Columnar in form, 'Red Obelisk' is aptly named: a significant red-burgundy-black landmark when it's in leaf, and still a formidable vertical presence in winter. In a word, monumental, but don't be afraid of using it! For heaven's sake, we need the whole breadth of scale in our landscapes! You'll even see your house from space - kidding. But you'll be able to easily tell people how to find your house without GPS. Landmarks, especially if they are plants, are better, don't you think? Best color in more sun.

These trees will require regular water for the first five years or so. Our established, mature trees provide the backdrop to our dry garden and receive no supplemental summer water.

Carefully packed for each plant

Once your order is ready, we bring the plants from our greenhouses into a holding area. Each plant is wrapped by hand and, when needed, staked to protect tender stems. Because our inventory is so diverse, we adjust the packing method for each plant based on its size, type, and stage of growth.

We reuse clean paper and plastic packing materials whenever practical. It is easier on the planet and helps keep shipping costs down for you, too.

Choose your Monday ship date

At checkout, choose from the available Monday ship dates. We ship with UPS from Monmouth, Oregon, and you will receive an email with tracking information when your shipment is prepared or enters the UPS system.

Arrival times vary by destination and weather, so we cannot guarantee a specific delivery date or time.
