Pawpaw Tree
$24.99
Paw Paw Tree (Asimina triloba)
Paw Paw Tree: Asimina triloba, or the paw paw tree, is an unfussy North American native species. It grows in various soil types and across most USDA growing zones. Unlike many fruiting trees, the tree performs well in shady or semi-shade locations.
Gardeners prize the tree for its good looks and the large, delicious fruit it bears. The tree displays large, emerald green leaves in the summertime, turning a bright yellow in the fall. The tree reaches approximately twenty feet high at maturity, making it a very manageable size for most.
The Striking Appearance of the Paw Paw Tree
The paw paw tree, although relatively small in stature, is big in style. It has a full, thick canopy and dark green, somewhat glossy leaves that sway gracefully from their stems.
This tree performs well in woodland or naturalized areas, as it will thrive in shaded or semi-shaded conditions. It will also tolerate several hours of sunshine daily–just keep an eye on the moisture.
This tree attracts birds, who find security in the dense leaves, butterflies, and other small mammals. A tree house offers an entire ecosystem that you'll enjoy watching.
Springtime brings on the six-petaled purple flowers. You can harvest paw paws sometime between the latest days of summer to early autumn.
Asimina triloba Creates an Interesting Fruit
Paw paw fruit is heavy and grows into an oval shape. Although the outside of the fruit resembles a tropical mango (and some folks mistakenly refer to it as such), they are entirely different species. The mango tree is tropical and grows only in sub-tropical and tropical climates. However, this tree grows in cool and moist USDA growing regions in the United States.
The green fruit ripens on the branches and is ready to harvest when they are slightly soft and emit a fruity aroma. Some compare the fruit's taste to a blend of banana and pineapple--it has a smooth, custard-like texture and does not stay fresh for long after picking.

Persimmon Tree

Persimmon Tree
Persimmon Tree: As you shop for this fruit bearing tree, you will notice two origins: an Asian species and a North American species, Diospyros virginiana. TN Nursery specializes in hardy native species that thrive in the United States; therefore, we proudly grow Diospyros virginiana for our customers.
You might also wonder why it is essential for you to understand the distinction. But that is simple--plant hardiness. The Asian variety of the persimmon tree is slightly less resilient to the growing conditions in the United States than Diospyros virginiana. When you invest your money in plants, you want the healthiest, most hardy species to help you achieve a successful outcome. That is a goal we share with you, so that is what you will get with TN Nursery's persimmon tree.
The American persimmon tree pre-dates the first explorers and colonial settlements. The indigenous people first recognized the hardy species could grow almost anywhere, so they cultivated them for food and medicine.
The Persimmon Tree Is a Lovely Ornamental Tree
The American persimmon tree is woody and deciduous; it is a medium-sized tree that reaches a mature height of between thirty to eighty feet.
The tree canopy features bright green, somewhat symmetrical, oval leaves with gently pointed tips. The branches are sturdy but slender and tough when faced with storms, wind, or anything else Mother Nature gives it. The tree bark is a deep gray with an intriguing alligator skin texture.
The American persimmon tree will thrive in poor soil, hot or dry conditions, or in an urban garden. As long as you provide plenty of sunshine, it will do well.
The Sweet Taste of Persimmons
Persimmon fruit is ovate, with an appearance similar to a peach or nectarine. They are sweet, juicy, and delicious. If you don't like persimmons, you can leave the fruit hanging for the wildlife--your backyard flock of birds will thank you.

