Celebrating 40 years!
FALL 2008 - SPRING 2009
INTRODUCTION
It’s time again, for the annual state of the nursery address. For those of you new to our
operation, we start the catalog each season with an update on our family’s activities along
with any new business news pertaining to the nursery. Just to let you all know this is our
40 th anniversary catalog. It hardly seems possible for so many seasons to have passed by;
recently Roger was talking about what we should do on our 0 th 5
catalog! We told him
lets just handle them one at a time. This year has flown by and it seems too soon for the
weather and seasons to be changing. We have experienced an unusually cool and short
summer even by our standards. However, this cooler weather has been bringing people
out to the nursery recently. This is always the one good part about the end of the long hot
summer; it is always fun see people start thinking about planting and gardening again.
This past season has been busy, we were especially excited to help host the Willamette
Valley Hardy Plant Study Weekend this past June. The study weekend seemed genuinely
well received by all those in attendance and it was wonderful to be able to catch up with
old friends and share the garden with many new ones as well. We attended more plant
sales this spring than ever before. It is always enjoyable to meet new people from around
the region and introduce them to the plants we offer. We are constantly surprised that
after 40 years in business many people here in the northwest still don’t know we exist. So
consider it a personal favor to us, if you like what we do, please share us with your
friends. We have always relied heavily on word of mouth for the bulk of our advertising.
We are always more than happy to send catalogs to anyone who requests them and you
can always refer them to www.gosslerfarms.com. Sorry for the shameless plug!
One of the projects we have been working on this past year with Timber Press in Portland
Oregon, who approached us about writing a book on shrubs. We have been working hard
on completing the manuscript and we recently turned it over to the publisher. They are
anticipating a release date for the book of sometime in the fall of 2009. We are both
excited and anxious to see the finished product. We will keep you informed on its status
leading up to the release. We are hoping to highlight the use of shrubs in the landscape
and will discuss in detail some 200 different plants.
Another exciting event for us this year is Dawn moving to Thurston Elementary School.
This will make her commute about a half of a mile to and from work each day. This is
quite a change from 5 years ago when she was commuting 28 miles one way. The other
exciting part of the move is it will put Dawn and Pierce in the same school for one year.
This will be Pierce’s last year in elementary school before he is off to middle school.
Roger has some lectures scheduled for the fall and spring and is looking forward to
meeting some new plant groups along the way. Marj has been doing her normal summer
golf odyssey this year. She will hate us for mentioning it here, but we want to wish her a
great year. On September 14, 2008 she turns 80! She is an important part of our business

and for many of you who call us, Marj is the one you usually will reach first. People keep
asking her when she will retire and she usually responds with “what would I do any
differently.” Eric and Pierce went on a four-day float trip this June with a friend on the
John Day River in central Oregon. This was a great trip, the weather was perfect and the
company was even better. It was sleeping on the riverbank and fishing all day as you
moved down river to the next campsite. We covered a little over 50 miles during the trip.
We are especially excited about this year’s new plants; as usual we have added over 120
new items to this year’s catalog. There are too many for us to discuss here individually
however we are sure you will find many new treasures. We are offering a selection of
blueberries this year for the first time. You can purchase them individually or you can get
a package of any five for a special price. We are obtaining these from a local operation
known for supplying blueberries to countries all around the globe. They have become the
largest supplier of commercial blueberries in the United States over the last few years.
These vacciniums can be a great crossover for any garden, we use then in the landscape
as ornamentals and the fruit during the summer can be a wonderful bonus.
Every year we thank our current employees who we consider to be our friends as well as
staff. We have college kids who have worked for us come back and visit years later just
to say hi and catch up. We love to see how they are doing and are proud to have helped
them a little along the way. This year we have only two employees to thank. The first is
Lisa Sebright who helps in the office and the second is Meredith Conley who recently
graduated from the University of Oregon. Both are a joy to work with and they help the
work days go by little faster.
As always, if you are ever in our area please come visit us. We always love to share the
garden and nursery with others. If you have a group wanting to tour the garden and
nursery we can help arrange lunches and assist you in any way possible with your trip.
We hope you all have a great year and look forward to supplying your plant addictions.

FALL 2008
SPRING 2009
Indicates new plants added this year.
ABELIA FLORABUNDA - is a Mexican Abelia with
amazing vibrant pink flowers. The flowers appear in June and
are 2-3" long tubes that cover the plant. The leaves are small
and have serrated edges. Could grow in mild areas along the
coast or in California. We grow our plants in containers which
have withstood 15 F. 1 gal $ 18.00
A. MOSANENSIS - This fragrant abelia is said to be as
fragrant as a lilac. The pink buds open up to pinkish white
flowers in late spring. Grows to 4-5' tall and wide.
1 gal. $ 16.00
ABELIOPHYLLUM
A. DISTICHUM 'PINK STAR'. The plants can get 5-6' tall
and in late February the small pink flowers will cover the bare
stems. The flowers are lightly scented in that period of time
between the witch hazels and the early magnolias. We suggest
that your plant be grown with some frost protection in colder
climates. 1 gal. $ 24.00
A. DISTICHUM 'ROSEUM' - This white forsythia is
pink ! The light pink flowers appear in late February on a 5-6'
open shrub. The plant has fragrant flowers and could probably
be a good host for a small flowered clematis or an annual
vine. 1 gal. $ 15.00
ABIES
A. KOREANA 'HORSTMANN'S SILBERLOCKE' -
The Korean fir is a handsome plant on its own with weird dark
green needles that recurve to show the white undersides. This
slow grower eventually becomes a small tree but takes many
years. The cones are held upright and complete a beautiful
picture. 1 gal. $ 35.00
ACER
A. CAMPESTRE 'CARNIVAL' - The English hedge maple
is sheared and grown all over England in mixed hedges. The
species is multibranched and suckering. A. campestre
'Carnival' is a very small tree (large shrub) with small leaves
that have wide white margins. The plant looks totally white
from a distance. Our plant is grown in afternoon shade, as full
sun can cause sunburn. 1 gal. $ 28.00
A. CIRCINATUM 'MONROE' - This cut leaf vine maple
was discovered in the Cascade mountains just east of our
garden. Our 30 year old plant is 12' X 12' and looks much like
A. japonicum 'Aconitifolium'. 1 gal. $ 38.00
A. CIRCINATUM 'SUNGLOW' - One of our western
natives. This golden form of vine maple makes a large shrub
or small tree with yellow leaves through spring and early
summer followed by a yellow-peach fall color.
1 gal. $ 40.00
A. CONSPICUUM 'PHOENIX' - This striped bark maple
has brilliant red-coral new growth in the winter. The leaves
will turn yellow-orange in fall on this 30' upright small tree.
1 gal. $ 48.00
A. GRISEUM - Paperbark Maple - Perhaps the finest,
most beautiful of all small trees. Leaves are trifoliate,
beautifully colored with brilliant splashes of gold and red for
autumn. The bark splits and peels to reveal a coppery smooth
under-surface. It is rather slow growing and just becomes
more elegant with age. Native to China. We saw the
stunning huge tree collected as seed by Ernest Wilson at the
Arnold Arboretum, Boston. The main trunk is 2-3' through--
WOW! 1 gal. $ 22.00
Nursery Only 20 gal. $125.00
A. JAPONICUM 'ACONITIFOLIUM' - The 'Fernleaf
Maple' from Japan has some of the most beautiful fall color
each year. This plant grows artistically to 15-20'. The leaves
are deeply cut almost to the petiole. The medium green leaves
turn beautiful yellow, orange, and red in the fall.
1 gal. $ 40.00
A. MACROPHYLLUM - For those that have 1/2 acre
for one tree, our native bigleaf maple is just what you want. A.
macrophyllum U.S. native to most areas of western America
and has leaves that can be one foot across. This fast grower
will make shade quickly but isn't good to grow lawn under
because it is too dark. In the correct spot it is a wonderful tree.
1 gal. $ 15.00
A. MACROPHYLLUM 'MOCHA ROSE' - This form
has lovely chocolate pink leaves in spring to early summer.
This plant will eventually become a large tree but may take a
long time. The new growth is a handsome change from the
normal green 3 gal. $ 45.00
A. MAXIOMIXIANUM (NIKKOENSE). This hardy
trifoliate maple is similar to Acer griseum but doesn't have the
peeling bark. The bark on A. maxiomixianum is soft gray.
The fall color is brilliant orange, red and yellow.
2 gal. $ 48.00
A. PALMATUM 'BENI SCHICHIHENGE' - This
maple has an upright growth to 10-12' tall. The variegated
leaves will have coral margins in spring turning creamy-pink
in summer. The plant will look lovely brightening up a quiet
corner of the garden. 2 gal. $ 45.00
A. PALMATUM 'FAIRY HAIR' comes to us from
plantsman Talon Buchholz. We had A. 'Fairy Hair' two years
ago and sold out very quickly because of the hairlike leaves.
The maple leaf is so fine it's almost hard to imagine it's a
maple. This plant makes an excellent container specimen or a
good plant for the rock garden. 1 gal. $ 85.00
A. PALMATUM 'FIRST GHOST' has white mid ribs on
the leaves that darken to deep green at the margins. This
Talon Buchholz selection makes an attractive small tree.
1 gal. $ 42.00
A. PALMATUM 'GEISHA' is a small growing Japanese
maple which has lovely pink new growth in spring. The new
growth is spotted with green and peachy colored highlights.
There will be color throughout the summer on the leaves
making a long lasting event all summer.
1 gal. $ 35.00
A. PALMATUM 'MOONFIRE' is a moderate (20')
purple leafed Japanese maple. The deep purple new growth
fades a little, but will stay a good purple all summer. Fall
color will be bright red. 1 gal. $ 35.00
A. PALMATUM 'ORENGOLA ' has new growth that
is orange red in spring. The foliage will turn deep purple later
in the season with the sporadic new orange growth will make a
nice combination. The dissected leaves will turn red in the

