Twister!

We've all seen twisted plants in the landscape like Harry Lauder's Walking Stick and Corkscrew Willow, but what about a twisted blackgum?  'Zydeco Twist' is a twisted and contorted form of a hardy native tree!  This would make a fun addition to any existing garden.  It also has fantastic fall foliage, which turns a bright red!  Since this plant is a tough native, it is pretty free of disease and insect problems!  The pictures were taken at Shadow Nursery and the plants were around 10' tall.