Mulberry Tree: TN Nursery suggests the lovely mulberry tree for customers who need a medium-sized tree that will provide attractive, full foliage without growing overly tall.
Mulberry fruit, or mulberries, range in color from a lively red to a regal purple The glossy berry has an intriguing and complex flavor--they are juicy yet sweet and sour. Some people harvest those plump, glistening berries for preserving, baking, or snacking.
But many others leave them in the tree to attract and nourish local birds. In fact, some avid birdwatchers reach out to TN Nursery looking for trees to attract their feathered friends--the mulberry is an excellent choice! It provides your backyard birds with early summer nourishment and sturdy branches for nesting.
The Mulberry Tree Is Truly Beautiful
The mulberry tree is a deciduous tree native to North America, Europe, and Asia. It grows in a full-sun location and does not like to stand in the shadow of other trees. Instead, it wants to take center stage in your yard--and yes, it is worthy of such attention.
The mulberry is in the medium height range for trees. It will grow at least thirty feet tall but stop growing at around seventy feet. It produces true green, ovate leaves with softly serrated margins.
The mulberry tree grows from a single, central trunk. The branches will grow sturdy and form a relatively symmetrical shape with a bit of occasional trimming during their young growth phases.
Mulberry tree flowers (called catkins) form in attractively sized clusters around the middle of spring. The blossoms are a creamy white or white with a whisper of fresh spring green. The catkins have an attractive tubular shape that makes way for the clusters of colorful berries in the early summer.
People harvest the berries by hand-picking young trees or by reaching for the branches of a taller mulberry tree by using a long, sturdy pole and giving the branches a shake.
The Mulberry Tree Is Even-Tempered
Some fruit trees are simpler to grow than others--such is the case with the mulberry tree. Besides a sunny location in the yard, it does not ask for much from the gardener. It can tolerate short bouts of drought and poor soil quality.
Pruning will help guide it into a beautiful, shapely tree as it grows. But after it fully develops, it asks nothing from you.

Elderberry
$25.99
Elderberry Shrub
Elderberry , a deciduous, multi-stemmed, small tree, is a native species to the United States. Elderberry shrub is a hardy tree that flourishes across almost all contiguous 48 states.
TN Nursery recommends this shrub to customers who want a species that is drought-tolerant, cold-tolerant, heat-tolerant, and agreeable. Elderberry produces edible fruits that some people harvest for personal use. However, many other gardeners leave the plump berries for the birds and wildlife to enjoy.
Besides "elderberry," the following are a few other common names that refer to this species:
American elder
American elderberry
Common elderberry
Elder tree
The Elderberry Shrub Is Super Easy to Grow
This species grows in nature with no human intervention. You see them along ditch banks, on the south- or west-facing edges of woods, along light or utility lines, or in open fields. These spots represent their preference for full sunshine or a partially sunny location.
When you plant your elderberry shrub, find a spot with the appropriate sunlight and recreate the woody material the species enjoys in the woods. Add a good handful of hardwood mulch, peat moss, compost, or leaf litter--it craves these woody materials. A young elderberry tree requires about one inch of water each week.
After strengthening and growing a little bit, your elderberry tree will become relatively carefree. It will demand nothing of you except water during an extended drought.
The Rustic Good Looks of the Elderberry Shrub
Elderberry shrubs are shrub-like and rounded in shape. They grow as high as twelve feet tall and might grow as wide.
Opposing, bright green compound leaves grow in clusters of seven to eleven leaflets. They are oval-shaped with a narrow tip, light to bright green, and up to six inches long. They have sharply serrated edges. In autumn, the leaves usually turn bright yellow to deep amber.
They blossom profusely in late spring or early summer--many quarter-inch cream-colored flowers that occur in clusters produce fat, round, purple to black berries.

