Commonly known as a lovely landscape tree. Grafted males are what you typically see planted for ornamental purposes, but the females actually have a tasty and nutritious nut. The reason landscapers only plant the males is that the female’s seed has an outer covering (the “fruit”) that smells terrible and is a skin irritant. But when cleaned and roasted the seeds are easy to crack and taste great. You need a male to pollinate the female trees if you want nuts.

(Juglans regia) -Full to Part Sun– Upright shape, Height 40-60′ Russian seed source
Russian seed source that should have better productivity over the more common Polish seed source. These are seedlings that have good cold hardiness. While not quite as large as grafted varieties, they come pretty close and are easy to grow. More upright growth than heartnut with beautiful smooth white bark! Can sometimes have pest issues on the nuts but often have plenty of unharmed nuts to supply your winter pantry. Full to part sun; Zone 4-8. Height 30-40’

(Castanea mollisima) -Full to Part Sun– Spreading growth, height 30-50′, plant two for pollination
Seedlings from improved varieties. These beautiful spreading trees produce loads of large nuts at a younger age than most nut trees. Leaves glossy green. Beware the husks which are incredibly spiny (like a sea urchin), use gloves to get out any nuts that don’t drop free. But slice a cross in the hull, roast over a fire, peel and dip in melted butter—you’ll have a treat that will warm you up quick on cool fall/winter evenings! Unique for their starchiness amongst nuts—a tree-based carbohydrate source. Immune to chestnut blight. Prefers acidic soils—never put lime around a chestnut tree! Plant two for pollination. Full to part sun; Zone 4-8. Height 30-50’

(Gleditsia triacanthos) -Full Sun to part shade– Small % may develop thorns. Fast growing, tall, spreading trees make nice shade trees. Seedpods good livestock feed.
Seedlings from a grove of thornless parent trees. There is a small chance that some may develop thorns as they get older. Fast growing, tall and spreading trees create dappled rather than deep shade. Can take a variety of soil types, known for being able to grow in polluted, compacted urban soils. Pods are an excellent livestock feed (nutritionally equivalent to barley grain by sheep and goats) and the pulp is a sugary “nibble” for people too. Lumber has some rot resistance and is a beautiful honey-red/orange color. We might have some thorny individuals available if you prefer a tree that protects itself from varmints.

(Diospyros virginiana) -Full Sun to Part Sun– Full size on Seedling Rootstock, 35-60′ tall
One of the largest American persimmons with 2 1/2 to 3″ fruits, and rated best tasting by many fruit enthusiasts. Early ripening. If it is planted without a pollinator the fruits are nearly seedless, but in this area of the country, unless you live in the city you likely have male persimmons close enough to pollinate. 35-60′ tall. Zones 5-9

(Asimina triloba) -Full Sun to Full Shade– space 8′-15′ apart, needs pollinator
We sporadically carry too many different varieties of papaw for me to keep up with them all. They also sell out quickly. Right now, for example, we have about 10 gallon size grafted trees, but I don’t have an exact inventory count of which varieties. Newly grafted trees of all varieties listed plus some others will be available in late May.

(Prunus Americana) -Full Sun– Full size on own roots (not grafted), plant two for pollination. disease resistant
These seedling trees are extremely disease-resistant and set bumper crops of golf-ball sized fruit every two years. In between years get a smaller crop. The fruit is red-skinned and yellow fleshed and glows when the sunlight hits it! It is delicious eaten straight off the tree with a slight astringency that comes through delightfully in wine made from these fruits. The roots will sucker so if you do not mow around them, they will eventually form a clonal “grove” of plums for you!
