The Pawpaw: Missouri's Official State Fruit TreeIn 2019, Missouri Governor Michael L. Parson proclaimed the pawpaw (Asimina triloba) as Missouri’s official state fruit tree. The pawpaw, belonging to a mostly tropical family of plants, is commonly found growing in groves in partially shaded deciduous woodlands and small woodland openings. The tree’s natural range is Missouri east to Pennsylvania, south to South Carolina and to east Texas. With their large tropical-appearing leaves and fruit, pawpaw trees are easily identifiable. In the fall, their leaves turn a brilliant yellow. If fruit is desired, it is important to plant two unrelated trees as the pawpaw requires cross pollination to set fruit. The sweet-tasting fruit ripens in the fall and can be eaten raw or with ice cream, or in pies or custard. It is also a favorite with some wildlife—especially raccoons and opossums. The pawpaw is the host plant for zebra swallowtail butterflies, whose caterpillars eat the foliage. Grow Native! professional members who sell trees are sources for pawpaw trees.

Native pastures provide healthy,
drought-tolerant forage for
livestock, and strips of prairie plants, at right, trap sediment and fertilizers,
and provide pollinator habitat
on farms.
Red buckeye is one of many native trees to plant instead of non-native, invasive bush honeysuckle or Callery pears.
The foliage of many native plants provides food for insects, which are in turn critical food for songbirds.
Make your home landscaping come alive with natives.
Natives in rain gardens slow and absorb stormwater, protecting streams.

GROW NATIVE 3 2020 RESOURCE GUIDE
Many insects including native bees pollinate the vast majority of flowering plants and one-third of our food crops.
Pollinator Café tags feature 10 of the many flowering plants native to the lower Midwest that provide nectar and/or pollen for pollinating insects. The landscape-worthy natives featured in the Pollinator Buffet series are among
many flowering plants that will help you provide nectar and pollen from early spring through late fall for pollinators.
Grow Native!’s
Monarch Café tags feature 8 best native species of milkweed–as recommended by Monarch Watch–in the lower Midwest for monarch butterfly caterpillars (larvae).
Nectar of milkweeds attracts many butterflies and other insects. Adult monarch butterflies lay their eggs on milkweeds, and when the caterpillars hatch, they eat the leaves and other plant parts.
Look for Grow Native! tags when you shop for plants.

omFeed butterflies & bees with native plants
Many native bees—of a variety of sizes andshapes—are the only insects that pollinatecertain fruits and vegetables. For example, squash bees are vital for squash flower pollination, and bumble bees pollinate tomato flowers. Sustaining and increasing native bee populations with native plants helps ensure there are plenty of pollinators for the fruits and vegetables you grow!

Choose native plants to support nature’s food web & help songbirds thrive
In addition to needing native host plants for insect food for their babies, adult songbirds also need protein-rich and fat-rich fruits and seeds. Shrubs like native viburnums, deciduous holly, and serviceberry, at right, provide fruits that songbirds relish. Prairie plants like coreopsis and native grasses provide seeds to sustain goldfinches and sparrows.
Planting a variety of native grasses, wildflowers, shrubs, and trees provides songbirds diverse habitat structure they need to nest and to escape predators and severe weather.
Beloved birds—like cardinals, chickadees, orioles, bluebirds and so many more—must feed their babies insects and other invertebrates. To raise one nest of chickadee babies, parents must forage up to 9,000 caterpillars to feed them (Brewer 1961).*
What nourishes caterpillars? Native plants! Beneficial insects (and their caterpillar larvae) are dependent on native plants as their food sources—for example, more than 500 different kinds of caterpillars feed on oak trees—and these plants flourish despite the munching.

Shade These spring wildflowers create a carpet of blooms in shady areas. Some of the many other natives for shade or part shade are American spikenard (Aralia racemosa), American beakgrain grass (Diarrhena obovata), Pennsylvania sedge (Carex pensylvanica), oak sedge (Carex albicans), and alumroots (Heuchera sp.).
Full Sun Create a vibrant summer display with these natives that do well in full sun. Other landscape-worthy, top-performing natives for full sun include blue wild indigo (Baptisia australis), Texas green eyes (Berlandiera texana), blazing stars (Liatris sp.), prairie dropseed grass (Sporobolus heterolepis), little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium), butterfly milkweed (Ascepias tuberosa), New England aster (Symphyotricum novae-angliae), and purple prairie clover (Dalea purpurea).
Aquatics Use natives for ponds and water features to add beauty and help support amphibians. Emergent vegetation serves as perching places for aquatic insects, which in turn provide food for frogs. In addition to these native aquatics, also try southern blue flag (Iris virginica), copper iris (Iris fulva), water canna (Thalia dealbata), and water plantain (Alisma trivale).
Ground covers These natives work well as spreading ground covers, in light to medium shade and dry to average soils. Other native ground covers to try—all under 6 inches—are wild ginger (Asarum canadense), cedar sedge (Carex eburnea), barren strawberry (Waldsteinia fragarioides), and prairie pussytoes (Antennaria neglecta).

ContainersExpand use and enjoyment of natives by potting them in containers. Choosing native perennials for containers isn’t just a beautiful option, but an environmentally responsible one too. In addition to providing ecological benefits for insects and other creatures, using long-lived perennials in pots means you won’t be replanting them every year with annuals—which requires heavy energy inputs in their hothouse cultivation. For each container, choose plants with contrasting heights and foliage, but with similar growing requirements (e.g., moist or dry). To protect plant roots from cold, overwinter in the fall by sinking containers in leaf piles. Uncover in early spring.

GROW NATIVE 6 2020 RESOURCE GUIDE
Planting strips of prairie plants within row crop agriculture—even on only 10% of the area—dramatically improves water quality and habitat for pollinators and birds.
Native prairie plants provide nutritious, healthy forage for livestock that is drought-tolerant and also create habitat for grassland birds and other wildlife.
Plant natives to absorb rainwater runoff from rooftops, parking lots, and other impervious surfaces.
Directing water into the ground conserves the Earth’s freshwater resources andprotects streams and property from flooding. Native plants used in rain gardens andbioswales also provide habitat for pollinators, birds, and more.
A rain garden can absorb 30 percent more water than a comparable-sized parcel ofturf and allows the water to slowly filter into the ground rather than run off into stormdrains. A rule of thumb is to plant the square footage of your rain garden equal to at least30 percent of the square footage of your roof. Make a shallow depression or swale and plant native wetland or moist-soil prairie plants that can accept periods of inundation.
Natives suitable for rain gardens or saturated soils include those pictured here as wellas palm sedge (Carex muskingumensis), rose mallow (Hibiscus lasiocarpos), blue lobelia (Lobelia siphilitica), wild bergamot (Monarda fistulosa), Culver’s root (Veronicastrum virginicum), swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata), and many others.
Larger rain gardens can include a wetland shrub, such as buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis), or shining blue star (Amsonia illustris) for a vertical accent. For rain garden slopes and berms, choose low-growing natives for drier conditions.
