• Christmas Fern — Christmas Fern - Polystichum Acrostichoides Christmas Fern is one of those native woodland plants that quietly does its job year after year without demanding much attention. Its deep green fronds stay attractive even through winter, which is rare in shaded gardens where most plants disappear once cold weather arrives. Native to forests throughout the eastern United States, this fern feels right at home beneath mature trees, along wooded paths, or tucked into shaded landscape borders. Unlike some ferns that can look delicate or fussy, the Polystichum acrostichoides is sturdy and adaptable. It forms soft clumps that usually grow to about 1 to 2 feet tall and slowly fill in over time without becoming invasive. Many gardeners use it on hillsides or shady banks because the roots help hold soil in place while the evergreen foliage keeps the area from looking bare during winter. This fern prefers rich, well-drained soil with moderate moisture, though established plants can tolerate short dry periods better than many people expect. It grows best in part shade to full shade and handles rocky woodland conditions with ease. Another reason gardeners appreciate it is that deer tend to leave it alone, making it dependable in rural landscapes. In spring, bright green fiddleheads emerge upright before opening into arching fronds with a natural woodland appearance. It pairs beautifully with trilliums, mosses, hostas, woodland phlox, and other shade-loving native plants. At TN Nursery, Christmas Fern plants are shipped dormant during the proper planting season. Bare-root ferns can appear simple at first glance, but once planted in suitable conditions, they establish quickly and return larger each season. Why Gardeners Like Christmas Fern Evergreen fern with year-round color Native to eastern woodlands Helpful for erosion control on slopes Deer-resistant and low maintenance Excellent for shaded gardens and under trees Slow-spreading, non-invasive growth habit Most Asked Questions Is Christmas Fern evergreen? Yes. The fronds stay green through winter, which is where the plant gets its common name. In some cooler areas, like zones 3-4 in the deep North, they may lose some of their foliage in the winter season but will regrow back in Spring and stay green 10 months out of the year even in those severe cold states. Does Christmas Fern spread quickly? They are moderate spreaders but are not aggressive or invasive at all. Will Christmas Fern grow in deep shade? Yes, it performs very well in full shade and woodland settings where many other plants struggle.
• Eastern Redbud Tree — Eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis) is a small native flowering tree of eastern and central North America, and one of the first trees to bloom each spring. Pink to lavender flowers cover the bare branches in early spring, heart-shaped leaves follow, and the foliage turns yellow in fall. Hardiness zones: 4–9 Mature size: 20–30 ft tall, 25–35 ft wide Light: full sun to part shade, with 4 to 6 hours of direct sun for the best bloom and some afternoon shade in hot climates Soil: well-drained, acidic to alkaline Shipped as: bare-root, 1–2 ft, 2–3 ft or 3–4 ft tall Packs: buy 1 get 1 free, 5 trees or 25 trees Shipping: dug fresh and shipped bare root from November 15 to April 15 Why Grow Eastern Redbud? It brings color when little else is in flower, and its blooms feed bees and other early pollinators. The flowers open along the branches and even on the trunk. Birds perch and nest in its branches. As a native tree it suits wildlife-friendly, low-maintenance plantings, and once established it handles dry spells well. What Soil Does Eastern Redbud Need? Eastern redbud grows in clay, loam or sandy soil as long as water drains away after rain, and it even thrives on limestone ground. It thrives in well-drained spots. On heavy clay, set the tree on a slight mound for the best start. How Does Eastern Redbud Grow and Where Should You Plant It? Young trees grow upright, then spread into a rounded crown, often with several trunks, that can be wider than it is tall. Give it room: plant it at least 15 feet from the house and about 20 feet from other trees. It works as a lawn specimen, along a woodland edge or at a property line where its spring color shows from a distance. Its well-mannered roots make it a lovely choice near a patio or walk. It forms a deep, sturdy root system, so plant it young in the spot where you want it to shine for years. How to Plant a Bare-Root Eastern Redbud Plant while the tree is dormant, from November to April, whenever the ground is workable. Soak the roots in water for one to two hours. Keep them damp and out of the sun until they go in the ground. Dig a hole wider than the spread-out roots and just deep enough that the root collar, where the roots meet the stem, sits at ground level. Spread the roots out, backfill with the soil you removed, and firm it gently to remove air pockets. Water slowly and deeply to settle the soil around the roots. How to Care for Eastern Redbud Water once a week through the first growing season whenever rain falls short, then during long dry spells. Spread 2 to 3 inches of mulch in a wide ring, kept a few inches from the trunk. It thrives without regular fertilizer. Prune right after flowering, removing crossing branches and narrow forks, keeping the cuts light. Why Buy Eastern Redbud From TN Nursery? Eastern redbud is one of the trees we grow in the largest numbers, more than 200,000 at our Tennessee nursery. In more than 90 customer reviews, the comments we hear most are that the trees arrive healthy, with strong roots, and carefully packed.

TN Nursery has supplied trees to Arlington National Cemetery and the Discovery Channel, and every eastern redbud we ship gets that same care.

