We’re on to our Final Four! Will your favorite tree advance to the Championship Matchup? Here’s a recap of your SGN Tournament of Trees FINAL FOUR:
Coming in hot with heart-shaped leaves and knockout spring color, meet the Eastern Redbud, a true fan favorite! This standout contender made it to the Final Four for good reason: Dazzling pink blooms that arrive before the leaves. Eastern Redbud has unique branching and vibrant foliage and is tough, adaptable, and compact – perfect for urban and residential landscapes.
The Serviceberry beauty offers four-season beauty with stunning spring blooms, summer berries for wildlife, great fall color, and attractive winter bark. We love this native pollinator habitat for all that it gives and receives. Plus, there is nothing better than a freshly baked Serviceberry crumble with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
Bald Cypress is still standing strong! This resilient tree is a champion of wetlands, thriving in swamps, along rivers, and even in city landscapes. With its feathery foliage, incredible fall color, and famous “knees” that rise from the ground, it’s easy to see why Bald Cypress is a fan favorite.
The undefeated champion, Bur Oak! This powerhouse has dominated the competition, winning the Tournament of Trees the last three years in a row. With its massive, majestic presence and unbeatable resilience, it’s no surprise that Bur Oak has been a fan favorite. But can it take home the title again?
Keep an eye on our Facebook and Instagram stories to vote for your favorites!
Will Bur Oak continue its reign, or is this the year a new champion rises? We can’t wait to find out!
