The introduction of "new and improved" woody ornamentals to the nursery and landscape industry demand may years of evaluation and observation. The researcher waits for record heat and cold, drought and soggy conditions, looks for indications of invasiveness, ease of propagation, and the emergence of significant disease and insect problems. Visual appeal, growth rate and care/culture nuances are recorded along the way and compared to plants already in the trade. The plants described in this paper are uncommon in landscape, have proven themselves in the arboretum, and deserve further evaluation in the landscaped of East Texas.
