Wild Plum Tree
$23.99
WIld Plum Tree Prunus Americana
Wild Plum Tree: Prunus americana, also known as the American plum tree, is a native tree that flourishes in most USDA growing zones. Its footprint stretches across the United States from the Canadian border to the south.
Historically, Native American indigenous people, including the people of the Cheyenne and Navajo nations, cultivated this tree for nourishment and used the branches in ceremonies.
That dual purpose rings true still today.
While some plum tree species are ornamental with fruit that's best left to the birds, the American plum tree pulls double duty. Indeed, it's both a breathtaking decorative tree and the bearer of delicious, edible plums.
The Immense Beauty of the the Wild Plum Tree
The wild plum tree is a smaller, deciduous tree that grows to a maximum height of just over twenty feet. Its branches sweep out from a single trunk, and it has a gracefully branching crown that spreads about fifteen feet wide.
The angelic white flowers have five pleasingly rounded petals that usually grow in clusters. When in full bloom, the American plum tree appears as though a blanket of snow draped itself over the branches. The blossoms last several days to a week and then give way to the fruit.
The fruit tastes slightly tart and is refreshing on the tongue. Fruits can be mauve, red, or purple. The fruit is compact and juicy. You can use it to make preserves, wine, jams, or pastries.
Caring for Wild Plum Tree
Wild plum trees are not fussy about the soil as long it provides adequate drainage. They love to have plenty of water, but they do not prefer standing water for an extended time.
Amending the soil with natural compost will help you grow a hardy, resilient plum tree.
Occasional pruning of any suckers that develop will train your American plum into a stately, taller shape. However, if you want a bushier appearance, you can skip the trimming. There is no right or wrong answer--it's all about the look you want to achieve.

Partridgeberry is a low-growing perennial plant that grows in dense, highly-shaded woodlands. Due to its mat-like growth habit, trailing stems, and glossy, vibrant green leaves, TN Nursery advises customers to plant partridgeberry plants as a ground cover in shady areas.
Partridge Berry, A Plant of Many Names
If you are researching shade garden plants, you might also find partridgeberry listed under these names:
Squaw berry
Two-eyed berry
Running fox
Partridge berry (separated into two words)
These all refer to the same plant, Mitchella repens. Whatever name you may call it, you will enjoy the rich hues of the leaves and the clustered berries.
Partridgeberry is a woodland creeper that forms mat-like whorls along the forest floor. Its stems are smooth near the growing tip and have the sparsest of "hairs."
As the stems age, they spread by reproducing. They grow offshoots that emerge singly or in pairs from nodes below the previous year's fruit. After reproduction, branch stems emerge.
The partridge berry plant produces small, fragrant, white flowers in late spring and summer. After the blooms finish, elongated red berries appear. Partridgeberry fruit is edible, so harvest the berries to make jam or jelly.
Partridgeberry is native to North America.
It grows in forest habitats from New England, sweeping across to the Great Lakes region and as far south as Florida and Texas.
Partridgeberry is a trailing, evergreen vine. Its typical leaves are just under an inch long and may present solid green leaves or variegated white lines. A slender but sturdy stem supports the leaves and berries.
Because it is an evergreen plant, this ground cover is famous in pots and decorative planters. Gardeners and home decorators enjoy using Mitchella repens stems and berries for winter wreath making and other holiday decor. The color contrast of the red berries and green leaves makes a classic combination that instantly makes you think of making merry.

Red Maple Tree
$25.99
Red Maple Tree (Acer rubrum)
Red Maple Tree: Acer rubrum, formerly Acer sanguineum, or the common name red maple, is an American native deciduous tree species. TN Nursery hears from customers who seek this stunning tree as a shade tree, accent tree, or specimen in their gardens. It grows in almost every region of the contiguous United States.
Other names for the red maple tree include the following:
Carolina Maple
Curled Maple
Scarlet Maple
Soft Maple
Swamp Maple
Where (and How) to Plant Your Red Maple Tree
The red maple tree is relatively easy to care for. You will meet its critical needs when you plant it. It starts with location --select a sunny site that will receive at least six hours of daily sunshine. The partial sun will also suffice, although the colors may be less brilliant.
This species adapts to many soil types but requires the soil to have woody material when you plant it. Think of the growing conditions in its native woods--which makes perfect sense! Amend the soil with hardwood mulch, peat moss, compost, or leaf litter. After planting, you will only need to mulch around the tree once in spring and again in the fall.
Once planted, the seedling needs about an inch of water every week, especially during the hottest summer days. However, the red maple tree will become drought-tolerant after the roots grow strong and healthy.
The Tall and Handsome Looks of the Red Maple Tree
The red maple tree can grow tall--up to 120 feet and with a 50-foot wide canopy. The trunk can be upward of six feet in diameter! It is certainly impressive when it reaches its mature size.
Early spring brings large, showy magenta or bright red flowers that grow in charming clusters. They are a welcome sight and one of the earliest bloomers of spring. The blossoms have a light, floral fragrance that signals the arrival of spring.
The leaves unfurl in a soft green in the spring and deepen to a dark green shade. Leaves are three-lobed and can measure six inches long and two to four inches across. In the later part of the summer, the color changes again to a rich copper or red--giving the tree its name.

