #3Yucca thompsoniana

BTW Sari : Maybe the cork screw hazel need two trees to produce seed ??? Just a thought ; they are easy from July cuttings if you can locate another tree ..
Please ask for more favorite plant opinions :))))

I'd buy a whole bunch of different fruit trees! They're about 30 bucks or so each here, so we've only got a few. If money weren't a problem tho, I'd fill my yard with them! Ü

Well, lets see...that would be 3--45 gal Canary Island Palms. Sure, I could get them smaller, but since we are dreaming I'll dream big! Lisa

Hi =o) I'd buy a red dogwood, a weeping alaskan fir or whatever that is, and five snowball viburnums or five fruit trees. We have a curly hazelnut, is corkscrew the same thing? What's a full moon maple? Is it a japanese maple? Sorry for all the ? I'm new to gardening and loving every minute of it. I'd like to have a few different ones of them in the yard too o sorry that's more than 3!

Fruit trees around here are 30 or more. To have fresh fruit! An evergreen forest. (Can that count as 1?). Plants for a watergarden.

My local soil conservation district is selling apple, pear, apricot, plum trees 4 for $50. That includes tree guards, and fertilizer stakes. The trees are 4-5 feet tall.
I would suggest you you contact your local soil conservation district. If they don't do that send me a private e-mail and I will tell you how to get them for ~$10 each.

Hmmmmm? Money no object, hey?

In that case, I'd line the driveway with Chasteberry trees, put in a grape arbor, and a couple of fig trees.

Since I like to dream, I would like a cardiocrinum giganteum. A flowering bulb to 10' with 20 or more 9-12" white trumpet blossoms and a fragrance said to perfume the neighborhood. They take 2-3 years to bloom and then the bulb dies. $34.95. Wouldn't my grasshoppers just love that? The rest of the lottery money I would spend on roses and peonies.

I can get cardiocrinum giganteum for a lot less than that ; we have 3 plants in our garden now . I hope they bloom this year :)

If money were no object, Walking Stick, I love that! A good size Date Palm. Weeping Mulberry Tree. I know they do well here I have seen them. Is Santa taking this down? Ive been good.

mine are simple-tree peony, bears breech and a mock orange like we had when I was a child! Mock orange smelled so goooooooooooooooooood! I want more-but sari said 3!

Brook ; Chaste Trees are not that hard from seed , so what are you waiting for ???;)
Notmartha ; Don't pay attention to what SARI says ...she could never stop at 3 !!!! :)) hee hee hee ;) Rock On!!

Chooch, where can you get the cardiocrinum giganteum for less? How do you grow yours? This may not be a dream after all!

Single or double tuberose, white violets (wrong climate here, but we're just daydreaming, right?), and pistachio tree seedlings--anyone know sources for pistachio seedlings
?
Realistically, I'd love some more fruit and nut trees--got another Granny Smith and two different pear trees this year, plus have three hazelnuts on order. (Got Manchurian apricots and elderberries and rosa rugosa and beach plums and bush cherries last year, my first year here.)

One of the local ladies said her best fruit trees came from pits from grocer purchases instead of catalogs/local nurseries, so I'm going to try that later this year when peaches and cherries appear on sale in the supermarket. Even if we only get fruit one year out of seven due to late frosts here, it still will be nice to have something to replace the inherited old dying/dead poplars.
