Brown Turkey Fig - trade gallon
$17.95
Ficus carica ’Brown Turkey’ is a selection of fig that is hardier than the species and produces sweet edible figs in the fall. Grows to 10-14 feet rather slowly and likely as wide. It’s a favorite in the southeastern US for eating and canning, or roasted. It is self-pollinating so does not require another fig nearby. It fruits on new wood in the fall, but if you garden in a hotter climate you may get some fruit in the spring. Given an Award of Garden Merit by the Royal Horticultural Society. Zones 8-10 safely, and possibly as cold in Zone 6 with serious winter protection.

Chinese Snowball - 3 gallon
$42.95
The Chinese snowball is often confused as a huge hydrangea, near tree size. It’s not. It’s a viburnum although when each now separate species was first botanically classified by Linnaeus in his Species Plantarum they were grouped together. Later taxonomist’s divided them into distinct species. Enough history. These are fat 3 gallon Viburnum macrocephalum ’Sterile’ known generally as Chinese snowball. They grow large, 15 feet or so, and not as wide, depending on your pruning and garden space. Blooms in April for us (well before any hydrangea) and again but much more sparsely in autumn. Needs as much sun as possible. Light shade will do but nothing darker. Deer will browse but once it shoots up to become the large shrub it wants to be, they are dwarfed, left behind. It does not fruit as this is the sterile form. We only have a few as you’ll learn if you try to order a dozen. Zones 6 - 9. Not fragrant.

Enkianthus Rubens - 1 quart
$16.95
Enkianthus cernuus f. rubens is the most striking member of this genus. Slow growing, this shrub is a show-stopper when in bloom in late spring for those who notice plants closely. It does not scream like a billboard; it’s more like a lover’s whisper. The deep-red, fringed, bell-shaped flowers dangle below the thin stems. In autumn the foliage turns a reddish-purple. It is deciduous and needs good drainage and acidic soil. And the patience of a true gardener. Height to 5 feet. Zones 5 - 7.

Glowing Embers Japanese Maple - 1 gallon
$24.95
Cutting grown from a seedling selected by Dr. Michael Dirr at the University of Georgia Botanical Garden, Acer palmatum ’Glowing Embers’ is a very vigorous, upright-growing, green-leaf form that turns orange-purple in the fall with excellent heat tolerance so it has been adopted by a number Georgia tree growers.

Graham Thomas Rose - trade gallon
$19.95
We don’t grow many roses, only two or three, because we haven’t the patience to spray and prune and spray and prune and spray, as many roses require in order to perform in the garden. But we consider Rosa ’Graham Thomas’ to be a winner. Blooms are double, of pure yellow and very fragrant. It’s generally classified as an English shrub rose, and it gets tall, 8 to 9 feet, so plan ahead. Zones 5 - 9. Correct name is Rosa ’Ausmas’.

Historic Cumberland Island Olive - trade gallon
$29.95
"George Washington Slept Here" was a phrase I often heard as a child. (Likely all those spots have been bulldozed for next mega-mall given how little reverence this country has for its past.) So, how about "Thomas Jefferson brokered this Plant"? Maybe. To get the story as we can sort it out, click
here
. These are cutting grown olives from the ancient trees on the Dungeness site at the south end of Cumberland Island, Georgia. A bit of history. As Widow Greene learned it is a tricky business to grow Olea europa in the eastern US. We have to bring them under cover for the winter in zone 7(b) & I think that is wise for all colder than zone 9.

Osakazuki Japanese Maple - 10 gallon On-Site Pickup ONLY
$174.95
A well known selection of Japanese Maple that is a vigorous grower into a tree of perhaps 20 feet, Acer palmatum Osakazuki is green throughout the season until fall when it turns a brilliant crimson. Reputed to not scorch in sun, we have found it is happiest in the South in bright, filtered light. Like many Japanese maples, it is quite tough once established. These are grafted plants. Deciduous. Zones 6 - 8. These are available only at the nursery; they are far too large to ship.
