S. PSEUDOCAMELLIA - This stewartia is probably the finest for general cultivation. The bark flakes off like a sycamore and has patches of creamy gray, brown, and orange. The flowers are white and have orange stamens. The green foliage turns flaming crimson and yellow in fall This is a small 20'-40' tree of the greatest qualities. 1 gal. $ 22.00 S. ROSTRATA - An exceedingly rare stewartia from China. The dark green leaves are an excellent backdrop for the lovely white flower buds ! The buds have a deep maroon purple bract to enclose the bud and flower. The white flowers have orange stamens. After the flowers drop in June-July the bracts are beautiful the rest of summer. Fall foliage color will be reds, yellows and purples. 2 gal. $ 22.00 S. SINENSIS - This tree is the smallest of the Asian stewartias. The flowers are 1" across in June-July. The bronzy new growth turns green all summer then the most brilliant glowing red in fall. The plant can practically be seen in the dark it's so bright. 1 gal $ 22.00 2 gal. $ 30.00 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 28 SYCOPSIS SINENSIS - An evergreen witchazel relative from China that will grow to 20'. The narrow deep green leaves cover the plant making it an excellent screening plant The small yellow puffs of flowers appear in March. The upright shrub will grow in full fun or semi-shade. 1 gal. $ 18.00 SYRINGA S. 'LACINIATA' - The lace leaf lilac has small leaves that are deeply cut. This easy growing pretty plant is very adaptable. The flowers are light lavender and are an added bonus to the pretty foliage. 1 gal. $ 14.00 S. 'JOSEE'- Introduced by Minier <strong>Nursery</strong>, France in the 1970's, this hybrid of S. patula x macrophylla x meyeri will bloom for an exceedingly long time in spring. The light purple flowers have small individual flowers but are carried in great numbers. S. 'Josee' will grow to 4'-6' tall. 1 gal. $ 14.00 TAXUS 'BEANPOLE' - J ust as the name says, this yew is a beanpole narrow (8'x1'). The deep green foliage will be a wonderful contrast to low growing shrubs or perennials. 1 gal. $ 22.00 TRACHELOSPERMUM JASMINOIDES ORIDO NISHIKI - The star jasmine is a standard in warm climate areas and over the last 15-20 years is seen regularly in the Willamette Valley. The species has deep green leaves and white star shaped very fragrant flowers. This cultivar has deep golden leaves with deep green margins. The new growth is peachy-orange and the plant will make quite a statement in your garden. LIMITED 1 gal. $ 20.00 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 foliage is lovely, let alone the beautiful flowers in late August- September. Small 1 gal. $ 10.00 TRILLIUM RIVALE - We want to thank Glenn Withy and Charles Price for the original seedlings of T. rivale. This southern Oregon native will get 6" tall and carry white flowers spotted with pink in early spring. T. rivale will seed and make 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. 2 gal. $ 35.00 6 gal. $ 55.00 VACCINIUM -BLUEBERRIES For years we have grown the superb Vaccinium '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. If you only have room for one blueberry, V. 'Sunshine Blue' should be the one. But if you have more room we are listing some blueberries for their fruit. These plants all have beautiful fall color as well as delicious fruit that is good for you (antioxidants and all that good stuff) They just taste good! We have chosen the 5 varieties of fruiting shrubs for their adaptability to different parts of the country, excellent fruit over a long period of time and superb fall color.

'BLUE CROP' is supposedly the most widely planted variety because of its large crops of fruit during the midseason. V. 'Blue Crop' is a 4'-6' shrub that is healthy and adaptable over a wide range of the country. 1 gal. $ 15.00 V. 'CHANDLER' is the largest blueberry in the world with a long fruiting season of up to 6 weeks. This shrub is slightly spreading up to 7' so it makes an easy plant to pick fruit form.
