Retail listings 2012 by USDA zone, as of April 5 - please check for current availability Magnolia tamaulipana 'Bronze Sentinel' Fabulous early 90s discovery in the cloud forest of the Sierra Madre Oriental by the Yucca Do boys, this bold textured evergreen, to 30-40 ft x a relatively narrow 10 ft or so,-has green leaves with bronze tones that turn bronze-purple in cooler weather. White flowers appear in spring and early summer. For sun to part shade with summer moisture. Cold hardy to between 0 and 10F, USDA zone 7, possibly slightly colder. 10g @ $95 Magnoliaceae Mahonia gracilipes Peek at the leaf undersides in brilliant white and fall in love. This rare Chinese evergreen mahonia, introduced into western horticulture in 1980 by Roy Lancaster, has graceful, blue-green, compound leaves, indeed bright white on the undersides, and, in summer, sprays of pretty, delicate flowers with purple-red petals and ivory interiors. Sturdy and choice. Native to shady limestone cliffs, though it’s quite happy in garden conditions in full sun with moist soil to nearly full shade. Can reach about 6 ft high x 5 ft wide eventually. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 1g @ $19, 2g @ $19 Berberidaceae Mahonia x media 'Winter Sun' Tall, striking evergreen, to 10 ft x 7 ft but easily kept smaller. Leaves are dark green, radiating from the stem in whorls. Late fall, early winter yellow flowers are abundant in upstanding inflorescens, more frangrant than close relatives. By fall, there are black berries. Drought tolerant once established but should be watered for a season or two. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 2g @ $24 Berberidaceae Maytenus boaria 'Green Showers' Evergreen tree, to 30 ft tall and wide over time, with a weeping habit and bright green, dense foliage, the leaves finely toothed. Flowers are small but fragrant, green and star-shaped in summer, and followed by a few red berries in this femal form. Grows fastest in good garden loam, up to two feet per year. Should be watered deeply every two weeks to encourage deep roots and discourage suckering. Best without mulch. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7. 5g @ $55 Celastraceae Melicytus crassifolius A sculptural shrub in the Viola family (believe it or not!) from New Zealand. To 3’ or so with fine-tipped divaricating branches and small glossy green leaves. Each stem becomes adorned with white-pale lavender flowers followed by translucent berries. Good for architectual specimen containers and rock gardens. Reg summer water, bright light, hardy to 10 degrees. 1g @ $12 Violaceae Morus alba 'Chapparal' white mulberry We feel this is the best weeping mulberry, with filigreed leaves on weeping stems with silvery bark easily trained to 6-10 ft. Striking when allowed to spill over a structure. Quite summer drought tolerant and frost hardy to the bottom of zone 7 or even colder. Full sun to dappled shade. 5g @ $47 Moraceae Cistus Nursery ◆ 22711 NW Gillihan Rd ◆ Portland, OR 97231 ◆ (503) 621-2233 ◆ info@cistus.com 89
