I’m currently hunting down pawpaw trees, Blueberry bushes, black raspberry, and other native fruits for my garden.
Looking for suggestions.
I looked into black cherries, but they get too large and too easily wind damaged for the proximity I’d have to plant them to my house.
The American Black Cherry (Prunus serotina) is native, it gets upto 80 feet tall.
And while I do have some non-native plants. I’m hoping to fill out the rest of my garden with Native fruit. I have found two native plums to my region(Prunus Niagra and Prunus Americana).
And apparently I’ve been ignoring a variety of native nuts, though they are all too large. I’m hoping to keep any trees under 30ft, but I’m also planting things that aren’t trees.
Neato, I didn’t know about that cherry. Good luck with your search and your garden!
