# Pennsylvania: the native trees and shrubs we grow > 159 trees and shrubs native to Pennsylvania by USDA PLANTS records, from 30 large trees to 76 shrubs, all grown from seed, with zones and size on every card. Blue Whale Trees, a native tree nursery in the United States. Web version: https://bluewhaletrees.com/tools/native/?state=PA Pick a state and see which of the 364 trees and shrubs we grow are recorded growing wild there, by the USDA PLANTS Database. Some of our trees have spread well beyond their native range. Those count as native only in the states their original range reaches, and elsewhere they are listed apart with their page's own sentence. A state record is a start, not a verdict on your ground. The [planting-site check](https://bluewhaletrees.com/tools/site-check/index.html.md) asks about the location itself. ## 159 of our 364 trees and shrubs are native to Pennsylvania Recorded there by the USDA PLANTS Database, and native there by the rules below. Native here does not mean hardy where you are. Each card gives its zones, and the [ZIP code tool](https://bluewhaletrees.com/tools/zone/index.html.md) finds yours. ## 30 large trees - [Black Gum (Tupelo)](https://bluewhaletrees.com/plants/black-gum/index.html.md) (*Nyssa sylvatica*): Large tree, Zones 4–9, 40–70 ft, Price on request -

Each has spread here from planting or rests on an old or mistaken record. The sentence under each gives its native range or the reason. **[Yellowwood](https://bluewhaletrees.com/plants/yellowwood/index.html.md)** (*Cladrastis kentukea*) It grows wild in a scattered range centered on Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina, with outlying stands from Indiana and Illinois to Missouri and Arkansas. **[Northern Catalpa](https://bluewhaletrees.com/plants/northern-catalpa/index.html.md)** (*Catalpa speciosa*) Its native ground is a small area of the central Mississippi Valley in western Tennessee, northeast Arkansas, eastern Missouri, western Kentucky and southern Illinois and Indiana. After 200 years of planting it grows across most eastern states. **[Bald Cypress](https://bluewhaletrees.com/plants/bald-cypress/index.html.md)** (*Taxodium distichum*) It grows wild from southern Delaware to southern Florida along the coasts and up the Mississippi valley to southern Illinois. **[Bristly Locust (Rose Locust)](https://bluewhaletrees.com/plants/rose-locust/index.html.md)** (*Robinia hispida*) It grows wild in the mountains from Virginia to Kentucky and south to Georgia and Alabama, in open woods, on mountain slopes and on sand hills, and it has spread far beyond that range. **[Downy Hawthorn](https://bluewhaletrees.com/plants/downy-hawthorn/index.html.md)** (*Crataegus mollis*) Flora of North America treats scattered records farther east as misidentified plants or recent introductions. **[Clammy Locust](https://bluewhaletrees.com/plants/clammy-locust/index.html.md)** (*Robinia viscosa*) It is probably native only to the mountains of western North Carolina and Tennessee, and perhaps nearby states, at 500 to 4,000 feet. Planted for its flowers, it has escaped and spread far beyond that range, north to Nova Scotia and west to Wisconsin. **[Bottlebrush Buckeye](https://bluewhaletrees.com/plants/bottlebrush-buckeye/index.html.md)** (*Aesculus parviflora*) Farther north it grows wild only where it has escaped from gardens, as in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. **[Southern Magnolia](https://bluewhaletrees.com/plants/southern-magnolia/index.html.md)** (*Magnolia grandiflora*) It grows wild on the Coastal Plain from southeastern North Carolina to central Florida and west to eastern Texas. Birds carry its seed from planted trees, and it now grows wild well north and inland of that range. **[Sweetshrub](https://bluewhaletrees.com/plants/sweetshrub/index.html.md)** (*Calycanthus floridus*) It grows wild in woods, along streams and at woodland edges from Virginia, eastern Kentucky and central Tennessee south to the Florida Panhandle and west to eastern Louisiana. Centuries of planting have blurred that range, and in states such as Missouri, Pennsylvania, New York and Massachusetts it grows wild only where it has escaped from gardens. **[Softleaf Arrowwood](https://bluewhaletrees.com/plants/softleaf-arrowwood/index.html.md)** (*Viburnum molle*) Records from Alabama, Maryland, Mississippi, New York, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania lie outside its native range. **[Southern Catalpa](https://bluewhaletrees.com/plants/southern-catalpa/index.html.md)** (*Catalpa bignonioides*) Its native ground is the Gulf coastal plain, from southwest Georgia and the Florida panhandle west through Alabama and Mississippi to Louisiana. After three centuries of planting it grows wild across most of the East. **[Scentless Mock Orange](https://bluewhaletrees.com/plants/scentless-mock-orange/index.html.md)** (*Philadelphus inodorus*) It is native from Virginia, West Virginia and Kentucky south to Florida and Mississippi, and it grows wild as an introduced plant in many states to the north and west. ## Introduced, not native PLANTS records these growing wild in Pennsylvania and lists them as introduced to the region. - [Chinese Chestnut](https://bluewhaletrees.com/plants/chinese-chestnut/index.html.md) (*Castanea mollissima*): Not native, Medium tree, Zones 4–8, 40–60 ft, Price on request ### 192 of our trees and shrubs are not recorded in Pennsylvania Not recorded growing wild there by PLANTS.

distribution, records a species in a state when a specimen or a published record places it growing there on its own. The lists hold the trees and shrubs we grow that it records in the state. - **Native there.** PLANTS gives native status for a region, the lower 48 states as one, rather than for each state. So a species native to the East that has escaped from planting in a western state is recorded there as native to the region. A tree or shrub counts as native in a state PLANTS gives it as native, unless a narrower range is on record. - **A narrower range.** For 95 of our trees and shrubs the records carry the states their native range reaches. They come from the Forest Service's Silvics of North America and range descriptions, NatureServe Explorer's state records, the NRCS plant guides, the Biota of North America Program's atlas and the state floras. - **How a state is set apart.** A state where NatureServe calls a tree or shrub introduced is set apart when the range on its own page does not reach it. So is a western state where NatureServe has no record of it, far from that range. So is a state clearly outside the native range that Silvics of North America gives. - **Listed apart.** In a state its native range does not reach, a tree or shrub PLANTS records there is listed apart, under a sentence from its page on its range or on the record. Some trees and shrubs have spread far beyond their native range. Black locust, rose locust and the two catalpas have spread the farthest, each into 32 or 33 other states. - **Added from another record.** Where the range on a plant page reaches a state PLANTS lacks, the state is added, and its heading names the record that places the tree or shrub there. Bigleaf witch hazel was described in 2006, and PLANTS records it in Alabama and Mississippi only, so its Florida, Georgia and Texas records are NatureServe's. Another 24 trees and shrubs each carry a state or two this way, such as long-stalked holly's Georgia and Tennessee. - **Introduced.** A species PLANTS lists as introduced to the region is listed as introduced, not native. - **Not recorded.** The rest of our trees and shrubs, which PLANTS does not record growing wild in the state, are named in the fold under the lists. Many still grow well there when planted. - **Your zone.** The line under the heading counts the natives rated for the zone this device remembers, by each card's own zones, as the shop's zone filter counts them. Native here does not mean hardy where you are. - **The order.** The natives come by mature size, from large trees to shrubs. Within each size, Featured is the shop's own order. A state line is a surveyor's line. A species recorded in the next state, on the same river and the same soil, belongs on your ground as much as anything on this list, and one recorded in your state may be native only to a corner of it. [Why the range maps are wrong](https://bluewhaletrees.com/articles/range-maps-are-wrong/index.html.md) goes through the errors every range map carries and what to trust instead: herbarium records, state atlases and your own eyes. Each plant page states the native range in words, from the Forest Service's silvics and the state extension services. Sources: USDA, NRCS.
