Carolina Silverbell

Want to support native trees in the State of Georgia? Find the best selection of indigenous species right here at Nature Hills Nursery!

With a wide range of biomes from Atlantic Ocean Coastal areas and beaches, to Riparian and Marine wetlands, mountains, semi-deserts and Georgia is about 43% forest!

You’ll get the best results when you choose salt-tolerant, coastal trees and native trees for Georgia that can handle hurricanes, drought, sandy soil, heat and humidity throughout the year. By choosing plants specifically for your area, you can rest assured your tree is well suited to climate and soil because they originated there!

Native trees typically need less water once established, establish faster and tolerate local growing zones, climate, weather, and anything else your State can throw at them. Plus you’ll feed pollinators, songbirds, and wildlife by providing them with flowers and plants they recognize!

Best Georgia Native Trees

The Eastern Red Cedar, Elm, and Honeylocust are the Brown Thrasher State Birds’ favorite trees!

Georgia has a wide range of USDA growing zones from 6 to 9. Start by finding native trees for your Georgia landscape by knowing your Hardiness Zone, and then choose any tree that has a growing zone range that includes yours! Check with your local County Extension Office for more information if needed and for the many microclimates within these zones.
