Oikos tree crops has some good natives-- I have not checked their inventory
lately. Sometimes there is a conservation nursery in a state that carries
lots of natives and tell their origins in the state. I know Montana has one .

There is also a nursery in Oregon with a lot of natives but may be the west
coast varieties instead of east coast plants- -but they do sell all over the
us.

Barry,

Note: as Lon Rombough once pointed out to me, Aronia (Photinia) melanocarpa
[black chokeberry] NERO AND VIKING are hexaploids - not the straight species
- bred as such

NOTE: CULTIVARS OF Prunus american of midwestern providence are not of the
same subspecies as the eastcoast, and other such points, etc

NOTE THAT THE USDA REPOSITORY has a number of preserved wild plum selections
that are non-hybrids: P. munsoniana/rivularis/hortulana complex, P.
americana, P. maritima, P. nigra, etc.

I would not expect to find selections of the 2 native hazelnut species,
Viburnum lentago/V. prunifolium/V. nuddom, the rarer Amelanchier spp.,
may-apple, hillside blueberry, black highbush blueberry, purple passionflower
(?), purple-flowering and thimble raspberries, Prunus alleghaniensis, the 2
native hackberries, Mexican plum, Mexican persimmon, the 2 swisted-stalks,
blue huckleberry, etc.