Bamboo Plant
$14.99
BAMBOO PLANT - Arundinaria Gigantea
Bamboo plants have two types of species that are often in use within residential landscapes. These plants increase by releasing underground runners, also known as rhizomes, which might emerge from the parent plant at a distance from the original location.
They bridge those gaps between plants more quickly, making them perfect for use as screens, hedges, and the trendy open groove effect. Because the rhizomes develop horizontally at a depth of roughly 2 to 18 inches, it is possible to keep their growth under control. It can produce stunning thick hedges by employing a rhizome barrier to limit this subsurface expansion. Many of these plants can withstand the cold.
The experience of strolling across a large, open grove full of these tall plants is unlike anything else. They are also helpful for various applications, including specimen groves, perennial security screens, windbreaks, noise and dust shields, groundcovers, and erosion management. They are also widely known for producing a tropical impression in a usually moderate or even frigid environment. The most effective method of controlling this plant is maintaining a groomed path around the planting.
This route's minimum width should equal the maximum possible height of this species selected for the given area, if not more. Undoubtedly, this may not be practicable at all times, and the confinement methods available will vary according to the location. You may contain these plants using techniques such as rhizome barriers or rhizome trimming, both of which need continuous monitoring to be effective. Natural barriers such as everlasting waterbodies and dense darkness may also aid this purpose.
Bamboo Plant is Easily Grown
They are garden plants of the evergreen variety. They are easy to care for and do not require a lot of water. They are used in gardens in many ways and add an exotic feel to any backyard; They can be used as a hedge or screen to add privacy to your yard or in any other garden arrangements. They can grow in almost any climate and can last for many years. They come in a wide range of sizes, including dwarf and giant-sized.
Bamboo requires very little maintenance
These plants can also be grown in small containers inside and outside. Placing a number of them in your landscaping will help you to showcase your other garden plants. They are also known by many cultures to bring luck to their owners. They have also been grown to become bonsai trees. The stems are easily shaped and can be pruned to interlace. You can also prune bamboo trees back into topiaries. The under leaves are removed, leaving only clumps of leaves at the top. When planting bamboo trees as a screen, they should be planted in the area approximately 2 to 3 feet apart.
That allows them to spread out and create the coverage you need. Pruning it back will stop further growth into areas you do not want. Once they have been planted, they will require very little maintenance.

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.

The grape vines are rich green with beautiful triangular foliage. The grapes grow in large clusters and ripen to a rich, deep blue-purple that's a sight to behold.
About the Concord Grape
Concord grapes are a North American native species. It takes its name from Concord, Massachusetts, where an industrious young farmer named Ephraim Bull propagated the first vines for commercial production. Before then, these vines grew in the wild throughout the Northeastern United States and into Canada.
Despite its New England roots and fame in the New York and Pennsylvania wine industry, the Concord grape does tolerate heat, and southern gardeners also enjoy growing them in home gardens. In fact, TN Nursery ships Concord grape vines throughout the entire nation.
Where to Plant Concord Grape Vines
Concord grape vines thrive in full sun for maximum fruit production.
They require a trellis or support structure to help the tall vines as they grow upright, reaching tall toward the sun. Each vine can produce up to twenty pounds of grapes per season, so consider the sturdiness of your structure.
Here's another critical factor in your site selection for Concord grape vines--the longevity of these grape vines. They are long-lived grapes that may live up to forty years.
You must also plan for well-amended, fertile soil that drains well, as these grapes do not prefer to stay wet for extended periods.

Cattail Plant
$6.99
Cattail Plant (Typha latifolia)
Cattail Plant: Typha latifolia, or the common cattail plant, might be the most easily recognized water-loving species in the United States. The species is agreeable, a native of North America, South America, Europe, and Africa. It will thrive in almost all USDA plant hardiness zones in either full sunshine or filtered sun.
Most people know the cattail plant for its presence in swamps, marshes, ponds, and river banks throughout the country. They are more than majestic--they are an essential contributor to their ecosystems.
The cattail plant provides coverage for fish, birds, and frogs against predators like birds and raccoons. This tall foliage--and the shadowing it creates on the water--gives them a safe place to hunt for their meals, lay their eggs, and raise their young.
Similarly, gardeners with a water garden or koi pond on their property can use the cattail plant for the same benefits. This plant is a water feature favorite for TN Nursery staff and customers.
Other Common Names for Typha latifolia
Most call this species cattails, but here are a few other (but less common) nicknames you might hear:
Broadleaf Cattail
Bulrush
Cat-O'-Nine-Tails
Common Cattail
Cattail Plants Provide Classic Beauty to a Water Garden or Koi Pond
Typha latifolia has a grassy appearance--tall, emerald green, lance-shaped leaves with a narrow, well-defined tip. They can measure up to eight feet tall, with an above-water presence of around three to four feet.
The plant develops tall, prominent spikes that display the most familiar feature that makes this plant so famous--its brown or copper-toned cylindrical flower, a water garden classic.
The cattail plant spreads through a vigorous underground root system. Many gardeners who want just a few for ornamental use will plant them in containers, then submerge them in about three feet of water to control the growth.

