We sometimes offer small saplings. Our nursery being small-scale, it's difficult to carry large nursery stock or have an extensive inventory of species. If we do have some small native trees available, you will find them in the shrub category, where you will also find wonderful native shrubs for your landscape.

A cultivar of a native plant species is often referred to as a "Nativar". Nativars are derived from native plants that were selected or altered through breeding to have features that humans desire - like bigger blooms brighter colours or disease resistance. Some hybrids are sterile and therefore don't produce pollen. In some cultivated plants, the pollen and nectar are hard to access due to altered flower shapes - like double blooms. So this causes pollinators to make a greater effort for a lesser reward. One thing that makes most nativars inferior to straight natives ecologically, is that most of them are propagated clonally, which means there’s no genetic variability. In the age of climate change, genetic variability in our plants is particularly important. With extreme climactic swings, putting plants with no genetic variability out in the environment is just not a good idea. We need strong genetic diversity so that our plants can adapt to change. A big problem is that we've been trained to think of plants as just decorations. Cultivars are beautiful, and we DO want beautiful plants in our garden. But we also need to think about those vital functions that plants are performing in our yard. Some nativars are smaller in stature or more compact than their parent. They are often a genetic variant found in the wild to be smaller than others of the same species. They are chosen, given a name, bred to have the same genetic trait as their parent and sold as a cultivar. Size is essentially a functional trait that enhances our ability to use that plant in a residential landscape. A great example would be the ‘Baby Joe’ cultivar of Joe Pye Weed. If being smaller allows you to use it in the landscape, go for it, there's nothing wrong with that! It might just be better to use a cultivar of a native plant than an alien ornamental. What we do need to be skeptical of, is those plants that have been bred to have enlarged bracts or altered colours. It's thought that those manipulations might have a negative impact on pollen and nectar production. So if you’re planting this cultivar for pollinators, you do need to be aware of that...
