Sun - part shade Zones 3-9 Family: Moraceae
Also known as horse apple & bow wood tree & bodark, this thorny specimen can get very large with fruits the size of softballs. Don't plant it where the fruit could fall on a car or your house. A source of orange dye, this wood is very tough & durable. I was told that giant sloths ate the fruit. This winter I have learned that Goldfinch, Northern bobwhites & both red & gray squirrels eat the seeds of Osage orange. These trees come in male or female, when small plants are available, I can't tell which is which. In these large trees we generally can tell one from the other.

Zone 4-9
Magnolia acuminata is the largest & hardiest magnolia native to North America & its native range is from Ontario south through the mountains of the east & as far south & west as the Gulf coastal plain & eastern Oklahoma. The subspecies Subcordata is somewhat smaller.   Flowers on this magnolia are about 3" wide & when the fruit ripens, towhees & other ground feeding birds & small mammals feed on them. Needs evenly moist soil., guess I read that somewhere but in my field, where the walking trail passes it, I've noticed that it has stood the drought of 2012 pretty well - better than many trees. Some shade is tolerated.

Morus rubra is native to the eastern half of the United States. From the information I have researched, it is generally dioecious - meaning that male & female flowers are on separate plants. On occasion, apparently they may be on the same plant. However, if you wish to be assured of fruit, several need to be planted as these are seed grown plants & are too young to be sexed. Red mulberry is loved by the birds - and hated by some folks - the fruits can cause stains on clothing, cars etc. Mourning cloak butterfly uses the foliage for a larval food plant.

If there were a list of excellent vines, Virginia creeper would be close to the top. The only drawback is that some people mistake it for poison ivy. An old saying 'leaves of three, let it be' is one to remember when looking at Virginia creeper - poison ivy has leaves with 3 leaflets always. Virginia creeper's leaves are compounds of 5 (sometimes 3 on new leaves). Anyway, so much for botany! Brilliant red foliage in fall follow deep blue berries that are at the top of the list of bird foods. Fast growing, 6 to 12' in a season.

One of my favorite trees especially in winter with its exfoliating bark that reveals a creamy white trunk. Some people complain that they are messy with their fruit that splits open when ripe & blows thru the neighborhood like silken parachutes. My thought is why deny yourself the glory of this magnificent tree for a few weeks of flying silk - even though personally, I look on this as just another miracle. In our hot, humid south, we don't have the kind of birch that I read about with the very white peeling trunks....but we do have sycamores. To me they are so majestic having huge leaves. When winter makes them bare, the starkly white bark is spectacular as if a giant hand peeled the bark back. Very long lived tree - some recorded as much as 350 years old. The growth rate is fast, often to 70' in 20 years time. Sycamores are native to most of the Midwest & eastern part of the United States. Standing very near the gate leading to our nursery is a huge sycamore tree which lent its name to our road.

 Part shade - sun    Zones 5 to 8 at least.
The first time many people see fragrant sumac, they think it is poison ivy. It really doesn't look like poison ivy to me but I guess there is a definite resemblance. The leaves of fragrant sumac are quite small, however, intensely green & glossy. Yellow flowers in spring are followed by red fruits. 'Lacette'  has been selected because of the finely cut leaves, compact habit & brilliant fall color.    3 to 4.5' tall by 6-7' wide.  Most soils except poorly drained clay.

Rhus aromatica    Fragrant sumac
Arkansas Native

Shade - dappled shade sun Zones 3b to 9. Family: Anacardiaceae
An attractive native shrub that can range in height from 2-6' or so. Glossy green leaves that often color beautifully in the fall. The bright yellowish flowers in late winter are welcome & the female plants produce red fruits in late summer. BIRDS

Rhus aromatica serotina Fragrant sumac
$sold out
Arkansas Native
Sun/part shade Z: 3-9 Family: Anacardiaceae
Small to medium sized shrub with glossy green leaves that have an astringent fragrance. Interesting cone-like structures of buds in the winter with yellow flowers in early spring. Not as aggressive as most of our sumacs. 5-7 feet tall with a spread of about 4 feet. Fall color is variable with a glossy red being the best & yellow some years. Serotina means later - in other words, this plant flowers about 2 weeks later than the species.

Rhus glabra   Smooth sumac.
Arkansas Native
$
Another native sumac prized for its fall color and is native to much of North America. Sumacs can be invasive so if necessary, contain them by mowing or barrier. They make interesting container plants. Excellent for soil stabilization & food for many bird species.

Rhus glabra v. laciniata   Laceleaf smooth sumac

Selection of Arkansas Native
This sumac is perhaps the most outstanding of the cutleaf sumacs. The rachis (the part of the leaf that the leaflets are attached to) is red almost all year & the leaflets turn a very bright red in the fall. Here at the nursery, we've grown this selection for years & it seems to be lower growing (3-4') & slower in spreading that the others I have know. This laceleaf sumac is a female selection & so if there are males in the neighborhood, you should also be blessed with tasty deep red fruits
