Trees and Shrubs
  • This list includes all woody plants which are not Camellias.
  • Scientific name (Genus and species) is followed by the 'cultivar' or variety and the common name follows a comma. 
  • The hardiness zone is indicated, or our best guess if unknown. 
  • The description usually includes habits and high points, and sometimes some background on the plant. 
  • Often people ask about the ultimate height and width of a plant but the size is very dependent on the growing conditions of each individual plant. For example an oak tree grown in an open field is very different than one grown in the middle of a forest. We will try to indicate the normal height and width of a mature specimen with the description [8'T X 4'W]. 
  • We will also make some cultural recommendations based on our experiences.  
  • The prices indicate the age and size of the plants, so most plants over $16 are two or more years old and well established. Very rare plants may cost more.

Abies firma, Japanese Fir
Abies firma, Japanese Fir
Our Price: $16.00

This is a very heat tolerant fir that I have seen growing in southern Alabama quite happily. The foliage is a wonderful dark green and the tree is quite fast-growing. This can be used as understock for other fir species which allows some other species to be grown successfully in the South. Currently, I have a few of these grafts available. Mature size: 100'T x 30'W (Zone 5) [2 quart pot]
Abies koreana 'Hortsmann's Silberlocke'
Our Price: $30.00

This outstanding fir makes a wonderful specimen and will be a conversation piece in any garden. These are grafted on Abies firma rootstock to ensure heat tolerance and good performance in our climate. These grow 3-4 inches per year in NC, but will grow significantly faster in cooler climates. The distinctive characteristic of this cultivar is the curled needles that bend backwards toward the stem and reveal their silvery underside. [3 quart pot]