fall. Depending on training, the plant can get 2' tall or up to 6'
tall. 2 gal. $44.00
A. PALMATUM 'PIXIE' - This is a Talon Buchholz
selection that is a dense shrub form. Our young plants seem to
be vigorous, but will fill out soon. The foliage is dark purple
even late in the summer. Would be beautiful in the garden or
large container. 5 gal. $ 65.00
A. PALMATUM 'PURPLE GHOST' - Deep purple veins
are almost black. The leaves change throughout purple to
almost pink at the margins. By late summer the leaves are
almost totally purple. This ghost will grow in full sun or semishade.
1 gal. $ 42.00
ACER PALMATUM 'RED DRAGON'. This maple came
to us indirectly from Duncan & Davies in New Zealand. The
dissected leaves are darker red than A. 'Crimson Queen' and
hold the color later into the summer. This lace leaf will turn a
smaller mound shaped form than A. p. 'Crimson Queen'.
Great red fall foliage in October. 2 gal. $ 45.00
A. PALMATUM 'SANGO KAKU'- The Coral Bark
Maple is a plant we always get calls for. This stunning upright
Japanese Maple will have brilliant coral-red stems fall-spring.
The green foliage will turn yellow in the fall.
1 gal. $ 35.00
A. PALMATUM 'SHISHIGASHIRA' - Lions Mane
Maple has small deep green leaves that are twisted and
crimped at their margins. The leaves will form clumps on the
plant making an artistic effect. In fall the foliage turns deep
yellow-orange. Our 40 year old plant is 15' X 8' without any
pruning. 2 gal. $ 45.00
A. PALMATUM 'SKEETERS BROOM'. This plant is a
sport of A. p. 'Bloodgood' which will get 4-5' tall rather than
the 20' of A. p. 'Bloodgood. The bright red new growth will
turn purple later in the summer. In fall the foliage will turn
beautiful red. 1 gal. $ 45.00
A. PALMATUM 'UKIGUMO' - Truly a stunning foliage
plant. The plant has green leaves when young. As the plant
matures growth slows, the leaves become spotted with white.
Later the leaves become mostly white and from a distance it
looks like a white shrub or small tree. Seems to be best in
more shade than less. 2 gal. $ 60.00
A. PENNSYLVANICUM 'ERYTHROCLADUM' - The
"Moosewood" is a striped bark maple from Pennsylvania
similar to Acer davidii, hersi, etc. The main difference is that
A. p. 'Erythrocladum' has startling brilliant red bark in winter.
A. 'Erythrocladum' is still a rare tree because of its slow
growth and difficulty of grafting. 1 gal. $ 45.00
A. PSEUDOPLATANUS 'ESK SUNSET' - (formerly
A. 'Eskimo Sunset') This moderate 20' tree has simply
stunning foliage. The maple leaves are dark purple underneath
and are deep green splashed with white and pink above. In the
sun the leaves absolutely glow with the purple and pink. An
A. 'Esk Sunset' is always a conversation piece.
2 gal. $ 78.00
A. RUFINERVE ERYTHROCLADUM - This fine
striped bark maple is different than A. penn. 'Erythroclaum' so
don't be confused. We were able to find a small number.
Plants seem to be bushy and full to maybe 20-25'. We rarely
get this plant as our propagator says it maybe has a 5% success
at grafting. 2 gal. $ 50.00

2
A. SHIRASAWANUM 'AUREUM' - This gorgeous
maple has golden foliage all summer. In the fall the leaf is

Large sizes available up to 8' at nursery only.
A. SHIRASAWANUM 'AUTUMN MOON' - Similar to
A. s. 'Aureum' but this small tree has handsome pinkish
accents on the new foliage. The accents seem to hold most of
the summer and turn a beautiful gold in the fall.
1 gal. $ 46.00
ACTEA 'HILLSIDE BLACK BEAUTY' - This dark
purple foliaged bug bane will make a clump 18" tall and 24"
wide shrub. The flowers appear on 4' stems in late summer.

