Grant's Native Plants is a new native plant nursery offering to sell a limited number of native plants in Madison, Oneida and neighboring counties. 

For at the present time there are no nurseries, except one east of Syracuse which offers only native plants.

I have used my own photos wherever possible and granted some of the stock photos are far superior. 

 With regards to providing detailed plant info this is going to take considerable time. Therefore I would suggest doing a google search to find detailed information regarding each plant species.

        Winterberry is my favorite shrub  and I  think it should be given much greater emphasis as I think it is not only unappreciated, misunderstood and greatly under utilized.  Unappreciated because it doesn't have beautiful showy colorful flowers. Instead both the male and female plants just have tiny white flowers which are almost unnoticeable from a distance. 

       Instead of showy flowers that may last less than a week and which with most plants will remain uninteresting and unattractive until the next season. Compared to winterberry which by late July when the branches on the female plant are loaded with green berries which by themselves stand out amongst the rather deep green leathery like  leaves which these leaves alone are still rather attractive in mid to late summer.

        Whereas the leaves on most other trees and shrubs are starting to show the ravages of disease, insect and heat damage as the summer progresses the winterberry leaves are pretty much resistant to most disease and insect damage still remain rather attractive compared with the leaves on other shrubs and trees.

    I still have  much more with regards to the merits of Winterberry to add still, so please be patient as it will be in the winterberry section.

      Click the Winterberry TAB  to see many more photos which I have taken as well as much more information with regards to Winterberry. 

Since this is my first year where I am serious about selling plants I have a lot to learn. I spent last year learning how to germinate, finding the best soil for germination and repotting which I think I have finally mastered.  I still am not sure the best time for starting each species so that they are at the desired stage to market, not too large or too small. Likewise I really have no idea how many I will be selling, so just a guess for each species.   

With regards to the Winterberry Plants I would expect to have well over a hundred for sale. I have already marked approximately 30 with known berries. The balance I will not know the sex of until mid-June when they will be with flowers and many will still be too small for flowers. Most of the ones that will be large enough for sale will average18 to 24 inches   in height and will have a root mass of approximately  12 inches or larger. Therefore I think the best approach will be to dig on site and wrap the root ball in burlap. 

Please refer to the section that's totally devoted on the  Winterberry plants which again are not only underappreciated, misunderstood and greatly under utilized.    I hope to change these perceptions.
