Paeonia suffruticosa- Tree Peony- Slow growing woody shrubs which do not get cut back as common garden peonies do. Huge flowers in May. They are usually grafted on garden peonies, so keep basal suckers cut off. Plant a little deep to help the tree peony get it’s own roots, freeing them from the graft. Best in part shade, moist well-drained soil. Most get 3’ tall, 3-5’ wide. We have named varieties. Deer resistant.

Pyrus- Ornamental Pear. I have decided these are junk trees no matter how improved the varieties claim to be. They are split in half during heavy snow or ice storms, even high winds can twist half the tree right off.

May I suggest Crataegus viridis ‘Winter King’ or a nice Crabapple, a tree Lilac¼¼?