for the woodland garden or perennial boarder.
1 gal. $ 14.00

shrubby plant with very dissected narrow leaves of a chestnut.
We don't know how big the plants will be but they are
extremely slow in containers. Very limited availability.
1 gal. $ 44.00
AGAPANTHUS
A. 'ELLAMAE' - This is said to be one of the largest
growing of the agapanthus. The deep blue flowers are in
umbles in late July and will make a beautiful bridge from the
mid summer to the late summer flowers. From our growing
these agapanthus for many years, they will defoliate most
winters and will survive down to 5° F.
1 gal. $ 14.00
A. 'GAYLE'S LILAC' - is a low growing agapanthus
that attracts attention each July-August. This baby blue
flowered plant blooms heavily on 1' stems. A. Gayle's Lilac
makes a good container plant or a sunny boarder.
1 gal. $ 14.00
A. 'GRAS KOP'- This selection of A. inapertus has
deep blue pendulous flowers in midsummer. This plant was
named and introduced by the Kirstenbosch Botanic Garden in
South Africa. We don't know the hardiness yet but this plant
would make an excellent container plant or plant for the
milder garden. 1 gal. $ 14.00
A. 'STORMCLOUD '- According to Wim Snoeijer's
book, this plant no longer exists, but whatever this excellent
plant is named, it is a keeper. The rich navy blue flowers
appear on 2' stems in August. We have grown A. 'Stormcloud'
for 20 years and it has been consistently hardy (0 F) and
beautiful. 1 gal. $ 12.00
AGAVE
A. 'JAWS' - This Agave makes a superb container plant
in cooler climates. Its biggest need is for a very fast draining
soil. 1 gal. $ 18.00
A. PARRYI 'HUACHENSIS' - will make a rounded
clump of gray-green leaves. This high elevation native to
Mexico makes a great container plant. 1 gal. $ 15.00

form an upright rounded plant with an amazing architectural
form. Perfect for a container. We grow our agaves under the
eaves of Marj's house year round. 1 gal. .$ 15.00

ALBIZZIA 'SUMMER CHOCOLATE' - The Silk
Tree is a broad growing tree with pinnate leaves. The pink
clouds of flowers appear in midsummer. This cultivar has
deep purple pinnate leaves all summer. We don't know how
large A 'Summer Chocolate' will get, but even a small plant is
very handsome, whether in the garden or a large container.
Limited 2 gal. $ 38.00
ANDROMEDA
A. 'BLUE ICE' - has narrow, dusty blue foliage on a 1'
tall plant that will grow to 2' wide. The flowers are little white
urns that cover the plant in April. Needs good drainage and
full sun to semi-shade. 1 gal. $ 14.00

thinner than A. 'Blue Ice.' The flowers are light pink in April-
May. Makes a good ground cover around rhododendrons.
1 gal. $ 14.00

Southern Chile has very sharp, pointed needles. This
interesting plant is rarely offered for sale. These are small but
well rooted plants. 1 gal. $ 30.00
ARBUTUS
A. 'MARINA' - This garden worthy madrone is probably
a cross of two European species of arbutus. The stems peel to
reveal the orange-copper bark. A. 'Marina' needs good
drainage and a moderate climate, such as coastal condition of
Northwest or California. We once saw a big plant at the
Victor Reiter, Jr. garden in San Francisco and it was a
stunning tree. 1 gal. $ 25.00
A. UNEDO COMPACTA - 10' shrub that will have

boxwood that we have grown for years in our garden. Our
plant is 18" tall after 15 years. The plant is as upright
pyramidal form. The leaves are about 1/2 the size of B
sempervirens. B. 'John Baldwin' would make a small formal
hedge or a small specimen for the garden.
1 gal. $ 8.00
B. 'WATERFALL' - As the name implies, this dark
green boxwood is a semi weeping form which could be staked
up or allowed to irregularly grow to 3-4'. Would be nice
falling over and around a large rock or wall.

one-half wide that have cantaloupe fragrance.
1 gal. $ 28.00

Calycanthus (then sinocalycanthus) chinensis with C. flordus
and created a real winner. The rich purple flowers are 2"

Calycanthus 'Hartlage Wine' cont.

become a 10' shrub with purple Magnolia Stellata looking
flowers for a long period in summer.
1 gal. $ 28.00
C. 'VENUS' - A hybrid of C. chinensis and C. 'Athens.'
The white flowers have a purplish red blush in the center. We

CAMELLIA All of our camellias are grown from our own
stock plants so have no problem from diseases.

are the deepest black maroon. The flowers are single and
really show up against the glossy foliage.
1 gal. $ 24.00
C. 'BOB'S TINSIE' - We don't know who Bob is, but
whoever he is he had a neat camellia named for him. Our
plant grows in full sun most of the day and is 8' X 2' with deep
green oval foliage. The deep red flowers are about 3" across
and have a large central base of red stamens. We enjoy this
camellia all year for its glossy foliage and red flowers.
1 gal. $ 24.00
C. JAPONICA 'UNRYU' - This fun camellia grows
upright to possibly 6'. The foliage is typical C. japonica and
the flowers are light red in early spring. However the main
reason to grow C. j. 'Unryu' is for the contorted stems. The
stems twist at 45° angles, which makes an interesting form.
1 gal. $ 20.00
C. WILLIAMSII 'ANTICIPATION' Similar to C.
'Donation' but much showier large 6" ruffled deep pink
flowers. C. 'Anticipation' is a more upright and robust grower

We have sold 'Jury's Yellow' off and on for years and we
regularly get compliments on its beauty from customers.
1 gal. $ 24.00
C. WILLIAMSII 'NIGHT RIDER' We hope we have
enough of this beautiful foliage plant. It's flowers are small (1
1/2") and are deep purple but it's the deep purple foliage in the
spring-summer. Our 'Night Rider' is only 4' tall after 15 years
and would make a handsome container plant. When we've had
plants of C. 'Night Rider' available in the nursery or at sales
they always sell out. 1 gal. $ 24.00
5
C. WILLIAMSII 'WATERLILY' is an upright growing
camellia with deep pink flowers. The individual flowers are
different than any other camellia we've seen. The center petals
hold together so we don't see the stamens. The cup shaped
semi-double petals make an interesting looking flower.
1 gal. $ 24.00

flowers. The stamens are rich egg yolk yellow in late spring.
1 gal. $ 24.00
CARPINUS BETULUS COLUMNUS 'NANA' - We
normally wouldn't be growing or selling a hornbeam but this

you. C.b. columnus 'Nana' will get 8'-10' after 15 years and has
a tight columnar form. The plant feels as if it had been
sheared. The deep green leaves turn a nice medium yellow in
the fall. The plant makes a handsome focal point in the border

will get 30-40', so not for the small garden but an incredible
tree for the large garden or park. 2 gal. $ 45.00
C. 'HERONSWOOD GLOBE'. Chosen by Dan Hinkley

sweet scent. 5 gal. $ 55.00

C. JAPONICUM 'ROTFUCHS' - We are happy to be
able to offer this exciting Katsura tree with purple new growth.

wild colored. C. 'Cameo' has very soft colored flowers that
can combine with other plants. 1 gal. $ 16.00

flowers in early spring. This moderate sized plant will make a
lovely display in a spring garden. 1 gal. $ 16.00

though the individual flowers are small there are lots of
flowers on the stems. 1 gal. $ 16.00
C. 'HOLLANDIA' - We have a few of this excellent
flowering quince. We first saw this red flowering quince on

grow our plant on our rough board fence in full sun.
1 gal. $ 22.00

plant. We recommend having very sharp drainage in either a
container or garden setting. 1 gal. $ 15.00
C. NOOTKATENSIS 'VAN DEN AKKER' - This false
cypress is supposed to be even narrower than C. n. 'Green
Arrow'. Haven't seen a mature plant but 'Green Arrow' is

plant a year round shrub for much of the country (very hardy).
1 gal. $ 17.00

flowers? The light green foliage has a broad, creamy edge.

