Winter 2028 stock is mostly the genuinely slow: oaks and other woody plants grown from seed, conifers that will not be rushed, natives we raise in small numbers with no shortcut available.

One parent is the yuzu, itself a cross of \u003cem\u003eCitrus ichangensis\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eCitrus reticulata\u003c\/em\u003e; the other is the 'Nagami' kumquat, \u003cem\u003eFortunella margarita\u003c\/em\u003e. From that three-way pedigree comes an attractive evergreen citrus that bears sour, juicy, lemon-like fruits about the size of a chicken egg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe fruits make a fine substitute for the common commercial lemon, bright and aromatic in the kitchen, and the tree is considerably more cold hardy than a true lemon, an important difference for Southern gardeners. The Yuzuquat thrives and bears heavily in Augusta, Georgia, proof of a constitution well beyond the usual lemon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the garden, grow the Yuzuquat in full sun and sharp, well-drained soil, in the ground through zones 8 and 9 or in a large container to overwinter farther north. Site where the fragrant white spring blossom and the yellow fruit can both be enjoyed, and keep a plant near the kitchen for a hardy lemon off the branch. A productive, good-looking citrus for the cook and the collector alike.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Woodlanders","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42057836429427,"sku":"CITR-HYBR-YUZU-01G","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0605\/7505\/5987\/files\/DETA-2093.jpg?v=1720137340"},{"product_id":"magnolia-virginiana-dodds-small-leaf","title":"Magnolia virginiana (Dodd's small leaf)","description":"\u003cp\u003eSweetbay magnolia is one of the loveliest and most useful of the native magnolias, a tree of moist and swampy ground across the eastern United States from Massachusetts to Texas. The northern plants, Magnolia virginiana var. virginiana, are shrubby and deciduous; the southern, var. australis, grow into larger, evergreen trees. All share the sweetbay's gifts: leaves silvery white beneath that flash in the wind, and creamy, intensely fragrant flowers with a clean lemon scent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Dodd's Small Leaf' is a distinctive clone of the southern, evergreen variety, and the plant came to us with a good story. To the amusement of the late, great Tom Dodd, Jr., we did not even recognize the plant as a sweetbay when we first saw it exhibited by Tom Dodd Nurseries at the Atlanta trade show some years ago: where a typical sweetbay carries four- or five-inch leaves, this form bears leaves barely two inches long, with small flowers to match. Mr. Dodd shared several plants with us, and they are now sizeable trees at Hopelands Gardens here in Aiken, South Carolina.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lineage carries a little mystery. There are said to be several clones named for Alabama rivers, though we believe they are much alike, and we do not know for certain which one we grow. Mr. Dodd recalled that the seed-parent tree, apparently an ordinary sweetbay, stood at Coden, Alabama, and that a number of seedlings raised at the nursery came out as this small-leaf form. Recent word suggests we are propagating the clone 'Tensaw', reputedly the only one that roots readily from cuttings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhatever the name, the plant is a charmer: a fine-textured, small-leaved evergreen sweetbay, more delicate in effect than the ordinary kind and lovely as a multi-stemmed small tree at a pond edge, a stream margin, a moist border, or the woodland edge. Give moist, acidic soil in sun to part shade, and enjoy the lemon-scented summer flowers, which draw pollinators and feed the caterpillars of the eastern tiger swallowtail. Few native trees give so much fragrance and fine texture for so little trouble.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Woodlanders","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42057919889523,"sku":"MAGN-VIRG-DODD-SMAL-01G","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0605\/7505\/5987\/files\/DETA-1807.jpg?v=1720139519"},{"product_id":"stewartia-sinensis","title":"Stewartia sinensis","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis small tree of Chinese origin has showy white flowers and fall foliage that is red or reddish.
