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.

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. Order Your Paw Paw Tree From TN Nursery

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. Order Your Persimmon Tree From TN Nursery Today
Witch Hazel
$23.99
Witch Hazel Witch Hazel is a shrub or small tree native to the North American, European, and Asian continents. It can grow as tall as twenty-five feet high, but many gardeners prune them into a lower, shrub-like appearance. Others adore this shrub because it flowers late in the fall--when an unexpected pop of vibrant yellow color turns heads. It's a relatively fast grower, with a rapid growth rate of two to three feet per growing season. When gardeners reach out to TN Nursery seeking advice on a low but dense shrub to define their property line, we often recommend witch hazel. How to Use Witch Hazel in Your Garden Witch hazel is a cold-hardy, drought-hardy, deer-resistant shrub. It grows well across most of the contiguous United States, regardless of soil type. When you plant it, find a partially sunny location and amend the soil with peat moss or mulch to give it the organic matter it needs. After you establish the plant, it requires little care other than occasional fertilizing. Some gardeners let witch hazel grow to its full height, especially when they want privacy or to block an unsightly view. However, others will groom it into a long, low hedge around a home's foundation or in a formal garden setting. Witch Hazel Is a Highly Attractive Shrub or Tree Witch hazel has light brown, smooth bark that forms an intriguing zig-zag pattern. Leaves unfurl and bring a refreshing dose of green in the early springtime. Each leaf is small, approximately four inches long, oval-shaped, and has slight toothiness along the edges. The greenery is lovely to behold all spring and summer. But the crowning glory occurs at the end of the season. In late fall, profuse amounts of four- to five-petalled, cheerful yellow flowers appear. Each petal is ribbon-like with an interesting crinkled texture.

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.

Many people mistake the red crepe myrtle for a tree. However, it is a deciduous shrub, despite its twenty to thirty-foot mature height. America loves the red crepe myrtle! Although it's not a North American native species, it thrives in the warmer USDA growing zones, especially in the southeastern states. The red crepe myrtle is cold-hardy and heat-hardy, which may explain its prevalence in the upper south, with freezing temperatures in the winter and blistering summers. It's also resistant to pest damage, disease, and mildew. The Red Crepe Myrtle Is a Real Showstopper The eye-popping shade of vibrant red appears across the south during the peak summertime heat. That's when enormous clusters of dainty red florets open up, creating the illusion of a single, vast flower. When left alone, the red crepe myrtle has multiple upright branches that grow into an elegant, shrub-like shape. However, some gardeners will prune it during its first few seasons to encourage it to grow straight and tall to appear like a tree. The medium-hue green leaves are smallish, around two inches long, glossy, and oval. They are bountiful and create a lush, green canopy to provide a break from the summer sun. The bark is light in color with a slightly rough texture. It is not entirely smooth, nor is it rough. The bark renews yearly, sloughing away in the late summer and exposing a fresh layer. Those stunning red crepe myrtle flowers become a blessing for birds: one-inch or smaller brown pods open to release many seeds. Red Crepe Myrtle Is Attractive to Insects and Feathered Friends Pollinators find the vivid red blossoms highly attractive. You will likely witness pollinator insects--bees, moths, dragonflies, and butterflies--enjoying the nectar of your red crepe myrtle. After the worms and insects retire for the winter, birds will seek out your red crepe myrtle, cracking open those pods to enjoy much-needed sustenance.
