Canopy covered in bloom
Canopy covered in bloomTokyo Tower takes the fringetree's famous snow-in-May bloom and stands it upright. This columnar selection of the Chinese fringetree grows a narrow 12 to 15 feet tall by only 4 to 6 feet wide, and in late spring every upright branch drips with fringed, lightly fragrant white flowers that look like fresh snow caught in the leaves. The foliage is darker and glossier than our native fringetree, gold in fall, and with age the trunk peels in handsome tan and gold. Slow growing and tidy, it slots into courtyards, entries, and narrow side yards where nothing else this showy will fit.
Off-the-lot means you pick it up and plant it yourself. Planted means we deliver it, plant it right, and back it with our Year One warranty. Tap a price to add it to your list, then send the whole list to Matt in one request. Want several of one tree, or a mix? Add them all and Matt quotes the count.
What does "gallon" mean? It is the size of the container the tree is growing in, not how many trees you get. The bigger the number, the bigger and more established the tree you take home, so a 30 gallon tree gives you shade and privacy years sooner than a 15 gallon one.
Full warranty for one year after planting. This comes with any needed care and free check ups upon request. All needed treatments or pruning are included for first year. If tree fails to thrive, no cost replacement.
Picked, delivered, and planted by a Board Certified Master Arborist.
Follow-up visits through the whole first year, not a wave goodbye.
Deep root feeding and structural pruning while it takes hold.
That is the warranty. No fine print, no chasing us down.
Pick a spot with full sun to part shade. This one stays under 20 feet, so it fits close: 8 to 10 feet from the house, a patio, or a fence line. Heavy Missouri clay is not a problem for this tree. Growth rate is slow, so you know what to expect season to season.
Not sure about your spot? Send us a photo of the yard with your quote request and we will tell you straight if it will work.
Water deeply once or twice a week through the first growing season, and step it up in July and August heat. Keep a 2 to 3 inch mulch ring around the base, pulled back from the trunk. Spring and fall are both good planting windows in mid-Missouri.
Or skip the checklist: have us plant it and Year One covers all of this. We feed it, prune it, and come back to check on it.
Request a quote and tell us where it is going. We will confirm availability, delivery, and a planting date.
Straight answers to what people ask before they buy. Anything else, just call.
Shape and polish. Tokyo Tower is a narrow column, 4 to 6 feet wide, with glossier, darker leaves and slightly earlier bloom. Our native American fringetree grows as a wide, airy small tree with a softer look. Tight formal spot, Tokyo Tower. Natural spread, go native.
Yes, a light, clean sweetness, strongest on warm evenings. It is subtle rather than perfumey, which most people prefer near a patio or front door, exactly where this narrow tree likes to live.
Expect several inches to a foot a year. That patience is part of the package: it stays where you put it, holds its column without pruning, and a 15 gallon tree is already a meaningful head start.
Yes. Every tree on the lot has an off-the-lot price, you pick it up and plant it yourself. The planted price adds delivery, planting, and the Year One warranty.
Every planted tree comes with follow-up visits, deep root feeding, and structural pruning through its first year. If the tree fails in Year One, we make it right. You can extend it to Year Two for 20 percent and Year Three for 15 percent of the planted price.
Spring and fall are both good windows. Fall planting gives the roots time to settle in before summer heat. Request a quote and we will work out timing with you.
Yes. The whole lot is open to trade buyers. Ask about volume pricing when you reach out.
Tell us the spot and the job. A Board Certified Master Arborist picks with you, plants it right, and stands behind it for Year One.