C. SANGUINEA 'COMPRESSA' - According to Paul
Cappiello and Don Shadow's Dogwood book, this is a,
"Bizarre little upright plant... without a doubt this is a plant
geeks plant." I'm glad I'm a plant geek! The upright growth to

exclamation point to add height to the border. The leaves
literally grow one on top of the other.
1 gal. $ 30.00

plant to 18" each year. It immediately regrows to 5' each
summer. Would be a good foil for golden flowers in a
perennial border. 1 gal. $ 17.00

dark stems that bend and twist to form an unusual shrub up to
6-7'. The corokias make excellent container subjects. Hardy

doesn't flower, but our plants are covered with yellow flowers
in spring. 1 gal. $ 14.00

yellow flowers in early March. We only have a few plants
available this year. 1 gal. $ 24.00

new growth until mid-July. 1 gal. $ 22.00
CORYLUS 'RED MAJESTIC' . This is a new cultivar of
Harry Lauder's Walking Stick from Europe. The plant is
contorted everywhere (We haven't checked the roots yet.).

offerings of C. 'Red Majestic' . 1 gal. $24.00
COTINUS
C. 'GOLDEN SPIRIT' - We were first attracted to C.
'Golden Spirit' through English magazines, but couldn't find it
in the U.S. We started seeing a few plants in public gardens
by 2001. I finally found a source in 2001. The foliage is
round and smaller than many of the C. coggygria cultivars.
The distinctive difference is the golden color of the foliage
which is consistent spring-fall. This plant should be great used
in a border with greens and yellows or rich purples.
1 gal. $ 22.00
C. 'GRACE' is one of our best discoveries. We first listed
C. 'Grace' in 1993, and are still impressed with how great this
shrub can be. We got this Hillier named hybrid in the mid
1980's as a one foot cutting. Our original plant is cut back
hard each spring to 6' and by the end of the season is 12-14'
high. The large mid purple leaves are pretty all summer, and
by fall they turn the most amazing pink, red, orange and
purple. As a cut back plant we get only a few flowers (no
great loss) but the foliage is superb.
1 gal. $ 22.00
C. 'ROYAL PURPLE' - This smoke bush is the
standard cultivar available through the nursery industry. The
oval, deep purple leaves cover the plant and can make an

are large puffs of fertile florets during summer, making smoke
above the foliage. 1 gal. $ 20.00
C. 'YOUNG LADY' ® - This green leafed C. coggygria
has many large clusters of flowers (smoke) even on 6 inch
plants. Discovered by Hendrick Kolster of Boskoop, Holland.
The green leaves have orange-red fall color. The plant
probably will not get over
$ 24.00
8-10 feet because of the heavy
flower production. Limited 1 gal. $ 24.00
C. OBOVATUS - is our eastern native smoke bush. We
were at Jane Platt's Portland garden many years ago to see her
20' tree with stunning pink fall color. The oval foliage is 8"-
10" long and 2" wide and will have a pinkish blush in spring,
light green summer color and the unusual pink fall color. C.
obovatus is the larger parent of the superb C. 'Grace.'
1 gal. $ 26.00

COTONEASTER COOPERI. A very low growing
cotoneaster that will mound up to about 3-4" tall. If a rock is
in the way C. cooperi will follow the shape of the stone. The
evergreen leaves are really tiny and deep green. Great as a
container plant or even the smallest rock garden. The white
flowers will be followed by rich red fruit like rubies among the
green foliage. 1 gal. $ 8.00
CRINODENDRON HOOKERANIUM - Strawberries in
midsummer on as evergreen shrub. Well at least that is what it
looks like. C. hookeranium is from southern Chile and will
make a 20' broad evergreen shrub with narrow deep green
leaves. In July, the strawberry shaped flowers cover the plant.
This superb plant can be grown from the central California

C 'STAR OF THE EAST' - Perhaps the biggest flower of
any crocosmia. This crocosmia has wonderful lively yellow
flowers that are 2" across with an almost white center. The

CUNNINGHAMIA LANCEOLATA 'GLAUCA'. The blue
needled China fir is always a show stopper in any garden.
This large conifer has needles that twist as they come out of

CYTISUS BATTANDIERI - The Pineapple Broom comes
from Morocco, but has been hardy for 30+ years in Eugene,
OR, hardy to -12° F. If given full sun and good drainage this

DAPHNE -
D. BHOLUA - Our original plants came from Marshall
Olbrich (Western Hills Nsy). This is the largest daphne in

container plants start blooming at Thanksgiving and finish in
March. Pleasing, sweet daphne fragrance.
1 gal. $ 22.00
D. 'ETERNAL FRAGRANCE' (D. caucasica x D.
collina) According to Robin White this plant is probably the
same cross as D.'Jim's Pride.' The plant will flower in April

through summer and into fall. The plant will grow to 2' and
make a great plant in sun and good drainage.

spring with a pleasing scent. Although amazingly rare, we
have a good supply this year.. 2 gal. $ 45.00
D. 'JIM'S PRIDE' (formerly caucasica) - This is one of
our favorite daphnes because of its overwhelming bloom
season. The fragrant flowers first open in April and finish most
years in late October. I can't think of any plant that will bloom
that long. The white flowers are fairly small but cover the
plant and makes a great display. Named for the late Jim Cross
of Environmental's Nursery, Long Island, NY.
1 gal. $ 22.00
D. LONGILOBATA is a 4'-5' daphne with whitishgreen
flowers through the spring and summer. For us, the large
red fruit are much showier than the flowers. Rarely available
and probably slightly tender, but worth growing for the fruit.

D. MEZEREUM - Rough, tough, hardy, but still beautiful.
This is probably the hardiest daphne in cultivation. Grows
better in Eastern Washington than in our garden. The purple

the best fragrance of any shrub. The small purple and white
flowers appear in February - April and the scent can be noticed
20 feet away. Makes an evergreen shrub with golden
margins on the foliage. Can be kept in a large container.
1 gal. $ 18.00

D. ODORA 'MAE JIMA'. A Japanese selection of this
standard of northwest landscapes. D. o. 'Mae Jima' has the
same coloring and margins of D. o. 'Aureomarginata', but the
margins are drastically wider. This daphne will bloom as
much as D. o. 'Aureomarginata,' but will be much more
striking year round. We haven't seen this daphne listed before
so get this new plant for your garden.
2 gal. $ 35.00
D. ODORA 'ZUIKO NISHIKI ' - The deep pink flower
buds open to pure white inside the flowers. We have read that
D. 'Zuiko Nishiki' is hardier than other forms of D. odora. Any
clones of D. odora have an unbelievable scent to the flowers.
2 gal. $ 28.00
D. RETUSA - This shrub is a very rigid, little gnome of a
plant. The fat short stems grow slowly into an 18" rounded
shrublet. The flowers are sweetly scented and are purple
outside and white inside. Needs good drainage and plenty of
light. Since D. retusa is slow growing the plants for sale are
small. 1 gal. $ 20.00
D. ROSETTII - (D. cneorum X D laureola, subsp.
philippi). Found in 1927, this natural hybrid comes from
Pyrenees. The reddish flowers are rarely produced but the