Black Raspberry
$11.99
Black Raspberry Bush
Black Raspberry Bush: There may be no better summer pleasure than harvesting the bounty of a black raspberry bush. Picking berries is one of life’s most fulfilling and memorable activities. In fact, TN Nursery customers often share poignant childhood memories of harvesting berries in the countryside with parents or grandparents when they call to order this plant.
This shrub is a native species of the eastern United States. It is part of the rose family and has slender, gracefully arching branches. Its blue-green compound leaves usually turn yellow in the autumn, making a lovely fall foliage display.
Its flowers are small and white but rich in nectar. The dainty flowers give way to plump, juicy, red, edible berries. These nutritious and sweet berries are excellent fresh or in baking.
How to Distinguish the Black Raspberry Bush From Other Fruiting Bushes
Some TN Nursery customers ask how to discern between the black raspberry bush and wild blackberries.
This bush is pretty easy to distinguish from the wild blackberry. Both stems are smooth and ridged, but the blackberry stem is almost entirely white, and the thorns are smaller.
Additionally, the black raspberry bush stays smaller than many other fruiting berries. It tops out at about four feet and will spread a few feet to the sides; thus, it has a more compact, shorter appearance.
Like the blackberry, the black raspberry bush will grow in thickets unless you prune it during its non-bearing season.
Care Needs of the Black Raspberry Bush
The black raspberry bush is a resilient, hardy plant that can grow in harsh conditions. It needs full sun to produce fruit and prefers to receive about an inch of water a week. However, it will readily bounce back from short drought spells.
The black raspberry bush likes moisture but does not enjoy staying wet. Find a spot with well-draining soil; fertilize it once in the spring, and let Mother Nature take it from there.

Try the black raspberry bush for a low-growing, easy-care fruiting bush that adds beautiful foliage and nutrition to your landscape plan. The fruit is worth the little care you put into it. Order your plants from TN Nursery today.


Blackberry Plant
$12.99
Blackberry Plant
Blackberry Plant: If you have a partially wooded yard with plentiful sunshine or mixed shade spots, a blackberry plant might make an excellent addition. When customers call TN Nursery for advice on easy-care fruit-bearing options, we often suggest the blackberry plant.
Unlike fruit trees, which can take several years to bear fruit, the blackberry plant might give you a few berries in the first season, ramping up production season after season until year three. Once mature, it will supply you with ten to twenty pounds of berries for the next twenty to twenty-five years.
The Rustic Charm of a Blackberry Plant
The blackberry plant grows in brambles or thickets, thriving in sunny clearings at the edges of woods or a forest. The North American native plant thrives in full sun or partial sun--a bright spot is a requirement for producing plump and luscious berries.
The first year you plant your blackberry plant, it will develop a few clusters of petite, pretty white flowers. Those flowers may produce a handful of berries during the first season.
The blooms will produce small white berries that plump up as they mature. The berries appear white at first, then reddening to an almost burgundy color and eventually a rich violet to black. Ripe blackberries are juicy, sweet, and plump.
As the plant matures, it grows wider and taller, topping at around six feet. They bring lazy summer days and fresh pies (or scrumptious cobblers) to mind. Can't you imagine the sweet juices drizzling down your chin as you bite into a lush berry?
How to Grow a Blackberry Plant
The blackberry plant requires a full-sun to partial-sun location for the berries to develop and ripen fully.
Blackberry plants need approximately one inch of water weekly, especially as the blossoms and berries develop. That's because the berry contains a high water content. You will not need to assist your plant if your region receives ample weekly rainfall. However, gardeners in arid locations must help the blackberry plant by supplying water.
Although it likes moisture, the blackberry plant does not like wet feet. Instead, it prefers soil that drains relatively quickly. You'll also need to fertilize it in the springtime as the blossoms develop--that food will nourish the plant and help it produce abundantly.

