Acer erythranthum FMWJ 13166
Price: $30.00

Medium Band Pot  A species from a 2011 seed collection in the Phansi Pu Valley in Lao Cai, Vietnam at 6000'.  This is quite a new species to cultivation and has distinctive long entire leaves that are richly colored in new growth.  This was a nicely branched small evergreen tree in the wild.  We would guess that this is going to be a good Zone 9 plant and tolerant of only light frost but would not be shocked to see it thrive in Zone 8.  As foot high seedlings, these are have a lot of appeal and we look forward to getting one or two up to a larger size to trial outside here.

A nice companion or alternative to Japanese maples. This Chinese species has distinctive trifoliate leaflets which gives it a graceful appearance and makes one wonder however briefly just what the heck it is. A fine small tree to 25 or 30 feet with a rounded oval habit. Fall color is variable from scarlet to yellow. Le'ts hope for red!

Gallon Pot  Sturdy young plants a foot or so tall from a 2011seed collection in north Vietnam from Lao Cai, Y Ty at 1800 meters.  This is a very handsome species and likely to remain a fairly small tree at 30' or so.  It is quite rare in commerce which is unfortunate because for those with mild enough gardens, this would be a grand addition.  Our best guess for hardiness would be Zone 9 and perhaps a warm Zone 8.

5 Gallon Pot - Pickup at Nursery Only

From our collection in the Damingshan at 4000'. This was on the highest point on this southern range in China not far from the Vietnam border. Surprisingly this sees some serious snow and ice on rare occasions. We've distributed this rare snakebark Maple to several botanic gardens and now here's your chance for something special. The name as you might guess, is in some dispute among the various taxonomists around the world so we've simply included the three most accepted names. We are making just one available as the rest we are planting out here or distributing to various arboreta. This is about 6' tall so will be an immediate part of your garden.

Beautiful Maple from the Southern Mediterranean and Northern Africa that loves the sun and is more drought tolerant than most Maples. We have this in our display border and love the ivy-like leaves and pale salmon new growth. The fruits are a showy reddish color. Nice narrow habit.

Medium Band Pot
This is one of the rarest Maples in wild known only from a very small and threatened population which was recently rediscovered following its introduction to cultivation in the 1930's from a scarce handful of seed. Narrow leaflets in 5's or 7's on a usually shrubby small tree and best in a milder garden. Parent plant thriving in Seattle's Wallingford neighborhood.

Awesome Cutleaf Alder. This selection of this European species makes our own native Alnus rubra weep in envy. The extreme ornament of the foliage makes us weep as well but with tears of joy. Rapid growth in rich moist bottomland, slower in average settings.

This is pretty much our default tree whenever anyone asks about a good small tree. This has zero bad habits that we know about it and is a rapid grower with small evergreen leaves and minute yellow flowers that smell heavenly of marzipan or something similarly decadent.

A grand small-scale evergreen tree for our area. This is what Boxwood dreams about becoming - much as I dream about being tall and thin, the humble Box envys this Azara with its perfect variegated leaves and tiny yellow flowers packing a big fragrance and all on a small tree frame.

Small Band Pot  A collection from Lao Cai, Phansi Pu valley in northern Vietnam at 1760 meters.  A lot of plants have been proving hardy for us coming out of north Vietnam and we look forward to testing this 2011 collection.  This looks like it will be a fine tree with bronzed new growth.  We're guessing zone 7 until we know better.  An interesting rarity.

Very choice dwarf Birch which Sue brought with her from Vermont. This is native to eastern Canada and we've stumped every hort illuminati as to species and all but one or two as to genus. It looks like some crazy dwarf Ceonothus with dense stems and closely held leaves. Rare? I guess!

Excellent selection of River Birch (ask Sue if she likes River Birch) with exceptional exfoliating bark peeling off in wide flakes to reveal a hallucinatory bark dream with under layers of tan and cream, orange and gray, violet and salmon. Seriously. Resistant to most all Birch pests.

This is cutting grown from storm damaged branches from the tree in the Washington park Arboretum in Seattle where it is a narrow broadleaf evergreen nearly 30' tall.  This originally came from Mt Heng in Hunan Province via the Shanghai Botanic Garden Index Seminum.  White flowers followed by red fruit.  This is certainly good in Zone 7 as it has gone through some serious winters (in the Seattle sense of serious) and possibly into Zone 6.

Yet another cool evergreen from Chile. In the wild this can reach 40'-50' tall but in our NW gardens it remains a large shrub. One inch pure white flowers in early summer are quite nice and with luck the reddish seedpods will follow. Best in part shade but full sun ok in milder gardens.

