I am a retired physician who has been collecting woody ornamentals for over 20 years. These selections are hardy  in the harsh climate of the upper Midwest (Zone 4).

Our hobby has evolved over the years to a collection of  over 275 varieties of trees and shrubs gathered from botanical gardens, arboreta, specialty nurseries and other collectors. We will be happy to send you our complete plant list. Address your request to ewcoff@earthlink.net or write to us.

Our chief interest has been our collections of a) oriental maples, b) viburnums, c) oriental magnolias, and d) hornbeams.
