wild seedling Pecan

(Carya illinoisensis) -Full Sun to Part Shade–  plant two for pollination, height 30-50’ by 25-35’ wide

Pecans can be successfully grown in the North.  Smaller nuts than the Georgia papershell pecans, but still an amazing amount of nutmeat in very easy to crack shells.  Need 2 for pollination.   Height 30-50’ by 25-35’ wide.  Should have no hardiness problems into zone 5.  North of that, plant at your own risk!

LSU Groundnut

(Apios americana) -Full to Part Sun–  Large edible tubers, nitrogen fixing, attractive, frangrant flowers.

An improved variety of a native plant developed at LSU. There are reports of the tubers reaching the size of basketballs, but they will likely be smaller in our climate. Wait at least 2 years before first harvest. Tubers and seeds are both edible, and have high protein content for a tuber (17%). Prefer rich, well drained soil. Flowers are fragrant, very pretty, orchid like, smallish, and born in clusters.

Improved Maypop Passion Fruit

(passiflora incarnata) -Full Sun to part shade–  2×3″ flavorful seedy fruits, native, invasive vine. Self-fertile

Similar to the well-known tropical passion fruit–a perennial, very ornamental vine with showy, fringed, purple/white flowers all summer long.  Bumblebees and hummingbirds love them!  2×3″ oblong fruits turn yellow and often drop when ripe, and each contain a large amount of sweet-tart, apricot-flavored, seedy pulp.  Maypop is a native plant, but beware that it is very vigorous and invasive once established.  Plant it somewhere you can mow around it to keep it contained, as it will send out long runners underground.  A great choice for taking over a fence in the back corner of your yard or covering a hard-to-mow slope.  Maypop dies down to the ground in the winter and is late to emerge in the spring, so it is not the best choice for covering shade structures unless you only need late summer and fall shade.

Carlos Muscadine

Vitis rotundifolia -Full Sun to Part Shade–  1/2″ bronze fruit with seeds. Very vigorous, super disease resistant. Self fertile. Good pollinator.

Quart pots $9, Gallon* pots $18

North American native plant,   

Muscadine grapes are native to the Southeast US. They love hot humid weather and don’t suffer from the diseases that plague european grapes. They are care free, super vigorous, have huge fruit, and are great for landscaping since the leaves stay glossy and attractive all summer long. So the downside… they tend to have thicker skins and seeds. The non-self-fertile female varieties have the best flavor (the others are good too), but need a self-fertile variety for pollination. Fruit is either black (dark purple) or bronze, and some sources say that you need a bronze self-fertile to pollinate a black female variety, and you need a black self-fertile to pollinate a bronze female variety. We are just on the northern edge of their range. We offer varieties that are bred for more cold hardiness and that have survived above the ground for us. These are large vigorous vines, so plant 15’ to 20’ apart

Geneva Long’ American Persimmon

(Diospyros virginiana) -Full Sun to Part Sun–  Full size on Seedling Rootstock, 35-60′ tall

Sources disagree whether this is a pure American Persimmon or possibly an American/Asian cross, but its form is completely American.  It bears large, less-astringent fruit that has a unique elongated shape – about the size and shape of an egg.  Good texture, more firm when ripe than wild persimmons. 35-60′ tall. Zones 3-9

Prok’ American Persimmon

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

Big Fattie’ Thornless seedling Honey Locust

(Gleditsia triacanthos) -Full Sun to part shade–  Small % may develop thorns. Fast growing, tall, spreading trees make nice shade trees. Selected for fatter seedpods which make good livestock feed.

Seedlings from thornless parent trees with fatter pods.  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.
