# South Carolina: the native trees and shrubs we grow

> 244 trees and shrubs native to South Carolina by USDA PLANTS records, from 42 large trees to 107 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=SC

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.

## 244 of our 364 trees and shrubs are native to South Carolina

Recorded there by the USDA PLANTS Database, and native there by the rules below.

PLANTS has no record of Weeping Hawthorn in South Carolina. Flora of North America places it there.

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.

## Native only to part of the country

PLANTS records these growing wild in South Carolina, but their native range does not reach it. 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.

**[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.

**[Northern Pecan](https://bluewhaletrees.com/plants/pecan/index.html.md)** (*Carya illinoinensis*)

It grows wild in the lower Mississippi Valley, west to eastern Kansas and central Texas, east to western Tennessee and north into Iowa bottomlands, on deep alluvial loam.

**[Northern White Cedar](https://bluewhaletrees.com/plants/northern-white-cedar/index.html.md)** (*Thuja occidentalis*)

It grows wild from Nova Scotia and Quebec west to Manitoba and Minnesota, and south to northern Illinois, central Michigan and central New York. Isolated stands grow farther south along the Appalachians, to Virginia and Tennessee.

**[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.

**[Woolly Huckleberry](https://bluewhaletrees.com/plants/woolly-huckleberry/index.html.md)** (*Gaylussacia mosieri*)

USDA PLANTS also records it in South Carolina, outside the range the floras give.

**[Climbing Prairie Rose](https://bluewhaletrees.com/plants/climbing-prairie-rose/index.html.md)** (*Rosa setigera*)

In New England, along much of the Atlantic coast and in Mississippi and Louisiana, it was brought in from the Midwest or escaped from gardens.

### 114 of our trees and shrubs are not recorded in South Carolina

Not recorded growing wild there by PLANTS. Many still grow well there when planted: hardiness, soil and sun decide that, not the state line. Each page gives the tree's zones.

## How the lists are made

- **Recorded in the state.** The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service's PLANTS Database, the national standard for plant 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.
