Perhaps the single most useful tree for our area, the mulberry has copious amounts of delicious and nutritious (high protein, carbs, vitamins/minerals) fruit; is very fast-growing for quick shade and mulch production; leaves and stems are relished by most grazing livestock; and the wood is rot-resistant for fenceposts, etc. They are used in the silk industry to feed silkworms. Even on seedlings, fruits are borne over the course of weeks rather than ripening all at once like most tree fruits. Mulberries are delicious – they taste similar to raspberries, but with no noticeable seeds and no thorns. The only disadvantages are the staining quality of the dark fruits; need a ladder to harvest prime berries (except for ‘Gerardi’ dwarf!); and without pruning the trees can get messy-looking, holding onto dead branches and twigs. Mulberries can take some shade without suffering from lower production of berries. Height to 35’. Zones 5-9. Grafted trees on seedling rootstock.

Corylus spp. hybrids -Full Sun to part Shade– edible ornamental, 8-12′ tall, plant 5 for pollination, 5-10′ apart, blight resistant, medium-large nut size
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.

(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.

-Full Sun to Part Shade– Full size on seedling rootstock, space 15′-25′ apart, self fertile
This tree claims its parentage from Southern Indiana wild-growing mulberries. The earliest fruiting of the trees we have producing right now. Great producer of sweet but flavorful dark lavender fruit. Juice is less-staining than black fruited mulberries, but not completely clear. Has a more berry-like flavor than your typical non-staining white or lavender fruit (which tend to be very sweet but bland) – almost as flavorful as black mulberry fruits. Short but fat berries. Non-grafted, it roots very easily from cuttings. Self fertile.

(Juglans ailantifolia) -Full to Part Sun– Attractive spreading growth, height 30′, vigorous fast grower, self fertile
After trying my first heartnuts straight from the tree at a local Amish farm, I was impressed! I lightly brushed off the husk, tapped the shell with my pocketknife on a fencepost and “ding!” the shell came apart in halves and the whole heart-shaped nut fell out intact. Add to this the flavor that was like a sweeter cross between English/black walnuts and you get one incredible nut! Anyone who has dealt with the difficulty of black walnut processing will love this change of pace. Heartnuts are smaller trees, spreading more to make an attractive yard tree with white bark like English walnuts. I’ve seen a few plants at various spots and they are all growing incredibly fast, putting on 4’ a year. Somewhat self-fertile. Seedlings are variable in nut size and may not be a true heart-shape. Full to part sun; Zone 5-8. Height 30’
