Found in nature in wet swamp soil, but will do great in good garden soil. Small white flowers in the spring; dark purple berries in the fall attract birds. Intense red autumn color. Best in full to half day sun. Best fruit production occurs in full sun.
Nut is edible and attractive to wildlife. Likes at least half day of sun and good garden soil. A harbinger of spring when male catkins elongate 2-3 inches and release puffs of pollen. Excellent red, yellow, and orange fall color. Better chance of producing nuts if you have 3-5 plants. Best grown in moist, well-drained soil.
Very durable large shrub. Features pink or white, five-petaled flowers in late spring. Flowers give way to drooping clusters of reddish fruit. Exfoliating bark exposes cinnamon brown inner bark for winter interest. Great in shrub borders. Full to half-day sun; dry to medium moisture. Attractive to waterfowl and bees.
A hardy deciduous holly. The red berries are spectacular in fall and winter and provide food for birds and other wildlife. Plants are not separated into males and females, so plant 3-5 shrubs to insure a good mix for fruit production. Easily grown in acidic, medium to wet soils in full sun to part shade. Deer resistant.
