Blue Whale Trees, a native tree nursery in the United States. Web version: https://bluewhaletrees.com/shop/shrubs/?sun=full&zone=8

190 native shrubs and ten small trees for hedgerows, the understory and wet corners: [spicebush](https://bluewhaletrees.com/plants/spicebush/index.html.md), [winterberry](https://bluewhaletrees.com/plants/winterberry/index.html.md), [black elderberry](https://bluewhaletrees.com/plants/black-elderberry/index.html.md), [ninebark](https://bluewhaletrees.com/plants/ninebark/index.html.md), twelve viburnums, northern bayberry, mountain laurel, pinxterbloom azalea and more. They run from knee-high leadplant to small trees of 20 feet and over, hardy from USDA zone 2 to zone 10 depending on the species. Most [feed birds](https://bluewhaletrees.com/articles/native-trees-for-birds/index.html.md) or pollinators, many take wet ground, and several are rarely sold anywhere. All are offered as saplings and 194 of them as seed.

141 of 428 plants matching full sun, zone 8. 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 price for sale, a plant size's first and a packet's apart, or Sold out for a priced plant with nothing for sale, or "ask" when the plant is not yet priced online (email captain@bluewhaletrees.com or join the waitlist on the web page).
