(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.

(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.

(Corylus avellana) -Full Sun to Shade– edible ornamental, 12-15′ tall, plant 3-5 for pollination
This is the European hazel that you recognize from store-bought hazelnuts. Shrubby growth gets 8-12’ tall with 6-8′ spread. Fall foliage is stunning with colors all over the spectrum. Showy male catkins in the winter and spring. Parent is resistant Eastern Filbert Blight so seedlings should have good resistance but not guaranteed. Plant two, ideally three or more for pollination. Can take half-day to full sun. Space 4-8’ apart.

(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’

(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’

(Ginkgo biloba) -Full Sun– Full size on Seedling Rootstock, Up to 30′ tall, needs male to pollinate
Improved nut producing variety. Slow growing up to 30′ tall. Zones 5-8.

,
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.
