Award-winning Pennsylvania Pride grown varieties suitable for most of the Mid-Atlantic & New England Landscapes Awarded annually by the Pennsylvania Horticultural society, the Gold Medal Plant Award program began in 1978 to recognize woody plants of outstanding merit. Since these varieties are often underused in home landscapes, noted nurseryman Dr. J. Franklin Styer conceived of an award to bring attention to woody plants of superb eye-appeal, hardiness and performance.
In addition to the characteristics mentioned above, the annual Gold Medal Winners must be hardy and also display some degree of year-round appeal with respect to foliage, bark, form or flower.
When you select Pennsylvania Pride varieties that have won the Gold Medal Award, you can be assured that what is planted will be disease and pest resistant and easy to grow. Take an interest in outstanding woody selections that have attained the distinction of being a Gold Medal Plant Award Winner. And, because these varieties are grown as part of the extensive line of guaranteed Pennsylvania Pride nursery stock, they're sure to be a source of pride in the home landscape for years to come.