This ain't no ho-hum filler plant. It's got great leaves like an excited Walnut but held high on a bare cane-like trunk. Sure, the flowers blow but we don't grow it for the bloom. Oh no, it is the late season clusters of brilliant blue fat bean pods like blue rubber gloves hung high that jazzes us. Within the pods nestle black flattened seeds cushioned by lots of Decaisnea Gelatin which gives the unopened pods the texture of the fingers of a person drowned but not soon found. Thanks to CSI and Bones, we all know exactly what this feels like.

Chilean Fire Tree. One of the most dramatic plants for our area. This requires our cool and moderate climate where it can become a 20' + narrow tree that is usually multi-trunked. In late May and June, this is a tower of blazing red-orange tubular flowers and you will get little else done other than answering questions from the neighbors about just what is that tree? Best protected from freezing winds, ours is fully exposed to such but we wrap the trunk if we drop into the teens. These are young plants but they will grow rapidly. Being in the Proteaceae, they don't enjoy phosphorous so be careful what you fertilize them with - it is the P in the NPK ratio. Rather than think too hard on it, we just ladle some dairy manure around our plants.

This subalpine species is one of the big timber trees Down Under and one we can generally grow here in the PNW. This makes a striking tree with peeling bark and gray narrowly ovate leaves in both the juvenile and mature forms. White flowers in profusion could give rise to local Eucalyptus honey. Good drainage. Fast growing.

Snow Gum. One of the best for our climate, this is an excellent small tree with arching trunks of no small character. Blue-green rounded juvenile leaves transform into small lance-shaped leaves when mature. Isn't the trick to growing old retaining some of the outrage(nous) of youth? Best drier.

4" Pot
This is a distinctive evergreen species from the Southeast bottom corner of Australia where it can reach nearly 50' in the cool temperate rainforests.  Neat pinnate foliage comprised of 5-13 narrow long leaflets makes this instantly recognizable among its kin.  Lots of late summer big 4-petaled white flowers with that flamboyant display of long stamens that is one of the good things about the genus.  This makes narrow small tree or large shrub and needs a mild garden.  A lot of winters here we can make this happy but then there are the ones that make it unhappy to moribund so we grow it in a container.  There are plenty of Northwest gardens where this would be worth a shot but Zone 9 is the sure thing.  It is not a heat lover and likes a cool root run.

A pretty cool introduction from Cistus Nursery from a batch of seedlings and this stood out with its silvery filigreed leaves. A surprisingly hardy Fig with intriguing foliage and small figs which we have heard rumors of being edible. Insert disclaimer here. We've seen the species growing quite happily in the Cistus display gardens near Portland which attests to its love of heat (they are hot in so many ways) which we don't get here in maritime Port Townsend but which it does have in its native Iran and Afghanistan. Plant this in a hot spot that gets on the dry side - it should love it. We've yet to try it ourselves outside yet although our friend the inimitable Duane West grew the species for years in a pot in his sheltered garden near Sequim until he gave it to us. Next year we'll do it - it's going out!

This is a phenomenal winter blooming plant with silver-sage and mauve pencil thin pendulous catkins up to 12" long in winter which look as though the lustrous evergreen leaves had been festooned with some sort of botanical tinsel in the most artistic manner.

Santa Cruz Cypress. One the rarest conifers on the West Coast with the species restricted to just a few isolated sites in the Santa Cruz Mts and one population in San Mateo County, California. It is listed as endangered. This is the subspecies opleri as recently described by John Silba although this subspecies is not formally recognized and at this time is considered a synonym. John sent us seeds and these plants are from cuttings from those plants. To further confuse things, this was in the genus Cupressus and then spent a little time in Callitropsis and now is finally in Hesperocyparis but never say never. It looks like this will be a nice addition to the water-wise landscape as its needs are low. This will become a 20' - 25' small tree somewhat oval in shape with russet twigs, attractive rough bark peeling away to show burnished mahogany smooth bark beneath and fine needled light to yellow-green foliage. We haven't trialed it outside here yet but are going to plant out a nice grove this spring. We expect it will be hardy for us as it gets up to 2400' in the mountains down there and hopefully has some genetic memory of colder times in the past.

This unique holly, sometimes called the SIlver Hedgehog holly, is a "Great Plant Pick". It features a beautiful creamy band around the each leaf. New shoots are an attractive purple, contrasting the older foliage. It's a full size holly, but can be kept smaller with pruning. Easy to grow. A male, so it won't spread into the wild.
