	Pinus virginiana 'Wates Golden' We first spotted this pine in Oregon where it stood out like a light bulb from its surroundings. We have used it in several locations here in Georgia, and, though not as brilliantly yellow, it does show some remarkable golden tinges after a few years in the ground.
	Pinus strobus, White Pine It is hard to decide which tree to nominate as a specimen in this picture as there is both a lovely weeping Japanese Maple as well as the weeping white pine. Nevertheless, we've chosen to highlight this gracefully pendulous white pine as it fit its isolated niche so well and softened the surrounding hardscaping.
	Cercidiphyllum japonicum, Weeping Katsura Tree This specimen graces our front entry. Every year it seems to become more beautiful. We're not sure just how large it may become, but we did have to trim it this past year to keep it within bounds. The tree is now about six years old.
	Acer palmatum, Japanese Maple We pass by this Japanese maple almost everyday yet never cease to be amazed. In spring and summer it is in full red color and in fall it shows off with unbelievable orange to red-orange. This tree was planted before Bloodgoods were even known in the area thus we can't be sure of the exact cultivar. Nevertheless, for those who wonder what size a Japanese maple can assume... let this be a suggestion.
