Needles are 6" long in sets of two and occasionally 3. Tolerates poor soils but good drainage is best for long term health.

Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Quercus cerris european turkey oak Native to southern Europe and Asia Minor, a deciduous tree, growing to 30 ft or so at a medium rate. The bark is dark gray and furrowed, eventually showing orange streaks at the base of mature trunks, and leaves are multi-lobed, dark, glossy green in a dense, rounded canopy. Full to part sun. Very tolerant, accepting many soils, summer drought, as well as both inland and coastal conditions. A good urban street tree. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6. 1g @ $18 Fagaceae Quercus chrysolepis cañon live oak An extremely handsome, evergreen native oak found in western dry country and able to withstand great drought, these from acorns collected in the wild near Cave Junction, Oregon at 4000 ft. Wonderfully adapted to dry summer climates and very successful as a street tree. Fast growing when young and slowing in maturity, these can reach 20-30 ft in your lifteime in deep soil with bright sun to part shade. Frost hardy into at least the single digits, F, low USDA zone 7. Can be shrubby when young so encourage a strong leader. 6D @ $16 Fagaceae Quercus kelloggii kellogg oak, california black oak One of the West's most majestic oaks -- to 30-60 ft -- ranging from the foothills of southern California to western Oregon, with dark, furrowed bark and upright, vase shape . The shiny leaves look a bit like a typical red or pin oak and color to oranges and yellows in mid to late fall. Drought tolerant and hard to find in native plant nurseries, these represent our collections from Dunsmuir Canyon in the Siskiyou Mountains. USDA zone 6. 5g @ $47 Fagaceae Rhapidophyllum hystrix needle palm Wonderful rare species growing amid the cypress swamps of northern Florida, Mississippi, Alabama and Georgia, and just nipping into South Carolina. This slow growing clumper -- eventually to 10 ft with multiple offsets -- has a trunk covered with blackish fur and numerous spines, and graceful, glossy green leaves on long petioles. An easy plant in the garden; happy in shade to full sun in coastal climates and appreciative of generous summer water. Slow growing where nights are cool. Possibly the hardiest palm with numerous reports of little to no damage at 0 to -10F, USDA zone 6, and some of survival as cold as -22F, upper USDA zone 4, with only a little protection. Avoid root disturbance when transplanting. Very slow from seed. Ours are 7 years old. 15g @ $125 Arecaceae Ribes roezlii sierra gooseberry A West Coast native gooseberry, this form collected in Josephine County, Oregon, a small shrub to 4-5 ft tall and wide with maroon-purple flowers in early spring dangling below the branches, reminiscent of R. speciosum blossoms. Gooseberries that follow are edible and definitely jam-worthy. Plants are less thorny than, say, R. speciosum. Sun to part shade in lean, well-drained soil. Summer water to establish and drought tolerant thereafter. Frost hardy in USDA zone 6, possibly into zone 5. 1g @ $16 Grossulariaceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 53
