I grow a curated variety of trees and seeds on my 1/4 acre nursery (inspected and certified in the state of New Jersey) using no-till methods. All the plants are highly resilient specimens, grown in natural low-input conditions with no irrigation, no chemicals, and no special care (just love). I select mostly native plants that perform well under a wide range of conditions. Products include beach plum, persimmon, and chestnut seedlings; lofthouse sunroots; a direct-seed tomato seed mix; and more.

Bare-root tree seedlings ship in Fall or Spring. Order now for fall shipping and select which week you want your order to ship. (Transplanting trees is a great activity to do on Thanksgiving morning!)

Bumping this thread because Fall shipping is now open for 2026.
I have added a bunch of new species to the catalog, including american elderberry, seedlings of John Hershey's american persimmons and honey locust, sand cherries, choke cherries, chokeberries, hackberries (they taste so much better than the names imply LOL), wild strawberries, and more!

Devon, is that lovely cactus as large as it looks in your picture, or one of those closer to the camera effects?

BTW, love your nursery offerings!

Thank you kindly!

I was crouching next to the cactus, which was about 3 feet tall at the time. It has since flopped over. Still quite a bit taller than the local wild prickly pears, which grow as a ground cover.

Amazing!  My prickly pears I'm growing in ground here in Maine are so much smaller.  Is it from one of the same sources as one of the two prickly pear varieties you're currently selling? (and if so, which one?)  

Currently the only prickly pear I am offering for sale is Opuntia humifusa, the low-growing native species found throughout the Eastern US. That is because I'm unsure of the species ID or native range for my other prickly pears. Also because Opuntia humifusa is the only one I have that seems to remain totally disease-free after planting outside. (Even this summer when it rained nearly every day for weeks!)

Sorry to show off things that aren't for sale in my advertising thread, but... I also have this unidentified one from Arizona that flowered the last 2 years!
