We are continously collecting and growing the plants that will make your landscape come alive. However, availability often depends on the weather, successful pollination of flowers, or the cycle of acorn or nut production from a particular species. This is why we don't always have a constant inventory of a particular plant.

Check here for the latest updates

Some of our recent collections are already in the production cycle and will be ready in the coming months and years. Next Spring we should again have young Italian Stone and Aleppo pines ready for your landscape. There is also a new crop coming along of pawpaws, a native shade tree with fruit that tastes like a cross between a banana and papaya. To add to a tropical look, Dan's latest introduction, "MachoVerde", is a Retama/Texas Paloverde hybrid that is colorful, fast growing, and freeze resistant too.

We also have a limited quantity of one gallon Barbados Cherry, Turk's Cap, and Salvia Microphylla (cult. "Rasberry Royale") to bring in the butterflies.Keep checking back in the wildflower section, Dan has about twenty new species coming along in one gallons, including at least seven species of penstemon and four species of Silphiums.

Rare oaks and more

A limited quantity of two unique and handsome oaks are coming along in five gallon containers. The Gray Oak (Quercus grisea) and Silver-Leaf Oak (Quercus hypoleucoides) were collected on Dan's Davis Mountain trip last year, both of these oaks rarely make acorns. We also have some rare Vasey Oak in this crop too.

\We also have a robust crop of Montezuma Cypress, and Texas Redbuds in one gallon containers and the uncommon and beautiful Weeping Junipers from the Big Bend area in five gallon size.

Bunchgrasses - durable and beautiful

Right now our robust one gallon Prairie Cordgrass, Bushy Bluestem, Cut-Rice Grass, Lindheimer Muhly, and Deer Muhly in one gallon containers are ready to go.

Succulents

This spring we will have Texas Aloe (Manfreda maculosa) available in quantity. Dan introduced this gorgeous, shade-tolerant South Texas plant to the nursery trade in 1992 but too many times our chickens have evaporated the sprouting seedlings before they got a chance to grow (must be very tasty). The young plants are better protected this year so we are keeping our fingers crossed.

Madrone Nursery is open by appointment only.
