Gardener's Tree Wish List

Give a living legacy to Storybook Island.

Storybook Island is in need of new trees.  Our giant Cottonwood trees are old and dying, and we are looking to start replacing them!!  So, Storybook Island is working in conjunction with the Black Hills Master Gardeners to help ensure that Storybook Island remains beautiful and full of trees for generations to come.  Here is a list that we compiled with the help of the Master Gardeners:

• Autumn Purple Ash

• Emerald Lustre Norway Maple

• Autumn Blaze Maple

• Silver Maple

• Autumn Flame Red Maple

• Tulip Tree

• Autumn Blaze Pear

• Freeman Red Maple

• Heritage River Birch

• Eastern Redbud

• Royal Red Maple

• Star Magnolia

• Red Pointe Maple

• Royal Raindrops Crabapple

• Spring Flurry Serviceberry

• Musashino Columnar Zelkova

• Crimson Maple

• Kousa Dogwood

• Male Ginkgo

• Downy Serviceberry
   

If you have any other questions about trees that are appropriate for our wonderful park, please contact us.  We are working in conjunction with the Black Hills Master Gardeners and we will do our best to help you make the best decision on a tree that is sure to keep growing for years and years!
