# Rare Trees & Shrubs

> Native trees and shrubs that are uncommon in the wild or in nurseries, grown from seed.

We grow 144 trees and shrubs that are uncommon in the wild or in nurseries. Of these, eighty-two are shrubs, among them [Cumberland rosemary](https://bluewhaletrees.com/plants/cumberland-rosemary/index.html.md), [box huckleberry](https://bluewhaletrees.com/plants/box-huckleberry/index.html.md) and [dwarf chinquapin oak](https://bluewhaletrees.com/plants/dwarf-chinquapin-oak/index.html.md). The trees run from [Florida torreya](https://bluewhaletrees.com/plants/florida-torreya/index.html.md) and [Fraser fir](https://bluewhaletrees.com/plants/fraser-fir/index.html.md) to [Kentucky coffeetree](https://bluewhaletrees.com/plants/kentucky-coffeetree/index.html.md) and [blue ash](https://bluewhaletrees.com/plants/blue-ash/index.html.md). [Why native trees become rare](https://bluewhaletrees.com/articles/why-native-trees-become-rare/index.html.md) explains what makes a species scarce, with ten rare eastern species worth growing.

144 of 364 plants. Web version: https://bluewhaletrees.com/shop/rare/. Each plant links to its own Markdown page with the full facts, description and growing guide.

Columns: Zones are the USDA hardiness zones the plant takes, from the coldest to the warmest it is rated for (zone 2 is the coldest, 10 the warmest); Height is mature height in feet; Sun and Soil list every condition the plant takes; Grown from is what the nursery offers it as (saplings, or acorns, nuts or seed to sow); Price is the lowest current price, or "ask" when the plant is not yet priced online (email captain@bluewhaletrees.com or join the waitlist on the web page).

This table accepts the shop's filters as query parameters on this address: size (shrub, small-tree, medium-tree, large-tree), sun (full, part, shade), moisture (dry, average, wet), zone (2 to 10), native (a state's two-letter code in capitals, such as PA: the plants native to that state by the USDA PLANTS records), want (a trait: flowers, fall-color, wildlife, honey, edible, evergreen, rare, drought, wet-tolerant, shade, early-bearing, screening, nitrogen-fixing, salt, winter-interest, street-tree, erosion-control; rare means uncommon in the wild or in nurseries, honey a nectar source for bees), as (acorns, seed, nuts, saplings) and q (a search word). Several values may be joined with commas.
