There are several options, including the species listed below. Several are carried by nurseries with a well-stocked tree department, though some might be harder to find than others, especially in fall (still a great time to plant, though) since nursery inventory and selection of trees tends to be lower overall compared to spring. If you happen to choose a species that is on the Marylanders Plant Trees rebate program list, participating nurseries can lower the tree purchase cost by the rebate amount.

• American Fringetree (Chionanthus virginicus)
• Green Hawthorn (Crataegus viridis) -- the cultivar most common in the nursery trade is 'Winter King'
• Crabapple (Malus, several species and hybrids) -- few are locally native and those pure species are hard to find, but hybrids are common and generally allowed by the rebate program
• Common Witchhazel (Hamamelis virginiana) -- woodland species in the wild, but will tolerate full sun; autumn flowers are sometimes hard to see amid the yellowing leaves, since they overlap
• Blackhaw Viburnum (Viburnum prunifolium) -- usually sold as a shrub with multiple stems, but might be available tree-form with one trunk (though growing with several trunks is fine); if it begins shrubby, it will need time and possibly some training with occasional pruning to mature into a tree-like shape
• American Plum (Prunus americana)
• Chickasaw Plum (Prunus angustifolia) -- varies in size, ranging from a large shrub to a small tree
• Serviceberry (Amelanchier, several species and hybrids)
• Eastern Redbud (Cercis canadensis) -- if the site is not too dry, or if they are able to be irrigated occasionally during drought

Extension doesn't collect information on nursery offerings or provide particular recommendations for where to buy plants. However, for native plant shopping in general, the resources below might be helpful for finding suppliers, though these lists are probably not exhaustive.
