Best Memorial Day Weekend Trees
Pindo Palm
The Pindo Palm trees are durable and hardy palms. They feature silvery/blue-gray leaves that arch up and out, creating an umbrella-like shape while providing extra shade. Their distinctive look is like no other palm! They thrive in a location with full sun exposure.
As most palms do, Pindos look fantastic when planted around the pool, adding a tropical vibe to the atmosphere. They also supply the pool, and other parts of your yard, with additional shade. These palms are easy to grow and develop into a small-to-medium size, so they can be planted in tight or smaller areas. Pindo Palm trees will surely stand out in any setting.
Date Palm
The Date Palm trees are the ultimate palm for your pool. These palms are also often found at resorts and shopping centers. When planted around a pool, Date Palms provide excellent shade due to its wide fronds. They are also great options for pool landscaping as they produce very minimal litter throughout the year.
Date Palms looks best when planted in clusters of three to five palms of varying heights to create a more natural style. We also recommend planting them in rows and at similar heights to create an instantaneously formal look. They can be planted almost anywhere as they are hardy to cold and heat, and drought-tolerant.
Museum Palo Verde
The Museum Palo Verde is a beautiful shade tree for Nevada. Our Palo Verde is a hybrid of different, older Palo Verde species that bring out the best qualities from each original variety.
The unique combination resulted in a tree with fuller foliage, large and prolific yellow flowers, and a thorn-less trunk that has an eye-catching blue-green color. Between the yellow blooms and the unique trunk style, the Museum Palo Verde provides a stark contrast to just about any landscape.
This tree allows some light through the foliage throughout the day, while also suppling plenty of overall shade. This is especially beneficial when you want to add shrubs and other plant material that need partial sun under the widespread canopy of the Museum Palo Verde.
Magnolia
Every variety of Magnolias that we grow are a popular choice with our customers at Moon Valley Nurseries. Many are drawn to the Magnolia's softball-sized and fragrant white flowers, which are truly breathtaking to see in bloom. The flowers bloom throughout the summer and fall and they attract many of our pollinating friends like hummingbirds and butterflies.
The flowers aren't the only thing that makes the Magnolia a popular tree for our region. Many of our customers love the attractive glossy leaves and the Magnolia's ability to produce a thick canopy for summer shade relief. Magnolias are super easy to grow, and they can handle even the hottest of summer days.
Vitex
The Vitex is a striking multi-trunk tree and is a favorite for its unique purple flowers that bloom on long spikes that form at every growth tip of the tree. The Vitex blooms during the late spring and into the summer season. The flowering spikes on the Vitex tree, like other trees on this list, are popular with our pollinating friends.
In addition to the stunning flowers, the trunk of the tree is also an interesting part of the Vitex. The twisted and tangled growth pattern gives this tree a statuesque appearance in any landscape, especially when covered in night-time lighting. This tree loves the full sun and in the winter the leaves turn a golden yellow color.