Geraniums Are Beloved by Gardeners
Why do gardeners love geraniums so much? Here are three excellent reasons to invest in this set of two geraniums:
Fast spreading: Besides the obvious fact--their inherent beauty--they are quick spreaders because they spread through an underground shoot as well as self-seed. This rapid growth allows gardeners in almost every USDA growing zone to fill entire beds with color relatively quickly.
Attracting pollinators: Geraniums are fantastic in a pollinator garden. Their bright hues attract colorful butterflies, hummingbirds, and bumblebees. These species help ensure a healthy ecosystem.
A low-care plant: Geraniums don't demand much care. They are happy in partial- to full sun, with occasional fertilizing and minimal water during dry spells. They are drought-tolerant; they will return to life after the first refreshing rainfall if a heat wave leaves them frazzled.
Geranium maculatum Has a Lovely Appearance.
In optimized growing conditions, geraniums can reach almost two feet at maturity--a very nice size for a garden border or in a sunny garden bed.
The leaves and stems of geranium maculatum are rich and dark green. They create pretty foliage that perfectly sets off the rich jewel-toned flowers. Each bloom has five gently rounded petals measuring one to two inches. Each petal has a small lift that lends a shallow cup shape to the flower.

Goat's Beard Plant
$5.99
Goat's Beard Plant (Aruncus dioicus)
Goat's beard, in Latin known as Aruncus dioicus, is a large, herbaceous perennial plant native to North America, Europe, and Asia. It is known for its tall, feathery plumes of creamy white or light pink flowers that bloom in late spring or early summer.
Goat's beard prefers moist, well-drained soil and partial shade to full sun, and it can grow up to 4 feet in height and 4 feet wide. Its foliage is deeply lobed and resembles a fern, and its flowers attract bees and other pollinators.
In addition to its ornamental value, goat's beard has been used for medicinal purposes. It contains diuretic and anti-inflammatory compounds and has been used to treat various ailments, including urinary tract infections, arthritis, and diarrhea.Goat's beard is a low-maintenance plant that requires little pruning or fertilization. It is an excellent addition to a woodland garden or mixed border and can be used in cut flower arrangements.
Goat's Beard Plant: Aruncus dioicus, aka bride's feathers or the goat's beard plant, is a deciduous perennial wildflower with soaring height and a striking feathery plume on top. The species is native to several continents, including Europe, Asia, and North America.
Goat's beard plants grow naturally in filtered sunshine or full sun locations. The native habitat of Aruncus dioicus is a forest clearing, rich with organic matter and consistent moisture (without sogginess!).
As a native species, goat's beard plants are well-adjusted across much of the United States, preferring moderate temperate climates. When you add a few goat's beard plants to your yard, it becomes a showstopper. The goat's beard is a centerpiece that attracts attention thanks to its soaring height and signature plume.
Goat's Beard Can Host the Rarely-Sighted Dusky Azure Butterfly
The dusky azure butterfly is a rare sight. It relies on the goat's beard plant as its larval host. Without a plentiful goat's beard, the dusky azure cannot lay eggs--it depends on the plant's nectar and its large, dense foliage to hide the eggs and new caterpillars from predatory birds.
Dusty azure interactions most commonly occur in the higher elevations of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Georgia. Sparse sightings have also happened in western North Carolina, eastern Tennessee, and north as far as Indiana.
The dusky azure butterfly is elusive and rare, but as they seek new habitats, planting Aruncus dioicus might help--it's at least worth a try to save them.
The Feathery Plume of the Goat's Beard Plant Is So Unique
The goat's beard plant can grow as high as six feet and spread through a vigorous root system, giving them about four feet of elbow room.
Large bright green leaves grow on narrow but sturdy stems. Each leaf can reach two to four feet long, is oval-shaped, and has serrated edges. The tall, feathery, cream-colored spikes rise from the leaves and tower above them at the end of spring or early summer. When the plumes finish showing off, some gardeners cut them back to make the plant grow into a bushier shape. Others, however, leave them to go to seed and watch the birds descend on the tall spikes to collect the bounty.