When grown if full sun and good drainage, this plant is a real
show stopper. 2 gal. $ 28.00
DAVIDIA
D. INVOLUCRATA 'COLUMNARIUS'. This dove tree
is a rather narrow grower. The foliage is typical dove tree, but
the plant stays very columnar. We don't know how soon these
plants will take to bloom but being grafted they will usually
bloom at a younger age than seed grown plants.
2 gal. $ 60.00
D. INVOLUCRATA 'SONOMA' - This flowering dove
tree came from Sonoma Horticultural Nursery. The original
tree had exceptional bracts and luckily the owners got it out
into the nursery business. Bracts are 8-10" long and the
grafted plants will bloom at 18 inches tall. Any of the plants
we are selling can bloom next May. Because of the grafting
and scarcity these plants are limited and high priced
1 gal. $ 75.00
D. 'LADY SUNSHINE' - Talk about a show stopper!
People see this plant and literally have their breath taken away.
The foliage is the typical jagged edge of Davidia involucrata,

and of course wanted the plant. Davidia 'Lady Sunshine'
needs filtered or afternoon shade.

during summer and in late August starts turning purple and all
through the fall just keeps getting better. Disanthus
cercidifolius is a member of the hamamelis family and has
very small, deep maroon flowers in fall. Has been hardy to at
least -20° F. in Illinois. See Michael Dirr's "Manual of Woody
Landscape Plants". Disanthus is one of his favorites.
1 gal. $ 22.00
DISPORUM 'NIGHT HERON'. Will get 5-6' tall and has
deep purple new growth in spring. The flowers are small
white bells in mid spring. D. 'Night Heron' is a good

in more protected areas than in our garden. Flowers are small
and white but make a nice show on the plant.
2 gal. $ 25.00
D. LANCEOLATA 'SUZETTE' is just like D. lanceolata
with its deep green leaves, dark purple stems, and white
flowers. The only difference is that the dark green leaves are
splashed with cream and pink year round D. lancelata 'Suzette'
will make a pretty and interesting tub specimen.
1 gal $20.00
EDGEWORTHIA
E. CHRYSANTHA - Edgeworthia chrysantha is a golden
yellow daphne relative. The flowers are double the size of E.
papyrifera and are pleasantly fragrant. In summer the plant
looks tropical with its large, dark green leaves. Has been
hardy to 0° F several times but our best plants have some wind
protection. 1 gal. $ 25.00
E. PAPYRIFERA is the smaller of the two species we
grow, but is still a pretty plant. The flowers are the same as E.
chrysantha except in size and lack of fragrance. E. papyrifera
is a much smaller plant so will be more adapted to a smaller
garden. E. papyrifera seems to need some shelter from
evergreens, a wall or a house to give just slightly more
protection from the winds. 1 gal. $ 27.00
E. PAPYRIFERA 'RED DRAGON' - Very limited,
this plant is always in demand but is so tricky to propagate, so
very few nurseries will make the effort. The red (tomato soup)
flowers appear in clusters just like the yellow flowering E.
papyrifera in early spring. We have found E. p. 'Red Dragon' is
more tender than E. papyrifera. We grow our 4'x4' plant in
morning sun in a protected place next to Eric and Dawn's
house. Only 1 per customer. 1 gal. $ 45.00

little water. 1 gal. $ 18.00
ELEUTHEROCOCCUS SIEB. 'VARIEGATUS'-
Formerly Acanthapanax sieboldianus 'Variegatus'. This
variegated shrub is almost a wonder plant because it will grow
in Chicago as well as northern Florida. Eleutherococcus
grows in almost full sun as well as deep shade. Our plant
grows under a huge red oak in full day shade and thrives. The
white margined leaves almost glow out from the shade. This
plant has so little green for chlorophyll it is very slow
growing. 1 gal. $ 30.00
ENKIANTHUS
E. 'AKATUKI' - This enkianthus has medium pink
flowers in April - May. The thing we notice is its great vigor.
the dark green foliage turns brilliant red in fall.

the larger hybrids. The fall foliage color is brilliant red on an
8-10' shrub. 1 gal. $ 22.00
E. CAMPANULATUS 'SIKOKIANUS' - The largest
growing of the E. campanulatus cultivars we grow. This
upright grower grows fast and has large deep green leaves that
turn deep maroon-red and have pink markings on them.
1 gal. $ 22.00
E. CAMPANULATUS 'VARIEGATUS' -
E. campanulatus 'Variegatus' has small green leaves with
creamy white margins. We don't think the plant will get much
more that 3-4' tall. Haven't seen many flowers on our plants,
but the main use is for the variegated foliage. The plant will
need to be grown in at least partial shade.
2 gal. $ 28.00
E. PERRULATUS - This is the true species from Japan,
not the inferior plant sold most of the time. Our 40 year old
plant is 4'x4' and is full to the ground with small deep green
leaves all summer. In fall, the plant is afire with its red leaves.
The flowers are small pink-white urns in May. The flowers are
different than any other enkianthus so its hard to believe some
nurseries get confused! 1 gal. $ 30.00
EPIMEDIUM -
E. FROLEITHIN - Brilliant golden yellow flowers on
stems up to 12" tall. The evergreen foliage holds up well
during most winters, but we take hedge shears to the plants in
January-February. One of the most vigorous growers in the
garden. 1 gal. $ 14.00

flowers in spring. The slowly spreading woodlander is a good
companion for ferns, spring bulbs and other woodlanders.

has large white spurred flowers in early spring. For us this is
the best of the white flowering epimediums. A great plant to
grow with omphaloides and other small woodland charmers.
1 gal. $ 18.00
E. RUBRUM - This variety of epimedium has medium
red flowers in spring. When we pick up the flower and look
close there is a yellow stripe surrounded by the red. Still a
good garden plant even though it's been grown a long time.
1 gal. $ 10.00
E. SULPHUREUM - This soft yellow flowering
epimedium forms handsome clumps in the garden. We've had
E. sulphureum in our garden for years, and we have finally
divided our plants so we can make it available.

open to crenulated white flowers. Would be a nice plant to
cascade over a retaining wall.
2 gal. $ 17.00

FORSYTHIA
F. 'GOLDEN PEEP' - (COR DIJAN P 13,050). This
dwarf plant is totally covered with brilliant yellow flowers. If
you don't have room for a full sized forsythia in your garden,
try this plant in the garden or container.

forsythia from France will get 2'-3' tall. Bright yellow
flowers in early spring make this dwarf a real stunner. Doesn't
need constant pruning to keep it in scale.
1 gal. $ 10.00

6' tall and has typical forsythia flowers. But the flowers are
the least of F. 'Kumson's' attributes. The foliage is dark green

nursery to carry this fine cultivar. Strange, because of its
great attributes. Fothergilla gardenii 'Jane Platt' is a very low
growing shrub and is the smallest fothergilla we grow (18-24
inches in 15 years). The fall color is brilliant orange, red, and

