Over the last 20 years, we've built one of the most successful shrub brands in North America. Adding trees to the Proven Winners^® ColorChoice^® line, then, is a natural outgrowth of our mission to offer the best woody plants on the market. We are proud to work with Maria Zampini of UpShoot to select, distribute, and market the varieties that make up the new Proven Winners tree line.

The primary selection criteria for Proven Winners ColorChoice Trees is similar to that of ColorChoice Shrubs: superior beauty, disease resistance, landscape-friendly size and habit, multi-season interest, and retail appeal. The line includes:

Metamorphosa^™ Japanese maple (Acer palmatum) ¤ Avalanche^™ Asian birch (Betula x) ¤  Midnight Express^™ redbud (Cercis canadensis)  

Golden Shadows^® pagoda dogwood (Cornus alternifolia) ¤ Crusader^® hawthorn (Crataegus crus-galli)  ¤  Lollipop^® crabapple (Malus sp.) 

Show Time^™crabapple (Malus sp.) ¤ Spring Glory^® serviceberry (Amelanchier canadensis)  ¤  Sweet Sugar Tyme^® crabapple (Malus sp.)  

 Pink Snow Showers^® flowering cherry (Prunus sp.) ¤ Skinny Fit^™ ginkgo (Ginkgo biloba)