Maidenhair Fern
$5.19
Maidenhair Fern
Maidenhair Fern: The Maidenhair Fern is a perennial fern species that grows in humid and temperate areas of the United States.
You might also recognize them by their other names:
Rosy maidenhair
Northern maidenhair
Silver dollar maidenhair
American maidenhair
Don't let the many names trick you--they all refer to maidenhair ferns. The Maidenhair fern belongs to the Adiantum genus, which contains over two hundred species. Its scientific name,adiantum, comes from the Greek word adiantos, which means unwetted.
TN Nursery finds these ferns a favorite for gardeners who live in densely shaded or forested areas, especially if they have consistently moist soil, as you might find near a creek or stream.
Maidenhair Fern has an unique appearance
Maidenhair fern fronds grow from sixteen to twenty-six inches long and form an intriguing softly-rounded oval shape. The spring-green leaflets are shallow and contain two or three forked veins. The veins have a more prosperous, darker green, making a stunning contrast against the softer hue of the leaves.
Despite being robust, the maidenhair fern has a deceptive appearance, that of a delicate plant, due to its tiny leaves. Some describe the leaves as feathery or lacy due to foliage comprising many small, fan-shaped segments.
However, most describe the delicate leaves as "hair-like," thus lending this fern its common name.
The leaves emerge in late winter or early spring. The earliest leaves of the season are an attractive salmon color, but they soon turn a true spring green.
How to Care for a Maidenhair Fern
Maidenhair fern is gorgeous when you plant it in the middle or back row of a border planting or as a stand-alone specimen in a shade garden or water garden. It's also suitable for growing along the northern or shady sides of your home's foundation for a display of lively spring green.
It grows well in shady locations and is easy to establish. It forms large colonies over time, spreading from a dense root system. It takes little care other than watering. Occasionally, you may wish to dig up unwanted growth and divide it into smaller sections.
Maidenhair Ferns are available at TN Nursery

Virginia Creeper
Virginia Creeper - Parthenocissus quinquefolia - is a small plant that people mostly acknowledge for its colorful foliage and berries.
It is a deciduous and woody vine that climbs up on other things and trails on the ground with the help of tendrils that have adhesive disks on the tips that attach to the bark or rock. It is commonly known as Victoria Creeper, Woodbine, Five-leaved Ivy, Five Finger, or Parthenocissus quinquefolia.
It is also native to eastern and central North America. You may find them in open areas such as rocky bluffs, fence rows, banks of streams, ravines, rich woods, thickets, and hillsides. You may also find them growing up on trees or telephone poles.
It is a vigorous, fast-growing plant that may reach around 30 to 50 feet tall and five to ten feet wide. Its leaves have five leaflets, usually in soft green color, which later turns into bronze in spring, dull green in summer, and purple or crimson-red in autumn as the leaves mature.
It is known for its stunning transformation of color in autumn. It possesses clusters of tiny, greenish-white blooms that develop in the upper leaf axils in late spring and mature into small, firm, dark blue to blackberries in late summer or early autumn.
Virginia Creeper performs best in well-drained soil
This plant may withstand a wide variety of environmental conditions. It has a better chance of producing its most pleasing greenery if you grow it in full sun, but it also does fine in partial shade. It performs best in well-drained soil. It will thrive in various soil types, including clay, sand, and loam.
It is drought tolerant and may withstand a wide range of acidity and alkalinity in the soil. It is a low-maintenance plant that requires annual trimming to help retain it at a moderate size. It is crucial to growing the plant in an area that allows expansion and growth.
There are various ways to use this plant in your landscape designs. You may use it as a climber for brick or stone walls of buildings, large trellises, arbors, fences, or through large trees. You may use it as a ground cover to cover rock piles, stumps, or erosion control on slopes.
This perennial plant becomes an essential source of food for birds and bees, squirrels, skunks, and other small creatures that consume them.
It is possible to confuse Virginia Creeper with Poison Ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) because of their similar habitats, climbing habits, and colors. However, it is simple to distinguish between them. Virginia creeper contains five leaflets, but poison ivy always has three leaflets. You may often find these two plants growing together in the same place.
Virginia Creeper is an ornamental plant because of its capacity to cover walls and buildings quickly.