LIRIOPE 'PAMELA HARPER' We don't know if this
plant was found by Pamela, but it was named for her. The 3-
4" tall green plant has creamy white stripes through the
foliage. We have a patch that has very slowly spread to 2'
after 5-6 years. Seems to grow well in the cooler Northwest
whereas many liriopes will sulk.
1 gal. $ 12.00
LOMATIA MYRACOIDES - This rarely grown
evergreen shrub comes from Australia. The Grivellia relative
should be tender but our plant has withstood 0F. The narrow
foliage has jagged margins. The white flowers show up in
small clusters with a vanilla scent in July and August. Note:
Use NO chemical fertilizer, the plant will turn black and die
within days. We found out the hard way.
1 gal. $ 18.00
LONICERA
L. FRAGRANTISSIMA - This Chinese native has small,
white honeysuckle flowers during January and February. We
didn't think much of L. fragrantissima until our plants got 3'-4'
tall. All of a sudden the plants are covered with creamy-white
fragrant flowers that can be detected from 50' away. A good
plant to grow with Clematis viticella cultivars to have summer
interest. 1 gal. $ 14.00
L. NITIDA 'TWIGGY' - An 18" shrublet with tiny green
to goldish foliage. One year old plants will only be 4" x 4".
L. nitida 'Twiggy' looks like a very tiny version of L.
'Baggesens Gold', but much greener foliage.
1 gal. $ 14.00
LOROPETALUM CHINENSE 'SIZZLING PINK' - This
witchazel relative is an evergreen with deep purple foliage
(ever purple?). The small flowers are narrow straps like a
hamamelis, but are hot pink. Makes an excellent container
specimen. We are borderline for hardiness. We have seen the
species in Aiken, SC, as a 30' tree. With our cool summers the
biggest plant we've seen here is 10' 2 gal. $ 20.00

can be over 12" wide. 1 gal. $ 65.00
MAGNOLIA 'BURNCOOSE' - Has some of the most
incredible flowers of any magnolia. First saw this plant at the

'Caerhays Belle', but are several shades darker.
1 gal. $ 65.00

favorite large flowering hybrid. M. 'Caerhays Belle' is a
hybrid of M. sargentiana 'Robusta' X M. sprengeri 'Diva'
crossed and named at Caerhays Castle in Cornwall, England.
The large, cup-shaped flowers are the richest pink imaginable.

medium pink fading to light pink and look like cattlyea
orchids in the tree. M. dawsoniana 'Clarke' is generally agreed
to be the finest cultivar of M. dawsoniana available.
2 gal. $ 75.00

MAGNOLIA 'DAYBREAK'- M. 'Woodsman' X 'Tina
Durio'- One of August Kehr's best hybrids. It's wild to think
that M. 'Woodsman' with its purple green and yellowish color
could produce this lovely deep pink hybrid. This quick grower
will grow well in many parts of the country.
1 gal. $ 60.00
2 gal. $ 75.00

'BRACKENS BROWN BEAUTY' - This clone
discovered in South Carolina by Ray Bracken has withstood
-20F. The plants we have seen are perhaps 20'x 8' and have
rich brown indumentum. We have wanted to list M. 'Brackens
Brown Beauty' but they were only available as 8'-10'
specimens, so we are excited to have 12"-18" one gallon size.

M. SIEBOLDII - Our most recommended magnolia,
especially for the small garden. This excellent large shrubsmall

white with red stamens. The pendant flowers are followed by
brilliant pink seed pods like little lanterns. Overall, one of the
most beautiful plants we grow. 1 gal. $ 22.00
M. SIEBOLDII 'COLOSSUS' - This form is a chemically
induced form of M. sieboldii. We first found plants spring of
'06. Many of the plants bloomed with much larger white
flowers than the species. The big difference we've seen so far
is the much larger oval leaves. We think M. sieboldii
'Colossus' will be a much larger shrub or small tree than M.
sieboldii. 2 gal. $ 75.00
MAGNOLIA SOULANGIANA
M. s. 'COATES' - We were thrilled to see two pictures of
our named hybrid in Jim Gardner's Magnolias. We named this
excellent plant for the Leonard Coates Nursery in San Jose,
CA. M. soulangiana 'Coates' is a seedling of M. s. 'Rustica
Rubra' but has a softer, more attractive purple flower. This is
an excellent magnolia for a number of different climates.
1 gal. $ 35.00
M. s. 'GRACE MC DADE' has gigantic pink flowers in
March. The flowers are so huge they look almost like you tied
fake flowers on. That's not anything against the flowers as

magnolia to 30' X15'. The dark green foliage is nice all

'CHRYSANTHUMUMIFLORA'. This small full
growing star magnolia has an upright form. The flowers are
soft pink and fully double. The tepals are smaller and lighter
color than M. s. 'Jane Platt'. M. s. 'Chrysanthimumiflora' is a
good choice for a small area. 2 gal. $ 50.00
'ROSEA JANE PLATT' - We named this excellent plant
for the late Jane Platt of Portland, OR. Mrs. Platt had grown
M. stellata 'Rosea' for years. We took cuttings and decided it
was a superior clone and asked Jane what to name it. She
jokingly said, "How about Jane Platt?" We did and
shocked her. The more we watch this plant the better we like
it. We think M. stellata 'Jane Platt' and Fothergilla gardenii
'Jane Platt' are fitting tributes to a great friend and gardener.
It has been given an Award of Merit by the Royal
Horticultural Society. 2 gal. $ 65.00

'ROYAL STAR' - A seedling selection of 'Waterlily'

MAGNOLIA THOMPSONIANA - The first hybrid
magnolia. Thought to be a natural hybrid of M. tripetala and

12" across in March. 2 gal. $ 65.00
MAGNOLIA 'WADA'S MEMORY' - We have a hard time
keeping up with demand for M. 'Wada's Memory'. M. 'Wada's
Memory' is a classy plant for all its merits. The young tree is
very upright with bronze new growth and dark green leaves
during summer. The white flowers appear in March by the
hundreds, if not thousands. The individual flower is not that
wonderful but with so many they make a grand display. M.
'Wada's Memory' is well adapted to both cold and warm areas.
1 gal. $ 35.00
MAGNOLIA WILSONII - We sold this beautiful tree for
years but we were buying cuttings from a very good
propagator. When their nursery closed we couldn't get anyone
to root them. We finally got seed and grew them. The white
flowers have red stamens in late April - June. The 6" flowers
are pendant like M. sieboldii but M. wilsonii becomes a 30'
tree. Don't recommend for the southeast or California, but in
the northwest M. wilsonii is one of the best summer bloomers.
1 gal. $ 30.00
MAGNOLIA 'WOODSMAN' - One of my least favorite
magnolias. The tree itself is very handsome. The flowers are
attractive in form, but the colors are wild pink, purple, green,
and brownish. Almost everyone else likes the colors, so make
your own decision. 1 gal. $ 50.00
MAGNOLIA 'YELLOW BIRD' has deep yellow small sized

M. 'CHARITY' - One of the M. media hybrids (japonica
x lomarifolia). One of our finest winter (actually year round)
shrubs. The evergreen foliage gets up to 18" long and 12"
wide. Our big plants of the media hybrids are 12' tall and
make an architectural form. The flowers begin to show color
(bright yellow) in late November and continue until February.
The fruit turns bluish-purple in late spring. When the birds
discover the fruit they immediately devour them.
1 gal. $ 30.00
M. 'UNDERWAY' -This M. media hybrid has more cut
leaves than some of the other forms. The flowers are the
typical bright yellow in mid winter. This hybrid mahonia is
much more difficult to find in the trade so we are happy to be
able to list it. 2 gal. $ 35.00
MELIANTHUS MAJOR 'ANTONOW'S BLUE' -
The honey shrub comes to us from South Africa. We have
grown seedlings in our garden for years. Even though we

plant freezes to the ground but will resprout from the
rootstock. The leaves are pinnate and can get 18" long. Our
plants get larger each year- 4'-5' tall. The best foliage is in
October when there has been rain and the raindrops look like
mercury on the rich blue waxy leaves. M. major 'Antonow's
Blue' comes from the late Steve Antonow Garden in Seattle
and has lovely, rich blue leaves and sometimes (in a very mild
winter) will have odd purple flowers on 8' stems.

almost black, stems in winter. 3 gal. $ 50.00

M . g. 'GOLD RUSH' - This dawn redwood is distinctive
because its needles are rich yellow all summer. This
deciduous tree was a sport from Metasequoia glyptostroboides
found in China during the 1940's. Can grow in moist soil and
makes a soft backdrop of yellow behind other conifers.

