Another of the native trees and shrubs is the Fragrant Sumac. It requires a dry, upland site for planting and full sun. It grows from eight to twenty feet in height. It is a thicket-forming shrub and is a good plant for controlling erosion on road cuts and other sloping areas with poor dry soils. It blooms in the spring and has Yellow Flowers and red fruits that remain on the plant during the winter. In the fall, it produces Beautiful Red foliage.
A third of the native trees and shrubs is the PawPaw. It grows on a moist upland site near the water's edge in partial and full sun. It can grow in height from right to twenty feet. It blooms in the spring and produces the largest Edible Fruit of any plant native to America, eaten by raccoons and other small mammals. As such, it was cultivated by native American tribes for food. In the fall, it flower becomes yellow in color.

Tree Fern Help (Dicksonia Antarctica)?
Hi
I bought a tree fern about a month ago. I have been reading up on them and some sites say they do not root at all and others say they take 6months to root again after planting?
Do they root from the bottom again? I know you water them at the top of the crown, where I was led to believe the root of the plant is, as if you cut it in half the top will continue to grow, but the bottom wont apparently? If this is the case, surely it WON'T root from the bottom again?
I am concerned as I bought a large pot to put it in, but am now worried if it sprouts roots I am going to have to re pot it again sooner rather than later?
Any advice appreciated.
)
It does not have any roots.However a lot of people confuse the shoots at the bottom for roots.In facts these tendrils at the bottom help to stabilish the trunk and stop it from falling over in the wild.You can put them in concrete and they will grow.The fern does not need roots to grow,as it gets everything it needs from air and water.
If you cut the fern into pieces,after the First Year they should all grow,if kept moist