• Pawpaw Tree — The Pawpaw Tree, known as Asimina triloba, is North America's largest native fruit tree, producing delicious, tropical-tasting fruit and supporting wildlife, pollinators, and healthy ecosystems. This rare fruit is almost never sold in stores, so the best way to enjoy it is to grow your own. Let TN Nursery help you on your exotic and rare-plant journey into a world of new heights, with a pawpaw tree of your own to grow the delicious fruit that President Thomas Jefferson planted at his Monticello Estate and ate daily. Plant young trees in the shade, and when they grow larger, they can withstand full sunlight. They thrive in rich mulch and do well in moist soil. Hardy in zones 5-8, making it a versatile tree for many locations. Butterflies, especially the Zebra Swallowtail, flock to the tree in the spring and Summer seasons. Hardiness zones: USDA 5-8 Mature size: 15-30 feet tall Light: partial shade when young, full sun to partial shade once established Soil: moist, rich, well-drained, slightly acidic Heights shipped: 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 or 4-5 feet Packs: Buy 1 Get 1 Free (two trees), 25 trees or 100 trees Shipped as: bare-root, from our Tennessee nursery to gardens nationwide Why Grow Pawpaw Trees? Pawpaw gives you a true specialty fruit, a rare treat best enjoyed fresh from your own backyard. The tree is also the host plant of the Zebra Swallowtail butterfly, whose caterpillars feed on its leaves. Maroon flowers open in spring before the leaves appear, and the foliage turns butter yellow in fall. As a native understory tree, it asks little of you once it settles in. What Soil Do Pawpaw Trees Need? Pawpaw grows best in deep, fertile ground that stays evenly moist and drains well, like the creek bottoms and woodland edges where it grows wild. Loam is ideal. Working compost into the planting area gives it the rich, moisture-holding soil it loves. How Does Pawpaw Grow and Where to Plant It? Pawpaw spends its first year or two building a deep taproot, then grows with vigor. In the wild it forms lush little groves, so give it room to become a natural pawpaw patch. Choose a spot with morning sun and afternoon shade, or light shade under taller trees. Established trees in more sun bear more fruit. Seed-grown pawpaws usually begin fruiting 4 to 8 years after planting, and the fruit ripens in late summer and early fall. How to Plant Bare-Root Pawpaw Trees Plant while the tree is dormant, from November to April, as soon as you can after it arrives. Keep the roots damp until they go in the ground, and soak them in water for an hour before planting. Dig a hole deep and wide enough to hold the roots without bending the taproot. Set the tree at the depth it grew in the nursery, backfill with the soil you removed, and water well to settle it. How Do You Care for Pawpaw Trees? Water once a week through the first growing season whenever rain falls short. Keep 2 to 3 inches of mulch over the root zone, pulled back from the trunk. In a sunny spot, shade young trees for their first year or two with shade cloth or a board on a stake. Pawpaws need little pruning beyond removing dead or crossing branches. Why Buy Pawpaw Trees From TN Nursery? Pawpaw is our #1 selling tree and the one we know best.

• Witch Hazel — American witch hazel (Hamamelis virginiana) is a native deciduous shrub or small tree that blooms in fall, from October to December, when most of the garden has finished. Fragrant, ribbon-like yellow flowers open along the branches as the golden fall leaves drop, and they often last several weeks through frost. Hardiness zones: USDA 3-8 Mature size: 15-20 ft tall and about as wide Light: Full sun to partial shade Soil: Moist, well-drained Sizes: 1-2 ft or 2-3 ft, shipped bare-root Packs: Buy one, get one free, or packs of 25, 50, 100, 500 and 1,000 Shipping: By UPS, for planting from November to April Why Grow American Witch Hazel? It gives you flowers and scent when little else is in bloom. The late flowers feed bees and other pollinators still active in fall, and birds and wild turkeys eat the seeds, which the ripe capsules can throw up to 30 feet. Deer usually leave established plants alone. It fits woodland gardens, native plantings, informal hedges, streambanks and naturalized property borders. What Soil Does Witch Hazel Need? Witch hazel does best in soil rich in organic matter, like a woodland floor. It adapts to clay too, as long as the soil drains well and stays evenly moist. How Does Witch Hazel Grow and Where Should You Plant It? It grows at a medium rate into a multi-stemmed shrub with a spreading, open crown. Pruned to one main stem, it grows as a small tree. Over time it gently fills out into a fuller, natural clump. Plant it at a woodland edge, as an understory plant beneath taller trees, beside a stream or rain garden, or near a path or window where you can enjoy the fall flowers up close. It flowers most heavily with some sun, and in the warmest part of its range it appreciates afternoon shade. Leave room for its full spread, and space plants about 10 ft apart for an informal screen. How Do You Plant Bare-Root Witch Hazel? Soak the roots in water for about an hour. Plant any day the ground is workable. Dig a hole wider than the spread roots and just deep enough to set the plant at the depth it grew before. Spread the roots, backfill with the soil you removed and firm it gently. Water deeply, then add 2-3 inches of mulch, keeping it off the stems. How Do You Care for Witch Hazel? Water weekly through the first growing season during dry weeks, then during long dry spells. It thrives without regular fertilizer, and a light feeding in early spring gives it an extra boost. Prune after flowering, in late winter or early spring, because next fall's flower buds form over the summer. For a single-trunk tree form, trim the extra shoots at the base. Why Buy Witch Hazel From TN Nursery? We grow more than 200,000 witch hazel at our Tennessee nursery, and every plant we ship is freshly dug, carefully packed and guaranteed to arrive in excellent condition. In more than 60 customer reviews, the comments we hear most are that the plants arrive healthy and well packed and settle in to grow well.

Family-owned since 1959, TN Nursery has shipped plants to customers as large as NASA and the US Air Force, and each witch hazel is packed with the same care.