O. 'San Jose' will make a superb hedge.
1 gal. $ 15.00
O. 'SASABA' - Even though these plants are small we are
offering them because we think O. 'Sasaba' is an outstanding
plant. The sharply pointed evergreen leaves look somewhat

Dawn's front window (bad placement). The plants are very
happy in full sun with lots of water. We see plants in
California with low water, but color seems to fade. Superb
container plants in areas that get colder. Just move into

P. 'SUMMER WINE' - P. 'SEWARD' PPAF - This
purple (more purple-bronze) foliaged nine bark has leaves
more divided than P. 'Diablo'. This plant is much smaller (3')
than P. 'Diablo', so can grow in even small perennial or shrub
borders. Flowers are pinkish white in early summer.
1 gal. $ 15.00
PICEA GLAUCA 'GNOME' is a very small Alberta
spruce. We have seen the species 16'-18' tall after many years.

conifer for the rock garden or container.
1 gal. $ 14.00
PIERIS
P. 'FLAMING SILVER' - It's interesting to see plants we
have introduced to the U.S. gardening community become
more widely available. We first grew P. 'Flaming Silver' in

variegated evergreen foliage. Very limited number of flowers.
Our 25 year old plant is 2' tall. 1 gal. $ 16.00
P.'LITTLE HEATH' - This wonderful smallish shrub has
small green foliage with a cream margin. We say smallish
because we originally read it could get 2' tall. Our plant is

only sporadically each spring! Makes an attractive sort of
bonsai effect as it ages. 1 gal. $ 16.00

Chinese native large shrub or small tree has the most
amazingly different leaves. The oak leaves don't look like any

seen plants in several gardens in the Northwest.

when the plant gets large. Our 15 year old plant is 8-10' tall

10+ years for R. macabeanum to bloom, so the foliage is all
important. R. macabeanum is hardy to about 5-10° F., but

seen any pests on R. pomifera. 2 gal. $ 22.00

grayish white from a distance. Can grow in moist soil or well
drained soil. The plants are small but well worth the price.
1 gal. $ 18.00

elderberry has white variegation that can totally engulf the
leaves. The overall effect is of a white foliaged plant. There
are no flowers to speak of. 1 gal. $15.00
SARCOCOCCA HOOKERIANA 'HUMILUS' - We
always get calls for this shrubby ground cover. It is very nice
year round with its narrow dark green leaves. But in the
winter the 12-18" creeping shrub has small white flowers and
shiny black fruit. The flowers are small but have a powerfully
strong scent. 1 gal. $ 12.00

SEQUOIA
S. SEMPERVIRENS 'HENDERSON BLUE' - Could
be grown as a tree but with this redwood we grow then as a
shrubby arching plant. The rich blue flat needles are wonderful
for the shrub garden. We prune upright growing branches 2
times per year to keep the plant shrubby.
1 gal. $ 18.00
SOLANUM GLASNEVIN - We tried this potato vine
several times in various parts of our garden. The plants
survived, not thrived. We finally got smarter and put a plant
on a trellis in full sun surrounded by asphalt. WOW ! What
has happened in several years is amazing. We have small blue
flowers all summer on a vigorous vine. The surprising thing is
the trunk has a 3" caliper and we must prune hard each spring
to control the plant. It doesn't run, but is very happy with the
glossy foliage and blue flowers. 1 gal. $ 12.00
SPIRAEA J 'OGON' - Has golden foliage almost conifer
like. The leaves are 2" long and 1/2" wide. The soft golden

veined leaves all summer. In fall the leaves turn brilliant
scarlet. The flowers are 2" across and have yellow stamens.
S. koreana blooms for at least a month during June and July.
The bark exfoliates in beautiful patches. Stewartia Koreana is

STYRAX
S. 'CARILLON' - "Cousin It". That's the nickname
S. 'Carillon' has gotten here. The main trunk is irregular and
will lose and regain the central leader over time. The dark
green foliage cascades all summer. In the fall the foliage
turns yellow. The flowers are small white stars. The foliage is
so full that the trunks can't be seen, hence its nickname,
"Cousin It." LIMITED 2 gal. $ 45.00
S. JAPONICA 'EMERALD PAGODA' - We first saw
this plant at NCSU a year after J.C. Raulston had gone to
Korea. (1985?). The original and only graft was 6 inches tall
and well hidden in the greenhouse. Two years later I asked
J.C. if any were available. Yes, 6 inch plants or a 3-4 foot
specimen. We found a large box and brought the three to four
foot plant home. The first 2 years the leaves were small then
it got established. The leaves are double the size and the
flowers are at least twice the size as S. japonica. It looks
tropical in its lushness. Again, "Thank you," to J.C.
1 gal. $ 28.00
5 gal. $ 55.00
S. JAPONICA 'FRAGRANT FOUNTAIN' P.P.A.F. We
have had Styrax jap. 'Carillon' for many years and it's a
beautiful small tree. The only problem is our 30 year old plant
is 12' X 12' so it takes up a lot of room in a small garden,
however beautiful it is. We found out about a new weeping
Styrax japonica several years ago discovered by an Oregon
nurseryman who grows thousands of seedlings. Occasionally
a new interesting plant pops up. This excellent plant will grow
upright with a terminal leader. All the stems are strongly
weeping. We have seen trees that are less the 2' wide. The
flowers are the typical white stars in May and June. We only
have a small supply available, so that's the reason for the high
price. Be the first in the world to have this fine selection.
1 gal. $ 80.00
S. JAPONICA 'FROSTED EMERALD' -P.P.A.F - is
from the same nurseryman with an excellent eye for new
plants. Foliage is what it's all about! The foliage on this
styrax is deep green with bright splashes of creamy white.
We have seen plants of Styrax 'Frosted Emerald' in full sun
that have lovely splashes of white on the leaf. In semi shade
the plant will be almost totally creamy white. We would
recommend that it is grown with some afternoon shade.
One per customer 1 gal. $ 80.00

golden leaves with deep green margins. The new growth is
peachy-orange and the plant will make quite a statement in
your garden.

