Ohio Native tree and shrub seeds

15 years ago

I operate a small native tree nursery in Delaware, OH. I am interested in obtaining native seeds of the following species that MUST be collected from Ohio: Buttonbush and Strawberry Bush (Euonymous americana) would be very helpful.

Buttonbush Cephalanthus occidentalis

Meadow-sweet Spiraea alba

Northern arrowwood Viburnum Recognitum

Red-osier dogwood Cornus sericea

Smooth alder Alnus serrulata

Speckled alder Alnus incana

Swamp rose Rosa palustris

Spicebush Lindera benzoin

Winterberry Ilex verticillata

High bush blueberry Vaccinium corymbosum

Sort by:Oldest

I have 15 acres that I just bought in Licking County. About 10 acres of old meadow and 5 of wetland forest/grasses. Not sure what all is there yet - (it was beautiful in the wooded area this spring ). Soil test showed 36 to 48 inches of top soil.

May be nothing there you want but your welcome to come look if you like. My goal is to have my own arboretum - at least one of every native Ohio tree. Maybe we could trade... Gary

Brandon, all the action is really over on the seed exchange forum. Post this offer there and watch the seeds go. though at this time of year, with Christmas, just about here, you may find it slow, and maybe not. seeds do make wonderful stocking stuffers.

I have some Florida azalea and sourwood seedlings -- they probably can't go into the ground until next year though, they are tiny. I have a spare Prairie rose seedling (also small), and will probably have rooted cuttings of swamp rose this fall as well. I am going to try to root some winterberry, beautyberry and blue mist shrub so there will be extras. I dug a sucker of a Carolina rose -- if that doesn't work I'm going to try to grow more from seed, if this drought doesn't keep the hips from maturing.

When would be a good time to get the trees and shrubs planted this year? I was thinking of having the plant material bought by the end of Augustor beginning of september and having it laid out in the area by the end of September to mark the spots to plant the treee/shrubs in and then have it planted by the middle of October. Does this sound like a good plan or should I wait for it to get colder before I plant the trees/shrubs?

rivethead,

I'm from IL but I know someone from Cinncinati who runs a small nursery/plant business from his house. He has quite a number of native & non-native woodies on his property. He's on another forum but I perhaps could ask him if I could pass along your request and list.
