Bush & Shrub List - Spring 2027

A cold-hardy native with tart berries perfect for syrup, wine, and wildlife. The flowers feed pollinators in spring, the berries feed birds in winter, and the fiery red fall color is just a bonus. Tough, useful, and ornamental.

📏 Spacing: 4–6 ft
☀️ Sunlight: Full sun to part shade
🌎 Soil: Moist, well-drained; slightly acidic to neutral
🐝 Pollination: Self-fertile, but yields improve with multiple plants

A native favorite with rich flavor and wild appeal. These canes arch up with shiny black berries in early summer and are perfect for fresh eating or jam. Bonus: they make great hedgerows and fill in fast.

📏 Spacing: 3–4 ft between plants
☀️ Sunlight: Full sun
🌎 Soil: Rich, moist, well-drained; slightly acidic
🐝 Pollination: Self-fertile

Hardy, productive, and just the right mix of wild and tame. Our varieties are suited for Appalachian winters and fill out quickly. Use them in windbreaks, fencerows, or as a standalone food hedge.

📏 Spacing: 2–3 ft between plants
☀️ Sunlight: Full sun
🌎 Soil: Well-drained, loamy; pH 5.5–6.5