TRACHYCARPUS
T. FORTUNEI - The windmill palm is one of the hardiest
palms we can grow. The parent plant went through -12° F.
and 0° F. two times. A superb palm from China to give that
tropical touch we saw in Tom Hobbs glorious garden in
Vancouver, BC, where he has used several palms to frame the
house and view. Also, makes a fine container specimen.
1 gal. $ 15.00
2 gal. $ 40.00
T. WAGNERIENSIS - We have been told this palm is
hardier than T. fortunei so will probably survive 0° F. The
leaves are smaller than T. fortunei but are still lovely. Some
gardeners say that windmill palms don't fit our mixed
woodland gardens but both these palms are native to the same
areas our rhododendron and magnolias are found so we think
they fit beautifully while also adding the tropical look. Plants
are small but at a reasonable price for this rare plant. Thanks
to Roger Warner for the seed! 1 gal. $ 15.00
TRICYRTIS
T. MACRANTHOPSIS - Very limited. This toad lily
will form an arching perennial for the woodland garden. The

glorious carpets of bloom. 2 1/4"pot $ 6.50

TROCHODENDRON ARALLOIDES - The Japanese
Wheel Tree. Trochodendron is a small evergreen tree of
subtle beauty. The bronze new growth expands as a single
shoot then during the growth season it branches. (It doesn't
stop growing, but essentially pinches itself.) The largest
plants we've seen are 25-30 feet tall and grow in a layered
form. Flower clusters are chartreuse and the seed pods turn
red in late summer. Slow growing and difficult to propagate.
1 gal. $ 25.00
TROPAEOLUM POLYPHYLLUM is a perennial
nasturtium from southern Chile. The foliage is gray blue
green in spring-early summer. The stems are only 18" long
and grow quickly in spring, but will totally disappear by early
July. The flowers are golden yellow and look like small
nasturtium flowers.. Tropaeolum polyhyllum is
extraordinarily difficult to find in gardens let alone nurseries.
We don't have a large supply but want to make the plant
available. T. polyphyllum needs well drained gravely soil and
with us seems to grow best scrambling through a small shrub.
Blooming size tuber $ 25.00
TSUGA MERTENSIANA is our mountain hemlock from
high in the Cascade mountains. We don't see this plant until
about 6000'. The mountain hemlock will be one of the last
windblown trees at the tree line.
The irregular stems are covered with deeep green
needles. This plant is a slow grower and makes a superb
specimen plant or grouping in our vallley gardens. We have
had a plant for 50 years and it's 30' X 8' and makes a stunning
focal point. The plants listed are bushy full small specimens.

'Sunshine Blue' for its blue foliage all spring-fall. In late fall
(December) the orange, red and yellow fall color appears.
During summer we get a month and a half of sweet fruit. V.
'Sunshine Blue' is cold hardy as well as being able to fruit in
southern California.

TERMS
This catalog applies to Fall 2008, and Spring 2009, shipping:
PLEASE ORDER FROM THE CURRENT CATALOG ONLY. Customers will
automatically receive our new catalog each fall. Since certain varieties are often in limited supply,
customers find that by placing their order in the fall for fall or spring shipping we can better ensure
availability and choice of size. Please offer suggested substitutes, though we don't substitute unless
instructed.
PLANTS ARE TAGGED AS ORDERS ARE RECEIVED, therefore earliest orders receive
first choice of plants..............First come, first served.
PAYMENT WITH ORDER PLEASE... WE NOW ACCEPT VISA OR MASTERCARD, and
do not charge the card until the time of the shipment.
We ship earth balls reduced to a minimum in a plastic bag. We do not practice bare root
shipping due to severe shock. We will substitute smaller sizes of your suggested substitutes if
necessary and refund balance.
Shipments are made when plants are dormant from October to March (primarily October 15 to
December 15 and February 15 to early May). We refuse to ship if we deem soft growth too advanced
for sustained crated containment and refund customer's money. We advise midwestern and eastern
customers who receive plants in Spring in dormant condition, and then unpack and hold plants in lighted
basement, garage, or cool greenhouse until danger of severe frost is past.
Shipping: We ask the customer to state choice of carrier, but be receptive to alternative
suggestions. Plants become the property of the customer upon delivery to the transportation company
and we cannot be responsible for loss, damage, or delay. Claims for damage in transit should be made
to the carrier (not the driver). Save all packing materials and contents. Please include street address,
telephone number, and any other pertinent information to aid in delivery.
REGARDING PACKING AND SHIPPING CHARGES:
In the effort to simplify the terms of shipping, 20% for shipments west of the Mississippi River -
or 30% east of the Mississippi River, which will include the packing and prepaid ground UPS or Parcel
Post. This cost (20% or 30% has been reviewed and turns out to be almost exactly the price we charged
in the past for packing and ground shipping). If you wish 2nd day air UPS, 3rd day select UPS, we
will charge 10% packing plus shipping at cost. Due to increased boxing and shipping costs, minimum
packing and shipping is $10.00. Re: 2nd Day UPS, We would like people to know that 2nd day
UPS should only be used when absolutely necessary. 3rd Day Select UPS is drastically less money and
only involves one more day which will not noticably affect the plants. Unless otherwise requested, we
send plants by Regular ground UPS which sometimes takes 10 days to the east coast. Therefore we
often recommend 3rd day UPS, a little more expensive, but a saving in transit time.
Plants are guaranteed true to name and are carefully selected quality plants. Our plants are
regularly inspected by the Oregon Agriculture Department. Since we cannot control planting or
growing conditions after shipment, we cannot be responsible for loss.
We can supply a wholesale catalog upon request to nurseries and landscapers.

Plants, pricing and shipping .....
We really care about our plants, customers, and pricing and, therefore, we address
these issues here:
In general, 1 gallon plants are 6"-18", 2 gallon plants are 18"-24", and 3 gallon
plants are 24"-36". Most of our plants are grafted or cutting grown from our own stock
plants, so we know the correct variety. We also feel that it is better to have cultivars or
known varieties than seedlings. The plants we list have been at the nursery for a least one
season, and our catalog is based on plants in stock at press time. We list plants only
when we have at least 10 of a variety and try to indicate when so few are available.
From our garden and others we choose only the finest most adaptable plants. Since
we are small and don't have a large staff, we can't handle having thousands of varieties of
plants for sale. We put our plants through an evaluation process in our garden. So when
you make a choice you know we have already grown that plant in our own garden and
found it has more beautiful flowers, foliage, fruit, hardiness, etc. than other varieties we
have tried.
As to price, a difficult decision, we try to be fair so not just the wealthy can afford
the plants (we are collectors, too). In many cases there are no other sources to compare
cost, so difficulty in acquisition, propagation, container growing, as well as other nursery
costs must come into play.
Shipping times are between October and December and again February into early
May while the plants are in dormant state. We are always watching the weather across
the country to try to ship the orders so they arrive in good condition. We do not bare root
plants, but do reduce the earth ball to lighten the ship weight while still keeping soil with
the roots. Plants are tied into plastic bags, then tied into cardboard cartons, thus greatly
limiting loss. We'll try to meet your shipping date request, but our schedules, weather,
etc. may affect our ability to do this. In spring, please be patient as we get snowed under
with orders so sometimes it takes until mid May to catch up with the orders. We reserve
the plants ordered and charge credit cards when the plants are shipped, as we are able to
reconcile plants, packing, and shipping charges.
If we have not answered some of your questions, feel free to call.
Re: Your want lists - Often there are plant varieties available in numbers too
few to list here. We invite inquiries and try to advise where plants are
available, if not here.
