wanted: looking for plants to distribute in the wild midwest

I have been killing of invasive plants, that are smoothering out native plants THis is copy/pasted, but it's all I have time to put

basically Im looking for anything that isn't going to cost much to ship (like seeds) medicinal plants like echinacea(spelling)

or just plain native to illinios anyways here, my post I made earlier

Im interested In obtaining plants native to The midwest.

I have wild plum here, but most stuff Is drowned out by invasives,

and if it wasn't for the forest preserve

I probaly wouldn't be able to find any of those either

Im just interested In plants that aren't common, but native.

I've never seen a persimmon wild, but they are native I see very few hickory tree's, but I noticed one in some ones yard, but not in the wild.

(maybe once in a forest, but still Im not sure, and thats only one area)

This is unfortunate

it seems every plum, that I found wild is in one area,

most of the edle berries grown in the same area, this is too bad I plan on growing them, and spreading them around,, and pears also(all Mine died since they were in gallon pots)

at least some of these seem to grow very easly, but in the wild they are over taken by buckthron, honey suckle, even a tiny bi annual garlic mustard which releases toxins to compete

(In it's natural range britan)

to kill off germinating saplings (oh also Goldeen rod is bad.)

alittle boring seeing the same plants..... crowding out the scenery
