Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Trachelospermum asiaticum 'Oblanceolatum' asian star jasmine Long in horticulture in the Willamette Valley, this vigorous ground cover or vine, to 8 ft, has narrow leaves (as the name suggests), wider at the base, deep green marked with silver that turns a most attractive purpleybronze in winter. Sweetly fragrant creamy flowers if allowed to climb. Summer moisture for best growth. Sun to dappled shade. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 6in @ $12 Apocynaceae Trachelospermum asiaticum 'Ogon Nishiki' asian star jasmine Ever-colorful vine or scrambler keeps growing along the ground, over a bank or up a trellis or tree, showing off the yellow-orange-red-green marbled patterns of the evergreen leaves. We like the way the fresh new growth unfolds in the spring and the way the old growth colors in response to winter cold and hope you do too. Adaptable in sun to part shade with regular summer moisture for faster growth. Frost hardy to 0F, USDA zone 7. 2g @ $24 Apocynaceae Trachelospermum asiaticum 'Theta' asian star jasmine A Cistus introduction, named for Sean’s mother, this extremely ornamental star jasmine has distinctve foliage -- very narrow, under 3/8" wide x 2" long -- and a vining, scrambling habit, draping beautifully over walls, in a rockery, or in a container. Vigorous and hardy in full to part sun with some summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 1g @ $14 Apocynaceae Trachelospermum jasminoides 'Variegatum' star jasmine A pretty and delicate form brought from England in 1997, this cultivar is as vigorous as the species but the leaves, measuring about 1/2" x 2", are margined and streaked creamy white and plants show a great propensity for climbing. Sweetly scented flowers, more white than cream, in great abundance but small. Makes a wonderful contrast with other clinging vines with dark green leaves, e.g., creeping figs (Ficus pumila) or climbing evergreen hydrangeas (Hydrangea seamanii). We have used this in dark courtyards with such plants as variegated forms of Fatsia japonica and variegated Aspidistra to great effect. Shade to sun, though not likely to flower in deepest shade. Fertile, well-watered soil preferably. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 2g @ $22 Apocynaceae Trachycarpus fortunei chinese windmill palm Hardiest and best palm for Portland. Medium growing to 20 ft or more. Best in full sun with ample moisture. Site out of wind to prevent tattering of leaves. Frost hardy to anything Portland can give it, easy in USDA zone 8; zone 7 and upper 6 with protection. 1g @ $18, 5g @ $55, 15g @ $225 Arecaceae Trachycarpus takil kumaon fan palm A vigorous chusan palm with exceptionally large fronds, standing upwards of 4-5 ft and bending in a uniform manner giving the tree a robust and almost weeping effect. Quick growth, sometimes more than 18" of trunk per year in happy times. Best in sun, though quite elegant in dappled shade, in rich soil with summer water where dry. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7 though fans can tatter below 10F, regrowing in summer. 15g @ $195 Arecaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 102
Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Trachycarpus wagnerianus japanese temple palm To us the most exquisite of the Trachycarpus clan, found nearly 200 years ago in a temple in southern Japan and known only from cultivation. The stiff, symmetric leaves, looking as if shorn carefully at the ends, are lightly edged in white indumentum and often have most attractive pale blue undersides. Because of the rigidity of the leaves, they never tatter in high winds. Their most unique feature and what makes them most easily recognized is the several years spent resembling a miniature palm, as from very early on their fronds become "adult" -- even when only 4" or 5" across. Can be kept dwarf for many years but in the ground, with adequate summer water, they grow even more quickly than typical chusan palms, actually doubling in size for several years. Our 10 year old plants are now approaching 12-15 ft in height. (A small tidbit: though an incorrect entry, a palm book years ago confused T. wagnerianus with T. takil when actually they have little in common.) Best in bright sun. About as frost hardy as T. fortunei but shows damage less easily, e.g. no tattering. Our seed is produced from our own isolated plants. Woohoo! These plants already at least 4 years 6in @ $22, 2g @ $37, 3g @ $37, 5g @ $57, 7g @ Arecaceae Trillium angustipetalum narrow petal wake robin Large trillium species, native in California and only slight beyond, this species related to the T. chloropetalum coast group in California and Oregon. To 15" tall, with wide, oval leaves, very horizontal, forming whorls up to 2 ft across, sometimes mottled in darker green. Spring flowers are showy, dark red-purple when new, with the long, narrow petals described by the name. Summer drought tolerant, these are happy in dappled shade to light shade. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 4in @ $15 Melanthiaceae Trillium kurabayashii - Oak Flats, Chetko River, OR Collected from Oak Flats near Oregon's Chetko River, and selected for their particularly purple spotted leaves. These, from seed, grow to 18" tall and have handsome flowers in the red range. As with most West Coast native trilliums, These prefer dappled shade and dry summers. Easy in the right conditions. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 4D @ $18 Melanthiaceae Vaccinium glaucoalbum himalayan huckleberry Native, as the common name would suggest, to China's Yunnan Province and beyond, this is a dwarf huckleberry, to only 2 ft tall over a long period -- a bit taller in shady conditions, the handsome, oval leaves to 2-3", large for the shrubs diminutive size and colored blue-green on top with reflective, lighter coloring beneath. Purplish winter tints add to the foliage interest. White flowers tinted pink emerge in May from striking, overlapping buds and produce fat blue-black berries, quite edible, in autumn. Sun to part shade with regular summer water. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 6in @ $14 Ericaceae Vaccinium ovatum california huckleberry A handsome, West Coast native growing from Alaska to California, this evergreen huckleberry reaches 2-3 ft tall in the sun and much taller, up to 12 ft x 10 ft, in shade. Foliage is small and shiny and spring flowers are pinkish urns followed by dark purple berries, delicious if you can get there before the birds. Easily trimmed into a hedge or planted as a backdrop. Enjoys moist, well-drained, acidic soil. Also tolerates salt spray on the coast.
