Black and white plans are typically used as working plans when installing landscapes. In this design a Japanese Snowbell (Styrax japonicus) and a Little King river birch (Betula nigra ‘Little King’) help to anchor the corners of the patio. Dwarf varieties of large shade trees such as the Little King river birch can work well as specimen plantings where space is limited. [USDA hardiness zone 7a, Madisonville, TN.]
