With bright red fall foliage, this native black Chokeberry is easy to grow in full sun to part shade, and can be used in a mass or as an edging plant. Plants have a wide range of soil tolerance including boggy soils, which makes it great for a stream or pond border. Does produce edible fruit when placed in full sun. Fruits are chokingly astringent, but can be made into jams and jellies.

Grows 40 to 60 feet tall and 15 to 20 feet wide
Carolina Sapphire Cypress (also called Arizona Cypress) is a beautifully tall, wide, and evergreen tree that grows best in full sun and well-drained soil. It is moderately drought and salt tolerant and needs little water once established. Built for the brutal head of North Carolina summers.
The foliage has beautiful, silvery-blue to teal coloration year-round, and the bark is gray to brownish-black. The branches are sturdy but have a lacy appearance and its aroma and color interest make a great display in holiday greenery.
Arizona cypress is relatively trouble-free and moderately deer-resistant, making it a good choice for screening when compared to other fast-growing evergreen choices. It can be used as a specimen tree or for windbreaks.
