Elk Mountain Nursery specializes in plants native to the Eastern United States. In addition to our native collection, we also have a number of introduced species, many of which have naturalized in the East. This season we have also included a number of rare shrubs and trees from Asia and Europe. Many of these are hard to find and all are superb additions to the landscape.
Our nursery is located in the mountains of Western North Carolina. The long, cool growing season; coupled with a short, but intense winter; makes Asheville an ideal site for a nursery serving the Eastern United States. The nursery is in USDA Zone 6, allowing us to grow a wide variety of species adapted to both cooler and warmer areas.
We have continued the tradition of producing a "minimalist" web site. There are no graphics or advanced HTML to slow downloads or confuse your computer. There are lots of plant photos but they are optional. Our catalog should work well with virtually any web brower or computer.
We take great pride in providing vigorous, healthy plants. Our shipping methods are the finest in the business. And we do our best to make every customer a repeat customer!
Take a little time to browse through the Catalog - new photographs are added often - and don't forget to set a bookmark for the Elk Mountain Nursery.
"It was the best packing job I have ever seen! The plants came out of the box looking like they had not minded at all!...Thank you for taking such loving care of the plants."
"Very good condition. Best packing job I have had the pleasure of receiving. The Mountain Laurel is prime-twice as good as the local nurseries offer..."
