Uncommon Yard Trees2 plants for “amelanchier”

Native shade and flowering trees that deserve far more use than they get.

103 native shade and flowering trees for yards, from small trees such as flowering dogwood, eastern redbud, serviceberry and white fringetree to canopy trees such as black gum, American basswood, bald cypress and Kentucky coffeetree. Mature heights run from about 10 to 120 feet and hardiness from USDA zone 2 to zone 10 depending on the species. All are sold as saplings, and ninety-nine of them as seed to sow. Most saplings ship while dormant, in spring and fall. A few ship in spring only, among them black gum and most of the magnolias, and sand pine ships in fall only. Each plant's page gives its own season. Which of them belongs near a house is its own question: see six trees not to plant near a house, and what to plant instead.
