Seeds are not mixed together. Native woody plants often require patience. Some seeds benefit from cold-moist stratification, and germination can occur over an extended period rather than all at once.

This collection includes five individually packaged species, with approximately 25 seeds per packet and approximately 125 seeds total. Includes: Black Cherry (Prunus serotina) — 25 seeds Staghorn Sumac (Rhus typhina) — 25 seeds Black Huckleberry (Gaylussacia baccata) — 25 seeds Black Chokeberry (Aronia melanocarpa) — 25 seeds Red Elderberry (Sambucus racemosa) — 25 seeds Together, these species provide a mix of trees and shrubs that can add structure, fruit, cover, fall color, and ecological value to a planting. This collection is a good fit for native gardeners, landowners, habitat projects, woodland restoration, naturalized borders, and anyone who wants to establish a broader mix of native woody plants from seed.

Woody native seeds often require cold stratification or other pretreatment. Germination times vary by species and may be irregular. Growing native trees and shrubs from seed is a longer-term project, but it can be an economical way to establish larger numbers of plants.