Red Chokeberry
$19.99
Red Chokeberry Aronia arbutifolia
Red Chokeberry: Aronia arbutifolio, the red chokeberry shrub, is a deciduous North American native species that will flourish in the moderately warm USDA growing zones. TN Nursery customers express interest in this shrub for the season-long colors, from the showy white spring flowers to the dark green foliage to the cheerful red berries in the fall.
The red chokeberry shrub is a North American native, low-maintenance species, requiring little more than twice-yearly fertilizer, about an inch of water a week, and occasional trimming to maintain an attractive shape. It prefers a balance of sun and shade.
Red Chokeberry Shrubs Serve as a Refuge for Birds
TN Nursery recommends the red chokeberry to our customers who are avid about bird watching.
Birds find Aronia arbutifolio irresistible. They love the dense canopy, which provides cover from predators--you may get to watch ground-dwelling birds like quails build their nests in the low branches. Later in the season, they will feast on the red fruit, a highly nutritious food source for your feathered friends.
The Beautifully-Shaped Appearance of the Red Chokeberry Shrub
Red chokeberry grows to an average mature height of ten feet and six feet across at its crown. The shrub grows in a vase shape--a narrowed bottom that forms multiple reddish brown twigs and branches and stretches wider at the top.
The lovely leaves are dark green and glossy on the upper side and less vibrant underneath, with an oblong shape. Each leaf measures up to three inches long and under two inches wide. They usually turn red or orange in the fall.
Flowers emerge along the branches in the mid to late spring. The blooms are small but abundant, making a beautiful display. The five-petal blossoms form in attractive clusters; each is about an inch across and forms a delicate cup shape. You will likely see bees and butterflies visit them for the sweet nectar.

Wild Blackberry
$13.99
Wild Blackberry Bush
Wild Blackberry Bush: TN Nursery presents the wild blackberry bush, a North American native species particularly abundant in the United States. The wild blackberry bush is an easy-to-grow, low-maintenance plant that is multi-functional.
Not only does it bear sinfully sweet and juicy berries, but it also makes a lovely ornamental. The five-petaled white flowers grow in beautiful clusters sometime between late spring and early summer and then bear those famously delicious berries in the later part of the summertime.
Some gardeners choose the wild blackberry bush to take advantage of its spread, not for the fruit. Each plant can grow as much as five feet across and tall. They grow in brambles or thickets and can liven up an area of the yard that may otherwise go underutilized.
How to Grow the Wild Blackberry B
When you plant your wild blackberry bush, remember the five-foot spread. Allow them some elbow room for future growth. Although the bare root you receive from TN Nursery might look small now, it will mature in just a few growing seasons.
The wild blackberry shrub is intriguing because its root is perennial, but its foliage is biennial. That means the canes grow, bear fruit, then die back; however, fresh canes will emerge to replace the dead ones. Annual pruning, either at the end of the season or early spring before flowers develop, will keep a wild blackberry bush in good health.
They prefer soil that drains well, and you should plan to fertilize them once yearly during late spring.
Because the wild blackberry bush is a native species, it is drought-tolerant. It prefers about an inch of water per week, mainly as it produces blossoms and berries. However, it is resilient and can tolerate short dry spells.

It's a primitive and ancient plant that has been around for over 100 million years. It's often found in wetlands, marshes, and other damp areas, but horsetail can tolerate just about any soil. It was once known to the Romans and Greeks as a herbal remedy that could heal ulcers and wounds and stop bleeding.
Horsetail Plant Is a Wetland Favorite
The horsetail plant is relatively easy to identify, with hollow, jointed stems and needle-like leaves. It can be found worldwide, except in Australia and New Zealand. The plant grows a deep root system; its stems can grow up to two feet tall. The plant primarily reproduces through spores or underground rhizomes.
Horsetail has been used throughout the ages as a medicinal plant in traditional herbal medicine
It contains high levels of silica, believed to be beneficial for bone health, and other minerals such as potassium and manganese. Along with treating wounds, horsetail has also been used to treat kidney and bladder problems.
Organic gardeners and farmers also love horsetail for its soil-replenishing properties and as a natural pest repellent. When planted in fields and gardening plots, horsetail increases the soil's water-holding capacity and potassium content. Planting along the edges of fields helps reduce the likelihood of soil erosion.
Horsetail can also be used as a pest repellent or fertilizer by making tea from the stem or leaves. This is usually accomplished by steeping in a pot of water for several days. The resulting liquid can be put into a spray bottle, applied to vegetable plants, or poured directly into the soil, depending on the gardener's needs.
