Abstract: A Willow Oak tree named ‘QPSTA’ having dense, narrow-pyramidal branching habit, dense canopy, dominant central leader, and relatively fast growth rate and which is also capable of being reproduced reliably using softwood cutting.

Abstract: An oak tree named ‘QNSTD’ having a dense branching habit and consistent red new growth persisting in summer, and also capable of being reproduced reliably using vegetative cuttings.

Abstract: An Oak tree named ‘QNSTC’ having a dense, upright branching habit and consistent red to orange fall color, and also capable of being reproduced reliably using vegetative cuttings.

Abstract: A Willow Oak tree named ‘QPSTB’ having a dense canopy, dominant central leader, unique red fall color, and relatively fast growth rate, and also capable of being reproduced reliably using softwood cutting methods.

Abstract: An Oak tree named ‘QSSTH’ having an upright branching habit and consistent red fall coloration, and also capable of being reproduced reliably using vegetative cuttings.

Abstract: An Oak tree named ‘QNSTG’ having an upright branching habit and consistent red new growth persisting in summer, and also capable of being reproduced reliably using vegetative cuttings.

Abstract: A Willow Oak tree named ‘QPSTJ’ having an upswept branching habit, dense canopy, dominant central leader, unique red fall color, and relatively fast growth rate, and also capable of being reproduced reliably using softwood cutting methods.

Abstract: A new and distinct Ulmus parvifolia tree which is particularly distinguished in having an attractive, wide-spreading globe shape, being wider than it is tall, having lustrous and leathery dark green leaves, attractive puzzle-like, patchy and colorful quilt-like exfoliating bark patterns. The tree has a very dense and heavy canopy, and scaffold branch crotch angles of 60 to 70 degrees forming a strong tree which endures extremes of weather much better than most other members of the same and other shade tree species.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of Ulmus parvifolia of distinct vase-shaped growth habit which resembles an American Elm in ultimate mature tree shape. The tree is characterized in having exfoliating patchy bark in attractive patterns which cover exposed bark root portions, branches over one inch in diameter and the trunk which has distinctive butresses. The tree is exceedingly durable to extremes of weather, and is resistant to common Elm pests and diseases. The tree has a dense, strong upright branching habit, with narrow but very strong branch crotch angles, and numerous thin terminal twigs which produce a dense canopy of lustrous foliage. Leaves are densely borne at the terminals of the twigs to render a full, attractive shade tree.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of trident maple (Acer buergeranum) named `Abtir` characterized by (1) rapid growth; (2) early exfoliating bark; (3) lustrous dark green summer foliage; (4) and superb grayed-purple fall foliage.

Abstract: A black tupelo tree named `NXSXF` having an upright, conical growth habit with a dense foliage canopy, a dominant leader with uniformly spaced secondary branches extending upwardly, consistent red fall color, leaf spot resistance, and the capability of being reproduced reliably by budding.
